The plot of the family house is located in a quiet area in the village of Březová-Oleško. The locality alternates between family houses and recreational buildings. The tranquil character is enhanced by the lazily meandering Vltava river at the foot of the hill.
The plot is gently sloped, rising to the south, that is, from the entrance towards the garden.
The family house is designed as a two-story wooden construction made of solid CLT panels. The house is oriented towards the garden, with the main glazed areas located on the southern façade. The ground floor features common spaces – a kitchen with a dining area and a living room. Additionally, there is an office, social, and technical facilities on the ground floor. The house is connected to the garden via a terrace with a pergola. The bedrooms, children's room, and main bathroom are located on the upper floor. The interior reveals wooden elements of the load-bearing structure. This primarily includes the external walls and ceiling on the ground floor, which is made of solid beams. The wooden surface is treated with an oil coating featuring a subtle, partially opaque pigment with a white hue. This preserves the texture of the wood.
The shape of the house has a simple and legible geometry. We have slightly animated the basic block in the design. The southern façade, which opens to the garden, has a clear form that is sliced with simple window shapes. In contrast, the northern façade has only narrow windows to maintain privacy from the street view. The roof of the upper floor rises from the street towards the garden. Therefore, the lowest height is in the bathroom and the parents' bedroom, while the children's room already features a generously high ceiling. Part of the living room and the office are only on the ground floor. Here, the slanted roof creates a relatively high ceiling, giving the space an unexpected airiness.
The façade is made of wooden planks from Siberian larch without surface treatment. Over time, the wood greys and acquires a natural patina. The windows, entrance doors, and roofing are designed in an anthracite shade.
