The building consists of two blocks. The higher one with a pitched roof and the lower one with a flat roof. The design brief corresponded in some ways to the guidelines for a single-storey house. The owners wanted to locate the main living areas on the ground floor. However, due to the rather small size of the plot, it made sense to locate some of the rooms on the first floor. In order to preserve the 'ground floor' feeling of the building for the owners, mainly the children's rooms were designed on the ground floor. Thus, for the adults living in the house, functioning could be limited to the ground floor only, while the children, whose rooms are upstairs, perceive the house as a storey.
The building consists of two crossed volumes forming an L-shape in plan. The two-storey part with a pitched roof located in the north-east corner of the plot houses the living zone with maximum glazing on the ground floor facing south with a view of the plot. It is adjoined by a terrace on the south and west sides which, after opening a glazed sliding door, connects with the living room and dining room creating one large leisure space.
The main feature of the single-storey house is, of course, its low height. This assumption also guided the design of the building. In order to ensure that the first floor, with its rather high roof, did not excessively enlarge the building, it was located above the utility area. Rooms such as the boiler room, garage or laundry room could be lower than the rest of the ground floor.
Another big plus of this layout is that the height of the two-storey part of the building can be lowered. As a result, the higher part does not significantly dominate the ground floor. The layout, inspired by the investor's guidelines, makes it possible to create high utility rooms on the ground floor and low technical rooms, while creating very high spaces on the first floor. This project is a good example of very good cooperation between the architects and the investor, who managed to create a very interesting and clever building structure.
The house has a very large terrace. Partly with a full canopy, partly uncovered and in the third part with beams to protect from the sun. It is a significant space set apart in the single-storey white block of the house. It is large enough to be accessible from practically every accessible part of the ground floor. The life of the house takes place "along" the terrace.
