House Z by Closer Architects
This futuristic two-story residence located in Prague, Czech republic, was designed by Closer Architects.
Description by Closer Architects
The Villa ?Z? was designed on a south sloping plot in a residential part of Prague, Czech Republic. The property is quite small–about 650 square meters. There are walls of the neighbor’s houses on the south and east borders. On the west side there is a house just 2,5 meters from the property line. Its windows are right on the facade facing the client?s house. On the positive side there is 10 meters of space from the road on the north, which makes the plot optically bigger. A major requirement of the client was to design the best house with a maximum of 350 m2 of living area which included four bedrooms, a garage, living rooms, spa etc. These limitations were the most significant in designing the concept for the house. There are neighbors on the east and west sides close to the property, who can watch what is happening on the site what we wanted to get rid of. This inspired us to design the house to be open to south and within itself using a central patio in the second floor. This takes advantage of the nice south view to the hills and a scenic forest on the horizon. On the south sides, we made all the living areas with private terraces which are always hidden or somehow covered from the view of neighbors. Other facades are using just wide narrow windows on the top of the rooms to bring light in...
