House V

The linear massing and facade of the house reflect the traditional rural development typical of the outskirts of Bratislava.

House V is built on the site of the original house, the traditional grey masonry gives the
main character expression to the interior. The plan arrangement is
inspired by a three-part Slovak house where the central space
becomes the so-called "pitvor" – a front hall of the house oriented
onto the garden, which is its inseparable part. A significant
structural element is also the shaping of the roof truss, allowing in
eastern light though skylights and thus respecting the continuous
roof massing visible from the garden.

The goal was to fulfill needs of client and built house which is typical for that environment.

The main materials were used traditional grey masonry, glass and wooden roof truss.
