Family House Malíkovi

The family house is part of a row of houses in a typical suburban village. From the south side, the plot is shaded by a tall gable wall of the neighboring house and its courtyard wing with a terrace. To maximize the elimination of this adverse impact of the surrounding buildings, especially the undesirable view from the neighbors' terrace onto the client's property, a square floor plan was chosen with larger distances from neighboring plots, and an "atrium" was designed with a small sala terrena formed by two parallel steel walls with wooden infill.
The house is two stories, oriented with respect to the character of the adjacent spaces. The western facade with the attached atrium, sala terrena, and balcony with terrace is designed to be as open as possible to the garden with large glass walls. The other facades, facing the busy street or oriented towards the gable wall and plot of the neighboring house, have as few window openings as possible. The layout of the ground floor with a square hall allows direct access to the sanitary facilities and to the living room with kitchen and dining room. A pantry leads to the garage and also to the kitchen. The living room is oriented with a glazed wall towards the garden and is connected to the kitchen by a sliding red wall with a horizontal window.
An open staircase connects the ground floor with the hall on the upper floor, where doors leading to the bedrooms and bathroom are symmetrically arranged. The materials used for the constructions include wood, steel, and glass. The facade is light gray, while the windows and metal products are dark gray.
