MULTIFUNCTIONAL CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY CENTER NEAR THE HISTORICAL CENTER OF ČESKÝ KRUMLOV (UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE)

The architecture of the objects of the multifunctional cultural and community center emerges from the urbanistic study. In their volume and location these buildings don’t exceed the maximal height level of the surrounding area and respect its natural configuration as well as its historical value. Both houses correspond not only in terms of materials but also in their simple conception free of all unnecessary formalities. They are not trying to compete with the town and its genius loci; on the contrary, they attempt to create a dignified entrance worthy of the town. Their floor plan creates a coherent space with a certain amount of tension created by the very not-orthogonal arrangement. The buildings can be used together to host large events or separately to provide space for small scale activities such as regular evening courses, classes and com-munity gatherings.

The picturesque riverside location brings along certain disadvantages such as threat of floods. Considerable part of the town is also so called “endangered by the river” and it has always been. It takes account of the power of the water and it is designed and built in the manner that can endure such condition - solid construction and situating living rooms and main storage in higher floors. Since the Lipno dam has been built (in the 1960´s) there have been no major floods but one(2002). It uveiled the flaws of the contemporary building that disrespected the original conception of the local traditional construction. The context of the listed building of the former cloth-factory is essential in the new structures proposal. There must be no elevated platforms on columns, garage blocks etc. The new buildings must flu-ently follow the concept, location and volume of the existing. Occasional damage caused by water must be easy to remove. The construction and disposition design emerges from these requirements. There are no cellars, the main construction is monolithic concrete. The representation halls, storage rooms, technologies, archive and office are situated in the 2nd and 3rd floor. The ground-floor is mod-est, designed in mostly water-resistant materials.

The entrance to the building B is right opposite to the entrance into the restaurant situated in the old building. The following foyer is double hight space. The two small halls in the groundfloor are equiped by two locker rooms with bathrooms for the quests and enjoy the view of the river. The main hall is once again elevated in the 2nd floor and with no visual contact with the exterior. The 3rd floor is reserved for the tech-nologies, the management office, archive and employees´ facilities. To preserve the intact and compact volume of the building, the skylights are used.

The central theme of the building A is the large representation hall elevated on two plinths(bar/cloakroom and toilets), accessible by two one-flight staircases lit through the skylights and the high top lit foyer with a bar. Another significant quality of this arrange-ment is the presence of the daylight in the hall which is welcome especially during day-long conferences. It is lit through the glazed openings into the staircase spaces which are not, unlike the glazed groundfloor walls, visually connected to the exterior, therefore the audience is not disturbed by the outside happenings. In order to enhance the acoustics or to provide a special ambience the heavy courtains can cover the side walls.

REVITALISATION OF A FORMER INDUSTRIAL AREA NEAR THE HISTORICAL CENTER OF ČESKÝ KRUMLOV (UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE)

The town is a complex living organism and while designing a specific area it is vital to take account of the entire urban structure with its issues, potential and qualities. A thorough analysis provides the basis for this elaborate project: the strategic planning docu-ments, urban planning documents, demografic studies and action plans. There are three hottest post-indus-trial areas surroundint the entrance to the old town that demand to be taken care of. This study is con-centrating on the most actual area of these three - the “Ambit” zone.

The project of revitalisation of the Ambit area in Český Krumlov emerges from the current needs and the future strategic visions of the town as well as from its histori-cal context and cultural heritage. It proposes a natural and simple cultivation of the grounds and their transformation into a park and riverside promenades creating an agreeable background for the pedestrian paths joining the downtown with the housing areas in the suburbs. This environment creates a set for a multifunctional cultural and community centre.

Ambit - connecting center and housing

Currently there exists only a narrow stripe of pavement on one side of the busy route I/39 that the residents of the largest neighborhoods can use to walk to the downtown. Let´s create a pleasant trail which attracts! Let´s create a path throug a park - a pedestrian axis of the Krumlov´s people!

Ambit - a point of interest on the way to history

Almost everyone arrives along the route I/39 from České Budějovice. Let´s place a new town icon so they can see it! Let´s support the magnificent view of the castle!

