Project overview
Private project of above-standard housing of one family on a slope, in a satellite of the East Slovak town of Kosice.The building is brick, two-storey with the division of the house into night and day part. The gallery in the living area opens to a view of the garden and the sun. The mass of the building copies the terrain of the slope and reacts with its fragmentation. Today’s living for modern people.
Project history
I think this project is interesting because of its setting in the hillside, the mass that winds around the two atriums and the story of its creation. Originally it was not a hillside villa project at all, but a standard project from a catalogue of houses called Black and White, based on the colours of its facades. But the client who approached us had a request, due to the atypical land he owned, that I modify the flat project and set it into the slope and also that I turn the layout upside down, namely the entrance to the house he wanted to place on the upper floor since there was a street, not to leave the entrance to the house on the ground floor as the house was originally designed. We also added a double garage on the upper floor, but the living area remained on the ground floor with access to the terrace and garden. Also the colour scheme of the house black and white was reflected on the facades but also in the whole interior of the building. This solution supported the project visually.
