Family House

This two-storey family house, with 106 m² of usable floor area on the ground floor, was designed for a settlement in the Pilis agglomeration. Its T-shaped composition is formed by the joined volumes of the house and the carport, set on the side boundary of the plot: the house has a pitched roof with gable ends, while the carport has a low-pitched roof. The main aim of the floor plan was to make the kitchen, dining and living space as large as possible and to give it the best position, close to the garden with a view of the back garden. Alongside the central living functions, the ground floor also accommodates three bedrooms, two bathrooms and service rooms. The house adapts to the clients' needs: while the children are small, the family lives on the ground floor only, and later, as the children grow up, the attic level can also be brought into use. When placing the pantry, we took into account the conditions for fitting a staircase later. The general ceiling height is 2.70 m, rising to 4.20 m where the ceiling opens up above the living and dining area. We aimed to preserve a human scale and traditional proportions, with simple materials and earth tones: dark brown timber surfaces, windows, doors and roofing also in brown, light brown brick cladding and off-white facade render.
