Family House Kudlov

The building is located in the southern part of the city of Zlín in the Kudlov–Záhumení area and is part of a newly built development of five family houses. The site and, in particular, the surroundings are characterized by a distinct terrain configuration with views of the Vizovické Hills of the Central Moravian Carpathians and a dense forest cover. The plot of the house is situated at the end of the street and has the shape of an almost regular rectangle with dimensions of 60 x 30 m. Access is from the local road from the shorter southern side.
The concept is based on a composition of mutually similar elements – blocks that are arranged additively and utilize the slope of the terrain. The internal spaces of the house are defined by the mutual displacement of volumes. Each level is assigned a function – at the lowest level, there is an entrance and garage, in the middle section a dining room with a kitchen, and at the highest, a living room with an adjacent relaxation area. In the basement, there is a sauna with a relaxation room and technical facilities. At roof level, there is a study with a terrace.
The house is based on reinforced concrete foundation strips, and the outer walls are made of ceramic blocks, insulated with a contact insulation system. The ceiling slabs are cast-in-place reinforced concrete. The windows and doors in the outer shell are aluminum. The facade is clad with veneered panels. The primary interior construction of the house is finished in natural elm veneer.
