Textual content description offered by the architects. In the beginning there was a big plot on the outskirts of Bratislava, overlooking the forest. And in addition a big, rising household, with a want to reside in a brick home. Nonetheless, the orientation of the plot was tough, with new household homes rapidly rising up within the neighbourhood. So the concept of three large homes, interconnected by gentle, clear areas, arose. Thus, the solar and daylight will attain all of the rooms, and the household can have a way of privateness, even when the home stands in a built-up space.

Homes product of brickwork have an extended custom in our nation, they’re acquainted to us and we are able to simply get used to them. On this case, we mix the burnt brick with contrasting, clean surfaces, letting its distinctive texture stand out. Bricks on the façade, bricks on the pavement of terraces, bricks mirrored within the mirror, bricks on the windowsills and within the inside of the home. Bricks within the arch, bricks as a semi-transparent curtain in constructing openings. Brick permits us to experiment and use it in some ways.

Three large, brick-built homes take over varied applications. Within the largest, two-storey, we place a non-public zone – bedrooms and youngsters’s rooms. The spacious staircase has loads of daylight and thoughtfully positioned home windows, offering axial views to the backyard. The medium-sized home consists of a lounge with a double-sided hearth and {a partially} separated library. The lounge is elevated to let within the solar from the south-west via strip glazing underneath the ceiling. The smallest home stands on the entrance to the plot and creates a spot for vehicles and backyard service. 

Among the many brick homes we insert gentle, glazed areas, all the time accessible from either side. The smaller one varieties the doorway corridor, and the bigger one homes the primary residing house for a household of six – a kitchen with a eating room and a fire. The middle of life here’s a giant eating desk and two kitchen islands. Due to this non-standard kitchen format, dad and mom can have a greater view of either side of the property whereas cooking – to the northeast in direction of the pool, but additionally to the smaller southwest terrace. 

The positions of the home windows within the strong partitions are nicely thought out, we place them right here like work. The glazed areas, alternatively, are gentle, open buildings with concrete beamed ceilings that easily transition into the surface. A single axis stretches via all the home, linking all of the areas, with a fantastic view of the backyard.

The exterior partitions include brick, a thermal insulation layer of mineral wool and a ventilated air hole. The façade is product of Belgian Marziale face brick. All strengthened concrete ceilings combine a cooling system. Mixed with a warmth pump, air restoration and using a nicely for backyard wants, we create an ecological constructing, sustainable and environmentally pleasant.
