Family House Dolní Chabry

The land, shaped like an irregular trapezoid, slopes down from the access road towards the south. The elevation of the land is more than 4 meters. There are no mature trees on the plot.
Due to the slope of the land to the south and access to the plot from the north, the house, with a floor plan shaped like an L, is positioned as far as possible into the northeastern part of the plot. This achieves the most efficient use of the plot while allowing the house to open to the southwest. The driveway to the plot is located at the northern boundary. The northern wall of the building is positioned according to the setback distance of 6 meters from this boundary.
The structure of the house consists of two masses that together form the aforementioned L-shaped floor plan. One part is a higher mass along the eastern side of the plot, and the other is a lower part that adjoins it perpendicularly to the west along the northern boundary of the plot. The building takes advantage of the existing slope of the land. Therefore, the basement (1.PP) in the northern part is sunk below ground level, and the ground floor (1.NP) is almost at street level, where both the entrance and the driveway to the double garage are located. From the street Pihelská, the house appears as a single-story building, only rising to the full height of two stories in the lower part of the plot.
The layout of the house is based on the concept of being embedded in the terrain. Therefore, the entrance spaces and garages are on the ground floor at the level of the road, while the living area of the house is in the basement with a natural connection to the garden. In the middle part of the eastern mass, a gallery is designed that is open through both floors. In the southern part of the ground floor (1.NP), there is a separate children's room, accessible via a bridge. This allows for intimacy. The entrance is separated from the garage by a staircase, which connects the floor with the ground level. To the left of the entrance is a study. Further to the right is the entrance to the staircase and to the left is the bridge that wraps around the gallery, allowing access to the room. There is also access to the bathroom and a separate toilet from the bridge. Descending the staircase, the layout divides into a "private" and "public" area. To the right of the staircase, towards the west, is a bedroom with a separate bathroom, toilet, and closet, and to the left is a passage to the dining room with the kitchen and living room. In the space behind the kitchen, there is a guest room, a sanitary facility, and access to the technical room behind the staircase, which is also used as a laundry room. The living room is not separated from the dining room by a full wall, only by a fireplace base. The spaciousness and brightness are further enhanced by the gallery open through two stories above the dining area, illuminated by strip windows in the eastern and western facades. To achieve a smooth transition to the lower level of the plot, the kitchen, just like the living room, is lowered by one step.
The construction is of a "builder's" house, with outer walls made of brick without subsequent insulation, and vertical rainwater drains are typically led along the facade, etc. The outer walls and internal partitions are made of the POROTHERM brick system plastered with structured plaster or covered with brick cladding. The ceilings are made of reinforced concrete monolith and the metal work is in titanium zinc.
