a household home in hlubočepy
RO_aR Architects, led by Szymon Rozwalka, have designed a surprising Household Home in Hlubočepy, Czech Republic, which is ready to develop into a novel architectural landmark inside its residential context. The home is located on the border of two contrasting worlds — the city and the pure — with the Dalejský Brook ‘bio-corridor’ on one facet and a sprawl of city growth on the opposite.
The design of the home is a direct response to this context, aiming to seamlessly lengthen the pure environment into the inside areas whereas creating a definite separation from the city setting. The home is envisioned as an summary physique that harmonizes with the encompassing rocks within the background, making a harmonious visible distinction.

The crew at RO_aR Architects notes that one of many key challenges within the design course of was to make sure correct pure illumination of the interiors, whereas navigating the problem of the slender entrance and the neighboring constructing’s ‘problematic location’ on the southern boundary of the location. From the beginning, the architects conceived a constructing that integrated land deformation, easily transitioning from the pure slope on the north-west facet into a synthetic hill beneath which the home can be nestled. The south-eastern facet of the hill was to be undercut, creating an entrance patio with a unique rectangular geometry.

Resulting from finances constraints, RO_aR Architects was referred to as to reimagine this preliminary design, considerably cutting down its imaginative and prescient. The crew took a daring strategy, instantly slicing away ‘pointless’ components. ‘Such a intentionally primitive and direct cut-off has in locations resulted in surprisingly good results, somewhere else the impact was worse,’ write the architects. Regardless of these challenges, the inside areas, which had been initially designed to replicate the conflict between natural and rectangular geometries, remained largely unaffected.
The Household Home in Hlubočepy by RO_AR Architects guarantees to be a novel work of structure that, with its pared-back timber facade, seamlessly blends with its pure environment whereas standing out as a definite kind within the city context. The modern design strategy and the cautious consideration of the location’s challenges show the crew’s dedication to creating significant areas that push the boundaries of design.
