Family house in Prague - Šárecké údolí
Idea projektu
he aim of this project was to create a high-quality architectural design for a family house sensitively integrated into the natural landscape of the Šárecké Valley in Prague. The main concept of the house is based on making full use of the views and sightlines offered by the plot. Every living space thus provides unique views — whether into the valley or the surrounding nature. The house is designed using high-quality, durable materials, with respect for sustainable building principles and energy efficiency. The proposal focuses on creating a material-friendly and spatially functional layout with a strong emphasis on the connection between interior and exterior spaces.
Popis projektu
The subject of this thesis is the development of an architectural study and project documentation for the planning permission of a construction proposal, prepared in accordance with applicable legislation. The project concerns a sloping plot located in the Šárka Valley on Pokojná Street. The site offers attractive views into the valley and a southeast orientation. The investors are a married couple with two children. The design responds to the exceptional character of the location and aims to harmoniously connect the interior with the exterior while maintaining privacy. The house is conceived as a space for the everyday life of a four-member family, combining practicality with a calm and inspiring environment. The house’s form is primarily influenced by the views, the slope of the terrain, surrounding natural features, and orientation to the cardinal directions. The zoning of the house is supported by the articulation of the building’s massing and the placement of the private zone on the second floor. The result is a distinctive home that is sensitively inte - grated into the unique landscape of the Šárka Valley.
Technické informace
The house is structurally designed as a wall system consisting of sand-lime masonry and monolithic reinforced concrete walls founded on strip footings. Horizontal structures are selected based on the specific spatial requirements: in the ground floor (1st above-ground level), due to the complexity of the layout, a monolithic reinforced concrete slab is used. To maintain both economic and material efficiency, the remaining horizontal structures with larger spans utilize precast prestressed hollow-core concrete panels. The thermal insulation envelope is composed of a combination of insulation materials, selected based on their technical and economic advantages. EPS, XPS, PIR, and mineral wool are used accordingly. The waterproofing envelope is predominantly composed of PVC-P membrane waterproofing systems. As a result, all construction materials are chosen with regard to their technical, economic, and environmental benefits.