2 paths - 2 identities

Along one path dozens of people walk every day, along the other hundreds of people from time to time. The first one winds from place to place and makes the daily way of the locals more pleasant. The second one brings the visitors directly and in a dignified way to the piazzeta in front the cultural object. The first one leads through a park, the second one is beset by rows of trees.

new/old - urban/natural

There used to be a millstream along the former Porák cloth-factory. Let´s rediscover history - let´s recreate the millstream! The reminiscence of the faded glory of the Krumlov´s industry - the millstream copies the original path along the old building. The vision of a prosperous future - the curved millstream is softly embracing the new build-ing - it is changing as well as the time and use. On one bank there is the green leisure park to refresh your body, on the other there are the cultural facilites to enrich your soul.

2-STOREY MULTI-GENERATION FAMILY HOUSE WITH 4 HOUSING UNITS AND AN OFFICE

with: Marek Matrtaj

New building is erected in the place of the old country house which is in a bad condi-tion lacking proper foundations and being used for agricultural purposes. The build-ing is located in the rural area close to Walding. It is a country house with agri-cultural facilities, surrounded by scattered agricultural dwellings of the same type, and fields. Its a free standing dwelling, lo-cated on a south facing slope, surrounded by fields, forest, and a pond on the south side. The character of the region is protect-ed by european and local statutes.

Architectural and typological design - the country house is a 2-storey house, with an uninhabitable attic space and partial basement. The house consists of 3 simple volumes, following the U shaped outline of the original country house. The two main volumes are two storey roofed with a simple gable roof with a slope of 25° and east-west orientation of the ridge. The con-necting volume is one storey volume with a terrace atop. The built-up area of the house is 484,91 m2. The house consists of 5 units – 4 housing and one office.

The connecting volume contains a wellness zone – a wintergarden, which is followed by a sauna, shower and a WC. The north main volume contains the office, 2 flats on the 1.floor, and one flat on the 2.floor. The office is accessible from the main staircase. On the first floor there is an open space office with a meeting place, serviced by a kitchen, and a WC. The top floor is accessible via a stair-case, and visually connected by a ceiling opening. The top floor serves as a single office space with an access to the terrace. The flats on the 1.floor of the north main volume are each accessible through a separate entry on the north side. They are of same floor area and consist of an entry hall, bathrom, living space with a kitchen and a bedroom. The walls of these flats are partitions, thus al-lowing a flexible future rearrangement. The flat on the 2.floor has a separate entry on the north side, followed by the entry hall. Entry hall serves as a changing room for dirty clothes – it includes a wash-basin, and wardrobes beneath the staircase. The flat on the 2. floor consists of a main living space – living room and a kitchen, followed by a auxilliary block – a walk through closet, WC and a bathroom, and a bedroom on the east side of the flat.The aim is maximal practicality and minimal visual and building impact on the site.

WORKSHOP - SOUTH MORAVIAN SPA DEVELOPEMENT

organisator: UN3 FA VUT - Prof.Ing.arch Petr Pelčák a Jihomoravský kraj

with: Marek Matrtaj, Tereza Křivinková, Enrico Montagnoli

1.place

Goal of the workshop was to propose a concept for the spa area on the shore of the Novomlýnská reservoir Mušov II in the beautiful neighborhood of the Pálava hills.

There are supposed to be situated accom-modation capacitis of different categories, balneocenter with its own accommodation, spa and wellness with areas reserved to the staying guests and commuting visitors.There had been a proposal for a large spa complex project in the past that would not pay off in the current economical situation. Based on this conception the construction had begun. Therefore we had to put up with the given shape, position and dimen-sions of certain roads.Our design is based on the fusion of the traditional local values, landscape con-figuration and the principles of sustainable developement. The vital role in our project played the hu-man scale, proportion and the traditional composition of rural landscape that are essential for natural and harmonical ambi-ence.

Green-filter/trees/potential zone of growth, blue-spa,purple-balneo,brown - accom-modation in the vineyard, yellow-vineyard/winery, light green- parking/vineyared

The area of the village square is defined by the given road. Suggestion is to create a romantic miniature of surrounding landscpe - hills, ponds, woods, meadows, settle-houses, vineyards...

