Rodinný dom Levice

Project idea

Design of a family house with a contemporary gabled form combining wood cladding and rendered facades.

Project description

The project presents a family house featuring a traditional gabled roof silhouette reinterpreted with modern materials. The design combines timber cladding on the ground floor with light-colored rendered walls on the upper level. Large glazed openings and an asymmetric roof with a prominent dormer window provide natural light and visual interest. The house is set within a landscaped environment with mature trees.

Technical information

The family house in Levice is designed as a highly efficient, nearly zero-energy building (NZEB) within the A0 energy class. The primary structural system consists of 300 mm thick precision ceramic masonry blocks (Termobrik Supra Plus 300 PD), which provide excellent natural heat accumulation and structural stability. To ensure superior thermal performance, the envelope is insulated with a 150 mm layer of Isover EPS 150 S, achieving an impressive thermal resistance value of R = 6.73m2*K/W. The roof structure combines a traditional timber truss gabled roof covered with Tondach ceramic tiles and insulated with dual-layer Knauf mineral wool, alongside a flat roof over the garage designed as a green, walkable terrace. Inside, vertical circulation is secured by a robust monolithic reinforced concrete staircase. The building's advanced energy ecosystem relies on triple-glazed window units, a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (HRV), an air-to-water heat pump for underfloor heating, and a roof-mounted photovoltaic array.
