The Apartment block Novolisenska

This bachelor thesis deals with the design of a new "viladum" (a smaller apartment building with a higher standard of living) in Brno Líšeň. The work is based on a previously developed architectural study developed within the course AG32. "Viladum" usually referres to as older urban villas, which have been converted to host more housing units. Today this is a very comfortable and desirable form of housing. The topic of the thesis was to create a design of a smaller apartment house, typologically emerging from the "viladum". The proposed building has one underground and three above-ground floors. Each of the above floors contains one dwelling unit. The proposal uses the height difference on the site to create a ramp for vehicles in the basement where garages are located. The volume and location of the house on the parcel is mainly based on the limits given by the development plan. The house was deliberately designed with a higher standard of living. From the elevator you can enter directly into the apartments. The ground floor apartment is completed with a garden, an apartment on the third floor, southwest oriented to the terrace. The south and east side of the apartments are illuminated by French windows and balconies. The building meets the requirements for low-energy buildings according to ČSN 73 0540-2: 2011. The basement consists of a monolithic reinforced concrete structure made of waterproof concrete on the principle of "white bathub". Above-ground floors are made of porous concrete blocks combined with monolithic reinforced concrete ceilings. The roof is designed as a green roof
