SVETICE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

The logic urban parameters dictate that the building should be separated from the immediate surroundings, oriented optimally in relation to the environment, and guided by the form factor as the basis of sustainable construction, thus a compact structure was chosen as a unique volume in the immediate context. The floor plan was translated towards the western side (regulatory direction), i.e. towards the northern view. The volume is treated as a strict geometric form – a cuboid that is hollowed out on the ground floor at the entrance to the building.

The distinction of the lower part of the building from the upper levels is emphasized by the changed typology of the openings. The uniform repetition of windows and niches turns into continuous rows of full and empty surfaces, drawn in, or retained on the basic perimeter of the facade. Equally, diversity is manifested in the structure of solid surfaces. The structure covered with facade bricks is continued with a sheet-structured cladding made of corrugated sheet in a lighter tone.
