Family House With Atrium / SENAA architekti

The investors bought a relatively small sloping lot with a view of Palava hills. The assignment for the architects was quite simple: “A family house if you are able to fit anything on this lot.” The house is part of a newly-built street on the edge of a small Moravian village. The new development doesn’t take into account the traditional row design of local villages. Houses here are not attached, without any unifying feature; they mutually don’t respect roof ridge or roof pitch. The challenge was to design contemporary living in a village neighborhood consisting primarily of “catalog” houses. The architecture design reflects the morphology of the terrain.
