Family house of the Barbořík couple

The house is located in Luhačovice, east of the spa center near the Šťávnice River. It is a reconstruction and extension of a single-story family home in the street front of three buildings forming a block of the street, concluding the corner with a gable.

Original condition
The existing building was made of fired bricks with a wooden ceiling and roof structure. The attic space under the roof was unused. In the yard, there was an extension covered with a low monopitch roof. The building contained a 3+1 apartment.

Extension
The aim of the reconstruction was to expand the living area of the house while maintaining the built-up area and creating two separate housing units - a studio apartment on the ground floor and a 3+1 apartment with separate facilities. Due to the poor condition of the wooden structures of the house, there was a complete replacement of the ceiling of the first floor and the construction of a new roof structure.
The basic mass of the house and the entire block is preserved from the street, including the gable corners. The adjacent extension in the courtyard responds to the higher buildings in the neighboring street. It is a two-story wooden structure with a flat roof that replaced the original extension.
The gable roof and facade of the extension have a uniform surface of aluminum-coated sheet metal.

Disposition of the building
The main entrance to the house is via the new extension, where a vestibule, an entrance hall with sanitary facilities, and separate entrances to both apartments are designed on the ground floor. On the first floor of the original house, there is a studio apartment and the main living space of the second apartment, open up to the part of the attic under the gable. From the entrance hall, a one-flight staircase leads to the second floor, where the quiet part of the apartment with three bedrooms, sanitary facilities, and a small terrace is located.
