The House at the Junction was designed on a small urban plot in Czeladź. A distinctive feature of this location is its direct adjacency to the eastern boundary of the city park—one of the largest green areas within Czeladź. The proximity of the plot to the park's lush greenery became the starting point for the project's genesis.
The goal was to create a house maximally open to nature, with a form that would not dominate but rather blend into the greenery adjacent to the plot. On the other hand, the House at the Junction is situated on an urban plot, so its form needed to integrate into the residential district of Czeladź. The design premise, therefore, became finding the appropriate balance and symbiosis between the architecture of the house as a human creation and greenery as the living world. However, it is the latter element of the site's context that constitutes the plot's advantage.
The location of the designed building was determined along the western boundary of the plot, freeing up as much area as possible in its eastern part, thus allowing for the organization of a garden. The space formed between the house and the park is the interface between two worlds: built structures and greenery. This space is also extremely important from the perspective of the daily life of the house's residents. The living area is organized adjacent to it in the functional layout. Although the House at the Junction is a human creation, based on an orthogonal spatial layout, its form on the garden side is shaped by organic lines. The concavity of the garden-facing elevation indicates which world at their junction—human-geometric or living-organic—prevails on the designed plot. Nature somewhat imprints itself on the structure of the house, altering its geometry, clearly indicating that architecture adapts and yields in the hierarchy of importance to the living world. This is a kind of symbol that architecture should adapt to the surrounding greenery, not the other way around. The project thus emphasizes the invaluable value of greenery in the city. The curvature of the elevation and the wall of park greenery enclose the garden on two sides, creating an intimate space for living amidst nature.
The House at the Junction is a single-story building with a driveway and entrance area open to the road on the access side. The remaining part of the plot, ensuring the residents' privacy, is separated by a wall of varying height: high on the road side, lowering towards the park greenery. This design ensures privacy from the built environment and views from the park side. From the driveway, one can access the garage or the vestibule. Near the entrance are a study, kitchen, and a block with a bathroom, utility room, and pantry. From the hallway, one enters the dining and living area, which, thanks to openings on both sides, receives optimal lighting from both the east and west. A second study and the night zone with a bedroom and bathroom are accessible from the living area. The studies, kitchen, dining room, and living room all open maximally to the garden and greenery.
An important aspect of the project was shaping the interior space of the house. Individual rooms in the living area are arranged along the eastern elevation, providing them with views of the park's greenery. The kitchen and the study accessible from the living room are separated by transparent glass partitions, ensuring the most panoramic view of the greenery from the living area. Light plays a significant role in the House at the Junction project. The glass partitions separating individual living rooms and the creation of a living room with a dining area open to both the east and west provide an optimal amount of light throughout the house.
The interior of the house was designed in a minimalist style, dominated by white walls corresponding with the building's facade. Elements that add warmth include walls and furniture made of larch wood, referencing the trees growing along the shared boundary of the plot and the park.
