Single-family house in Bohumilec, Czech Republic by Mimosa architects

Article source: Mimosa architects

Single-family house for a family of four into the surrounding of the small village Bohumileč in Pardubice region. Volume solution of the house comes out of the form of the rustic house with a saddle roof. Volume and material simplicity join the house with its natural and urban framework. The building “seeks to be” an unobtrusive, but after all expressive “resident” of the place. The motto of rural simplicity and severity infiltrate into the house from the ground substance to the detail.

The south orientation of the building along with the east-west direction of the view into the countryside defines the axes, which the groundplan of the house is based on. The east – west axis divides the house into the southern living and northern service wing of the house. The building is embodied into “microworld” of the lot at the end of the village. The lot is surrounded with a barrier of full-grown trees.

Rooms with the southern orientation, staircase hall with the carrel with the view of the countryside are situated in the first floor, the bathroom and the lavatory are in the northern part. The wooden husk of the house hides the interior in white colours. Colourfulness of the house steps back the colourfulness of the surrounding green. The colours of the surroundings infiltrate the house and change it during the seasons.
