A modern family house situated in a newly developing neighborhood of Nové Zámky, designed with emphasis on optimal orientation, sufficient living spaces, and quality private exterior areas.
The plot is situated in a newly developing quarter of Nové Zámky intended for individual housing construction. The designed family house respects the character of the surrounding development and is placed with emphasis on optimal orientation toward cardinal directions, sufficient sunlight penetration of living spaces, and creation of quality private exterior amenities. It is a new construction of a detached two-story family house intended for permanent residence of one family. The layout conveniently separates day and night zones. The first floor contains the entrance area, technical facilities, and an open social space with kitchen, dining room, and living room connected to terraces. The second floor houses the private section with bedroom, children's room, bathroom, and workspace. The architectural solution derives from a concept of simple cubic volumes with a dominant two-story section with sloped roof and ground-level volumes with green roofs. A detached double garage is connected to the main building via a covered communication element. The facade uses a combination of wooden cladding and large-format glazed surfaces, giving the building a modern and timeless character.
The structural and technical design of the building is based on a masonry construction system founded on strip foundations made of plain concrete, with a foundation depth of 1,200 mm and a width of 600 mm. The load-bearing external walls are constructed from Porotherm 30 T Profi ceramic blocks and insulated with an Isover EPS GreyWall external thermal insulation system. Horizontal load-bearing structures are designed as monolithic reinforced concrete slabs. The roofing system consists of a combination of a collar-beam pitched roof structure and flat extensive green roofs. The ground floor slab is designed as a reinforced concrete slab placed on XPS thermal insulation and incorporates an underfloor heating system. All external building envelope components have been designed in accordance with the requirements of the passive energy standard, with particular emphasis on minimizing thermal bridges and ensuring high energy efficiency of the building.