Accommodation in low rise traditional houses surrounded by vineyards, accessi-ble by car but with parking on the adjoining area. Possibility of sequential growth

Typical use of the land is vineyard and orchard - the trees will filter the noise from the camping and the motorway, vineyard will embrace the accomodation.

The given sickle shaped road is completed into a circle which creates a tradi-tional village square - with a water element and trees, surrounded by houses.

The given roads are used by cars, adding of pedestrian and cycling paths offer-ing number of viewing axes and events is suggested.

The project is defined by the identity of the place and the landscape set which is supposed to be enhanced, not disturbed

Ideal and balanced use can be reached through joining traditional values with local traditions.

Attractivity of the area is in several crucial points that attract different groups and types of people.

The balneo center for demanding customers - accommodation and therapy under a single roof, view of the reservoir. Possibility of further growth.

The main spa complex with several different pre-paid zones. Possibility of further growth.

Proposal of the spa comples - the pools and wellness zones are separated by the areas of calming green. The contact with the surrounding landscape is essential.

Surrounding landscape is not visually separated. Only the height levels differ - the terraces provide calm space, the pools pass from the interior into the exterior.

Possibility of modern building according to traditional forms. Impression of the spa village square and tho “colonade”, natural placement of the structure into the Palava hills landscape.

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP - NEW HOUSING DEVELOPEMENT IN VRA-NOV

with: Marek Matrtaj, Pavlína Doležalová, Sandro Durrer, Nicolas Hemmerle

1.place

The aim was to create a concept of housing structure in the neighborhood of Vranov by Brno - historically important place of pilgrimage.The vital idea of our proposal was to avoid producing another urban sprawl near Brno and to take advantage of the great potential of the site.

By analysing the needs of Vranov and using historically verified conceptions of settlement of the land around spiritual and economical centers we reached the most natural structure design - isolated dwellings - “lazy”.

vranovské lazy

different settlement density: city x country => dense x sparse

different density is lethal to the country and to the city as well - it is neither

types of landscape around Vranov - orchards, meadows, forests - preserve them

no competitive village should be created next to Vranov

typical settlement pattern on our land center - village with scattered dwellings around isolated dwellings - a few houses together - support different types of communities

due to collectivization of agriculture vast fields were created : CZ x Austria

urban structure of Vranov - monastery with the church in the center of the settlement

COMPETITION - SMOGFREE CITIES - ČESKOMORAVSKÝ CEMENT

with: Marek Matrtaj

This project is not envisioning a unique sculpture. It is a set of objects for univer-sal use. The principal idea of the project is to materialise the essence of life on Earth and to illustrate the purpose of the material TX–ACTIVE – which is pure clean air. Single objects represent the different molecules of gases creating our atmo-sphere. They are created in such scale to be easily understood by human sens-es and also to provide an alternative to the regular urban furniture. These groups of objects of different sizes installed in particular locations of the city have number of roles and purposes. These are not only to improve the qual-ity of the air in the problematic parts of the city but also to provoke curiosity and ecological awareness in the inhabitants of the cities. The epicentre of the installa-tions is located in the city centre with the above-average amount of traffic – emis-sions.

The concentration of the objects is high and there is also one superior, larger object with a scheme and a text explaining the essence and the function of the Earth´s atmosphere and also the purpose of the installation, its parts and its allover influence on the city air.Due to the simple form of the objects and their repetition the prefabrication is possible. The surfaces or the elements´ models are marked by the reliefs of their chemical symbols thus increasing their surface and the photocatalytical ability.Various groups, positions, locations and amounts of the elements can improve, revitalise and complete different public spaces or even less urbanised areas. One can lean on them while having a picnic, sit on them while waiting for a date... one can walk among them or climb on them... the objects can be part of water elements in the parks or on the squares or they can dominate the centres of roundabouts...As an example of the instalations´ locations the suitable spots are marked in the map of Brno. These places are loaded with the traffic but also have the quality urban space and the great potential.

It is just the air, it is everywhere. But there is nothing without it.

