Residential house Hlubocepy

The site is located in the district of Prague 5 - Hlubočepy, in an environment that connects natural and historical elements. In the south there is a forest, the Dalejský brook flows from the east, the railway line of the Prague Semmering winds in the west and the Hlubočepský Chateau stands in the north. The access road leads from the north-eastern part.

The proposed buildings respect the character of the surrounding buildings and follow the original street line. In shape and scale they are based on the historic buildings and complete the form of the cul-de-sac on the edge of Hlubočepi. The plot is situated in a quiet position on a slope covered with greenery, which is also a pedestrian connection to the residential part of Hlubočep. The design locates this path to create views of the historic railway viaduct. The path is landscaped and complemented by a terraced staircase with seating and lighting.

The proposed buildings are divided into two masses that follow the contours and plan of the original buildings. Their height does not exceed that of the Hlubočep Chateau. The houses have gabled roofs made of grey sheet metal and their eastern facades facing the Vltava valley are complemented by horizontally articulated balconies. The west side facing the forest offers front gardens. The design of the facades combines light plaster, dark grey window frames and textured surfaces, complemented by greenery interspersed with gabion baskets. The common garden is planted with shrubs and trees, while paved areas and greenery connect the surroundings of the garages.
