This project presents an innovative approach to terraced housing, thoughtfully integrating architectural design with the natural landscape of Brno-Líšeň. Departing from conventional block-like structures, the design employs trapezoidal prisms to create dynamic forms that enhance both aesthetic appeal and functional living spaces.
The development comprises six terraced houses strategically positioned to offer unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. Each house features large-format windows on three sides, maximizing natural light and providing a strong visual connection to the outdoors. The orientation and window placement vary across floors to optimize sunlight exposure and privacy.
Sustainable design principles are evident throughout the project. Vegetated roofs and wooden paneling not only contribute to the visual harmony with nature but also enhance thermal performance. The use of ceramic blocks and reinforced concrete ensures structural integrity, while underfloor heating powered by a heat pump promotes energy efficiency.
Interior spaces are designed with a light color palette, creating a sense of openness and tranquility. Contrasting darker furniture elements add depth and sophistication to the living areas. Each house includes a private garage and additional parking space, catering to practical needs without compromising the overall design coherence.
Overall, "Terraced Houses in Brno-Líšeň" exemplifies a harmonious blend of modern architectural innovation and environmental sensitivity. Its thoughtful design and sustainable features set a commendable precedent for future residential developments.