Let´s materialise pure air!

TXActive is a revolutionary self-cleaning building material with the ability to reduce the amount of air pollutants by light and thus purifies the air, like trees and greenery.These materials can be used to build everything you normally build of cement.

The essence of technology is the use of TX Active cement containing photocatalyst -substances accel-erating the natural decomposition of the pollution by action of light.All products in the TX Active materials have not only self-cleaning ability, but they also eliminate the hazardous substances in their environment, such as nitrogen oxides NOx

STUDENT HOUSING WITH A GARDEN

with: Marek Matrtaj

How to accomodate 80 students in a place with identity?What does a student need? Morning cof-fee (beer), three hours to finish a drawing, place to learn, but most of all, place to meet and talk and spread ideas. Garden or kitchen, both a living centre of student life, combined to form a platform for gath-ering and learning from each other.

WHAT`S GOING ON?

Garden - the key element creating a meeting place, connecting the two volumes and visually balancing the simple geometric volumes of the habitat.

Contact and interaction - the main place of contact is kitchen, a natural and obvious solution, and in order to highlight its importance - it has a prominent place on the facade! and moreover - a garden full of people can make people forget their dinner...

Noise - although there have always been apartement houses on this busy street, the current regulations do not allow for a living or sleeping room to be located on the street facade, thus, these need to be kept behind a noise reducing facade. In contrast with the usual dull facades against noise, this one bursts with life - place to sit and watch surroundings, read morning news, grow plants... all visible and attractive from the street, creating a pleasant street - house interaction.

REDISINING KONEČNÉHO SQUARE

with: Marek Matrtaj

The City Interventions project is a professional and civic ini-tiative. It offers a service to city inhabitants, the provision of which logically arises from the essence of educating an archi-tect.This project is based on the finding that most city inhabitants are convinced that architects do not do the most that can be expected from them – i.e., that architects do not actively in-tervene in public affairs, that they do not deal with the urban space that influences our everyday movement and life in a city, that the architect (if he or she manages to find a willing investor) only tries to build a personal memorial regardless of its impact on the environment.Drop the backpack with the books or the tube with the draw-ings, the bag with the groceries or the kid with the bucket … Lay down on the grass, sit down on a rock, lean against a tree, dip your feet in the water ... Ignore the cars, the trams, the trol-leybuses... Perceive the genius loci – the pulse of the city and the tranquillity at the same time... Admire the noble architec-ture, the historical monuments... Observe the passers-by, the playing children... Experience the’Konečňák’

Konečného square-busy traffic junction, crossroad between the important institutions and public facilities-space defined by the set of three magnificent buildings in the art-nouveau style by Franz Pawlů-tiny lawn curtailed by three busy roads which prevent the quality use of the area and its unity with the building fronts defining the square-triangle loaded with potentialKonečného square? Intervention!We suggest to get rid of the negatives and to emphasise the positives. Without radical interventions into the city´s urban plan and complicated changes to the transport infrastructure. Preserve and change.We are proposing a simple structure of rubble, soil and concrete prefabricates that will create an area protected from the traffic noise eliminating the cars from the sight while keeping the great panorama of the surrounding buildings.Purify, clean, crowd, screen out, enrich, revitalise.The mound creates an acoustical and visual barrier but unlike a wall you can grass it over, lay down on it, or cross it any time. Given by the vastness of the space the mound doesn’t make an impres-sion of hugness and inaccessibility. Just the opposite- it is seducing and inviting to explore what is behind. And as the classic says: “People are there where there are people.” we can’t leave the oasis of the urban space without the pedestrians. Moving the sidewalk on the busiest side of the square (Veveri) behind the mound will provide a stable flow of the people in the area. Reduced height and larger width of the mound on the west corner allows the access from the second busiest direction without disturbing the intimate ambiance of the space. The city furniture and a landscape element together there are lightweight concrete cubes. In the centre of the triangle the terrain sinks more thus creating a little amphitheatre which can host various activities such as childrens’ games or alternative theatre plays, happening and performances. The bottom could change into a water element – a shallow fountain springing from the ground to different heights. The trees can stay. The bushes can’t.

