This project stands out for its striking elegance and exceptionally professional presentation. The "money shot" render is particularly captivating—it perfectly captures the serene, sculptural character of the house while maintaining a high level of realism and atmosphere. The visual composition of your boards, combined with the well-curated color palette, feels both luxurious and inviting, echoing the calming essence you described in your design concept. Every element, from diagram to final render, is beautifully orchestrated.
Your design statement is both thoughtful and poetic. The way you describe the house as a carved sculpture—sharp in form yet soft in experience—resonates clearly throughout the visual and spatial experience of the proposal. The integration of nature through the internal atrium, in particular, reinforces this sense of quiet retreat, offering both visual greenery and emotional balance to the built space. It’s a compelling response to the site’s sloped terrain and proximity to urban life.
What also deserves strong praise is the architectural planning. The layout demonstrates a clear understanding of user comfort and spatial fluidity. Each zone—from the private rooms to the open living areas—feels intuitively arranged, promoting a seamless daily routine. The detailing in your floorplans supports that narrative, showing technical finesse and attention to materials, structural systems, and spatial relationships. The use of sustainable design features, such as the green roof and photovoltaic system, enriches the home’s long-term livability and resilience.
Thank you, Nicole Ammerová, and congratulations on your impressive entry to the Inspireli Competition. Your work is a standout example of how contemporary architecture can be both refined and emotionally grounded. It’s a promising blend of design sophistication and heartfelt storytelling—an outstanding achievement that reflects a deep understanding of space, material, and atmosphere.
