Aleš Javůrek won a competition for a house on the famous Bondi beach

Sydney - Czech architect Aleš Javůrek can build a house on the famous Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Javůrek won an international architectural competition with an original design partially made from shipping containers. The Australian magazine Architecture and Design reported on its website that Javůrek succeeded against more than three hundred competitors.
    The two-story house intended for recreation is set to be located in an attractive spot with a panoramic view of the world-famous beach and Sydney. Javůrek impressed the competition jury with a project whose foundation consists of a wooden structure, and the living spaces are partially filled with steel containers.
    One of the architect's priorities was reportedly to preserve the trees and lawn and respect the division of the terrain into three elevation levels of the slope above the beach. According to his design, the upper terrace will occupy parking space, the central area will be the house itself, and the lower area will feature a pool.
    According to the jury, Javůrek managed to address the changing climatic conditions of the Australian coast. The house is very energy efficient, with green roofs preventing overheating during the summer months, while in winter the building can be mostly heated by sunlight.