SENIOR HOUSING AND YOUNG FAMILY FLATSbachelor project

The building site is created by a corner gap in the existing structure on the Bečva riverfront with a view of the historical town of Přerov on the other bank. There is a park in the neighborhood. According to the analysis of the town´s needs and the strategic planning docu-ments the most suitable use of the new building would be senior housing in combin-tation with small flats for singles and young families. The location is genuinely ideal for the senior housing - in walking distance from the old town center, surrounded by the necessary civic facilites and near the park. To rejuvenate the atmosphere of the place (and to provide some diversion for the old people) the small apartements for the young are situated in the same object.The goal was to create a vertical accent to the horizontal riverfront as a dialogue with the old town´s towers as well as a pleasant urban space in human scale.

The housing for the elderly benefits rather from a view of a public space than of a private couryard(more things to watch if one can´t move too much). Therefore the volumes are drawn backt to the northern and western edges of the site and a space for a corner square connected to the town organism and the river is provided. The apartments for handicaped people are situated in the horizontal volumes and they are equiped with large private loggias which are separated one of another by flower-pots with plants the height of which depends on the relationships between the neighbours. The singles´ and young family flats fill the vertical volume of the 11floor tower. The rigid raster of the windows is suppressed by the sliding shading panels with a circle motive that cheer up the facade ac-cording to the everyday life of the inhabitants. The entire ground floor is reserved for various shops, civic facilities (hairdresser, pedicure, pharmacy) and a café with a perron in the square. The trees in the south-east corner of the square optically enclose the block and provide more intimate atmosphere. The composition and the expression of the building is complex and unified while preserving individual identity of living of people.

THE ENTRANCE TO THE GARDENS AND CASTLE OF LEDNICEUNESCO WORLD HERITAGE

The site is situated between the gar-dens and the main square of the town of Lednice right behind the wall which runs around the entire park and gardens. The program of the project was to design a ticket office, bathrooms, a gift-shop and gallery and to deal with the entire site regarding its historical importance. The main concept of my design was to enlarge public space and to cultivate this area separated from the rest of the town by the protected castle wall which has today lost its original purpose of separat-ing the nobles from the peasants. This space creates a transition between the town and the park though it stays urban. The building is minimal - it has clearly defined volume which creates a natural border of the piazzeta and in which all the functions except for the gallery are situated. The object is opaque in the west where there are the bathrooms, semitransparent in the part of ticket of-fices and fully transparent on the other end with the gift-shop.The aim is maximal practicality and minimal visual and building impact on the site.

The building of the rectory provides a perfect space for the gallery. All the walls and ceilings in the interior are removed, the space opens itself to the roof truss thus pro-viding room for placement (hanging) of larger exhibits. In the southern part the space is vertically divided by an upper balcony above the service area of the museum which provides another perspective of the exhibits.

DIGITAL ENVIRONMENTSACRED SPACE IN VIRTUAL REALITY

In virtual reality there are no boundaries and so are not in your mind. You are floating in space, exploring remote corners of your mind, reanimating old dusty memories, caressing secret desires and hugging the freshest wounds. You are strolling through the immensity of the space, entering harbors to find reconciliation and new strength. In this reality you weight nothing and you fit everywhere. Nowadays you are constantly formed and shaped by thousands of stimulations, your surrounding knows exactly what you are supposed to do, to wear, to think. Nowadays your inner-self is the most sacred place you can find. Your inner-self between heaven and earth. Your soul, your humanity. In this virtual reality you refresh it. There is heaven, there is earth and in between there is your inner-self glowing with all colors. You enter where you desire the most. You are inside. Around you clouds with your memo-ries, thoughts and wishes float. They emerge from your inner-self and they surround you. It is only up to you. What used to by in the inside is absorbing you from the outside now. Your inner-self, your sacred space, your show.

But you are not alone. In this interface between heaven and earth you use to enter your inner-self there are also other people searching them-selves, refreshing their humanity. Everyone can enter his private cham-ber and let himself be surrounded by himself. And you know that they have their most sacred space, their thirteenth chamber too. And they know they are not alone in this.

