A family house in Hlubocepy

Designed by RO_AR Szymon Rozwałka architects, the new family house in Hlubocepy is located on the border between two different realities: the urban and the natural one. The first surrounds the site on the south and east side and presents a chaotic and random development, the second instead is connected to the property thanks to a bio-corridor that extends following the course of the nearby Dalejský Brook and is enhanced by the use of Hlubočepské rocks.

The shape and spatial layout of the house is a response to the chaotic urban context: the design seeks to encompass nature within the site and in the interiors. The resulting volumes are almost reminiscent of a natural element, a hill. At the same time, the shape of the building responds to the needs of everyday life, such as adequate natural lighting of the rooms, large and welcoming spaces.

In the early stages, the studio had designed the house inside an artificial hill. However, due to the need to limit the budget, the previously proposed intervention had to be significantly reduced. Despite the changes, the final result is still in line with the initial concept: a house that delicately links the urban context to the natural one, which features careful planning both in the interiors and in the external spaces.
