Family House in Popovičky II

The owners of the first house in Popovičky began to fear that the neighboring plot would be built upon with a structure that would not match their vision of beautiful living and would disrupt the harmony of the immediate surroundings. They therefore recommended the plot and architect to their colleague. Thus, a brick counterpart was proposed for the wooden cottage. Together, both houses serve as an archetypal manifesto against the mass development of standardized houses that are devastating to Czech villages.
The focal point of the building's design is the passage through the house along the transverse axis, where two seating areas are created around a table - an elevated interior and a covered exterior. The brick casing of the shell and slate roofing together support a traditional expression.
The outdoor modifications were certainly not underestimated, and thus the house does not fall among the mass of houses with gardens that were left without funding. Moreover, this environment is an everyday image when viewed from the window. Both plots were unified into one, eliminating the unnecessary barrier of a fence, and the garden generously highlights the simplicity of the homes.