Virtual reality is perfectly adapted to you, the unique individual, to your thoughts, needs, to your inner-self. This individual flexibility coexists with the universal conscience of a world full of unique individuals. It is yours and everyone´s – universal sacred space - intersection of sets.

LOW ENERGY WOODEN HOUSE

The wooden house for two to four member family is designed to be economical energetically as well as in its volume. The concept reflects the orientation of the parcel and the interior is composed according to functional zoning. The main idea was to create a generous spaces of high quality keeping in mind simplicity of the construction in a small house (external dimensions 6x14m). The traditional forms make the house easy to situate anywhere in the country.

The main living area has south-western orientation and in summer it is possible to extend it onto the terrace. The space above half of it opens itself to the roof truss which gives the room airy and dignified ambience. For practical reasons in the area of the kitchen the ceiling height is standard. In the centre of the house there are the bathrooms and the techni-cal equipment. The children´s room is in the attic enlightened by two roof windows and one horizontal window on the floor lever from which even small children have a good view. The parents´ bedroom profits from two roof windows too and also is additionally enlightened by a window viewing the main living area. The corridor is used as a wardrobe. Next to the house there is a car- shelter and a shed for bikes and garden equipment.

The construction is wooden made of columns 60x120mm and OSB panels founded on thermally insulating foundations ISO-QUICK. The building is labeled with A energy consumption mark. It is insulated with mineral wool panels and equipped with triple glazing. To maximize the energetic profits there are also air recuperation and solar panels to heat water and air. The roof cover is made of titanium-zinc metal sheets which continue to create facing of the north wall of the house. The rest of facings are vertical larch planks.

academy of dance and music

New building in a historical city center is always a problem. This project was being created virtually step by step and is entirely based on analysis of the site. The position of the building on the triangular site emerged from the main visual axes and perspectives in order to preserve logic and tradi-tion of the existing building. In the obtained area the par-ticular volumes of different functions are situated so that the functions stay independent yet connected. The load-bearing construction is made of steel as primary and secondary spaceframe. The skin made of thin metal in raster of 2x2 meters inspired by traditional fittings and orna-ments of Marseille ensures comfortable interior environ-ment even with the generously glazed walls. The area accessible for public is directly connected to the administration of the academy, the theatre is in the base-ment, the vertical volume of the music department in the west creates a dialogue with the church towers and the dance department responds with its shape to other build-ings in the very neighborhood.

housing complex in venice

Before the four-day workshop a thorough excursion in the town of Venice was necessary. Our task was to design a housing complex on the island of Guidecca right next to very dense housing designed by Gino Valle. On the site there were remains of an old factory which would be completely cleared before the construction except for the high chimney which is an important landmark. To enlighten the dense building of Gino Valle we based our concept on three rows with descending number of floors towards the open sea. The infrastructure is according to local habits and traditions ensured by canals which provide private berths and separate the private gardens from public promenades.There are 50 apartments of types from two-room to five room ones. The private exterior space is essential- every flat has its own garden or terrace. The general raster is 5x11 m and all the apartments except for the two- room ones and the penthouses are maisonettes. The construction material is traditional brick and concrete of different colors for each type of flat. The public space creates a dialogue with the square in the neighboring housing. On the square there is the chimney in the axes of the spaces between houses and low building for services. The entire island is elevated 1,5 m above the normal sea level.

summer studios in verdure

The studios are situated in a steep narrow gorge along a seasonal creek on the unoccupied lots between public road on the top and a railway embankment. The connection between the studios is ensured by stairs and footbridges which also provide connection between the beach through the existing tunnel under-neath the embankment and the upper part of the town.There are four smaller studios for 10 people each and one bigger with bathrooms, kitchen and access for disabled. Connection between interior and exterior is essential therefore there is always a spacious ter-race around each studio and generously glazed sliding windows. Shade is provided by surrounding trees and inbuilt shades. The construction made of subtle steel columns is an-chored into the steep slope. The volume of the studio itself is made of wood. The stairs are made of galva-nized perforated metal and anchored into the slope either each step separately or as little staircases. The indoors equipment is multifunctional and flexible, adaptive for different kinds of activities starting with music workshops through many kinds of fine art to anonymous alcoholics´ sessions or movie nights.

