Students housing

Project idea

The intention of the project was to create small or weekend housing on parcels in the Cisarska louka area in Prague.

Project description

My proposal is about creating a living space for two people, that would meet the demands of more demanding modern living. At my disposal, I had a very limited building plot, that had access to the river, that made this place very interesting and luxurious. Due to the character of the place, I designed a building that has a closed look. To this purpose I designed a facade consisting of wooden slats. These lamellas continue through the windows and the observer has a problem from any angle to determine where the windows are located. On the terrace I designed a sliding wall made of the same wooden slats that acts as a shading element. Its complete pulling closes the object for everyone around.

Technical information

It is a two-storey building that extends over a larger part of its ground plan above the river. On the first floor there is a hall, hygienic background, a technical room and a living room connected with a kitchen corner and a dining room. From this space is available acces to the outdoor terrace. The second floor is dedicated to a dormitory of users with a working corner
