Design of a family house as part of an architectural studio project.
A family house project developed at the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. The project is part of the B1-AT1 studio course.
The load-bearing system of the building is designed as a wall system, consisting of masonry structures made of precision blocks (or ceramic blocks). The ceiling structure above the first floor (ground floor) is designed as a monolithic reinforced concrete slab, which provides the necessary rigidity and acoustic attenuation between floors. The roofing of the building is realized in the form of a sloped roof structure, which respects the surrounding development and the climatic conditions of the locality. Thermal protection of the building is ensured by a certified external insulation system. The thickness and quality of the building envelope insulation are designed so that the building meets strict regulatory requirements for the energy performance of buildings and minimizes heating costs. The overall solution guarantees optimal thermal stability of the interior in both winter and summer periods.