low energy family house

COMpeTITION fOR lOw eNeRGy hOuS-ING ROCkhOuSe

with: Marek Matrtaj

The house is designed to profit maximally from contemporary modern technologies as well as from traditions proven by time. The form is based on the concept of Socrates´ house open to the South. The energetic economy of this concept is furthermore sup-ported by recessing part of the volume below the level of the ground in the North. except for the entrance in the North the house is open to the south only. The triple glazing provides maximum solar gains in winter and the shape shading in summer. It is labeled with the A energy consumption mark, and consumes 47 GJ of energy per year partially compensated by its solar system and under-ground air exchange system.

side entrance to the cultural centre la friche Belle de mai

with: Tomáš kozelský

In the area there are clubs, theaters, galleries, restaurants and offices. Whole place used to be brownfields right next to a railway cor-ridor. The level difference between the street and the entrances to the objects is 5 meters. To connect these two levels we created a system of cubes inspired by natural shapes of Giant Causeways in Northern Ireland. To bring life into this triangular space cramped be-tween two buildings one of them having no windows on this side we decided to let water run between the cubes. It brightens the place with reflections and pleasant burbling. To provide natural shade we preserved the three original plane trees.

luxury housing for a single man

The principal ideas of the project were to create a compact space with logically coherent functions and to profit from the orientation of the site on the south-facing slope and to erase boundaries between exterior and interior while preserving the inside privacy. Therefore the main housing volume is situated on the top of the entry floor with service rooms which is partially burried in the slope. This placement allowed to create a spacious green terrace – a simulation of garden which would be (considering the size and orientation of the site and the privacy demand) very hard to achieve.

Furhtermore I wanted to profit from the view of the city over the top of the hill in the north. This is possible by elevating the housing floor one meter higher. Thus I decided to elevate the bedroom as a glazed box slightly protracted outside the main volume. In order to preserve the complexity of the interior space and to add a bit of extravagancy the bedroom is fluently connected with the main living space by a generous staircase. The whole design should produce a harmoni-ous composition of volumes and colours on the exterior as well as in the interior.

reconversion of the military watchtower of the Brno arms factory

The main concept was to to create a clean interior with a cor-responding simple exterior that will complete the existing tower without suppressing its dominance. To support a spirit of traditional Japanese architecutre I based my design on basic geometric forms. To follow this idea I tried to reduce the number of different materi-als used and to avoid brick, which is specific for the volume of the tower itself. The spacious terrace is cantilevered over the river and it´s equiped with a few rostri in summer. under the roof but in the exterior right in front of the entrance there is also a little garden in the Japanese style. The goal was to create a space where it´s easy to breath, to feel, to think, to live, simply to be.

All the new constructions are made of wood. It is wooden space frame with fields 3 by 6 meters with wooden pillars 150x150milime-tres. The outer walls are of sandwich construction filled with mineral thermal insulation 250milimetres thick. The ceiling construction is made of wooden laminated beams with a layer of thermal insula-tion. Sliding woooden windows 3000 x3000 milimetres have double glazing. The podia are based on the principle of rostrum and the tatami is made of traditional natural materials. The interior of the tower itself provides several itimate tea rooms. The construction is made of six steel pillars of diametre of 120mm which support the wooden floor constructions of the tea rooms. Acces and the reinforcement of the construction is provided by a double helix of narrow staircases- each one way only.

hanging lamp

The lamp is inspired by transformation of natural ma-terials. In this case it´s water, natural paper, light and human body.

The prototype is made of plywood and pigmented linen. essentially the lamp is a luminous panel that can be hung in space thus dividing it. By using differ-ent colors various ambiences can be achieved. The prototype measures 1x 0.3 x 0.07 m.

a chair

The concept of the chair for the prussian court philosopher is inspired by his ascetical inclinations and by his sense of simple aesthetics and practicality. It is neither a leisure sofa nor a work chair. It is merely a materialization of kant´s phi-losophy, of his life attitude. The construction is made of welded stainless steel.
