Familyhouse in Pardubice, Czech Republic by ZETTE ateliér sro

A lot situated inside the satellite area, surrounded by those “traditional” small houses. Those, whose investors wished something classical to fit well into the picture. A result? Typical village, anyway. The true is such the village is reminded by several fragments of original housing and full-grown trees. The new thing is something as a computer game, where a player puts into a grid an American dream of individual living. There are flat country meadows around the village where horse mane waves now and then. This idyll for the people of Pardubice, named Spojil, is closed to separate micro-world by surrounding forests, which cover up well a presence of industrial town.
Without any ambition to reverse a character of the street, I have put an archetype of the house with a saddle (span roof) and gable wall facing to the street. Among such buildings groping around, the gable is a stamp, theme which will be regarded all the time. This theme of a rural (country) house I re-interpreted as one with moved meaning. I cut the house using scissors carefully, just in the roof ridge. It is enough , not along the full length. One leg will follow one way, the other will turn somewhere else. The house opens in two wings demarcating an area with a swimming hole, to which house living parts are opening. A married couple whose children are already set out in the world, will live here. Perhaps, a young family with children will be here. Rooms are available.
