Article source: Compass Atelier Due to the specific site configuration, entrance level of House A is situated 1.2 meters above the entrance to House B. Double garage, guest room and a bathroom were fitted into the basement floor, carefully managing the daylight conditions.
The entrance, generous living space, kitchen and dining are situated on the ground floor. The kitchen is directly linked to terrace in the garden. The living area is dominated by a central staircase with a built-in fire place. The internal space is used at its maximum. The sofa in the living room works for two sides – as a comfortable seating place in the dining room, but on the other hand also as a classical sofa with a chaise longue turned towards the screen. Since it has no walls, the living space seems to be optically higher, though it has a standard ceiling height – 2.7 m. The first floor offers three bedrooms, one bathroom and a large closet. The roof terrace placed over the first floor opens up impressive views of Bratislava. At the beginning, we found 660 square meters site in close proximity to forest with a beautiful view of Bratislava. The challenge was to fit in two separate family houses with gardens. Moreover, the site has slight elevation differences. The site was divided into two equal parts, 330 meters for house. Both buildings have very similar basic floor plans and layout; on the other hand each house is different. The clients had very various priority lists, which resulted in individual architecture of each house. Contact Compass Atelier
