Villa apartment in Masaryk district

The subject of this bachelor thesis is the design of HR villa house in Masaryk's’ district, Brno. The Masarykova čtvrť (original name of this part) is characterized by its historical and functionalist development, with villas of Brno factory workers and German officials, remaining small garden city. In the surroundings, we can find buildings from architects such as Ernst Wiesner or Bohuslav Fuchs. Strong genius loci, corner location of the plot and the views from the north-facing slope were a key to the concept of my design. Main idea is to create residential with a higher standard of the current requirements of living, while at the same time, it's mass and the material solution will complement the character of the surrounding development. HR villa house is a four-storey building with a sloped 4th floor and a rounded corner complemented by bay windows. The shape of the building was created in response to neighbouring semi-detached houses. Its shape complements the imaginary curve, which is created as a connection of these objects. There is 1 housing unit on each floor. Moreover, apartment on the first floor has own adjacent garden. The common roof terrace offers not only views of Brno, but also supports community activities of the residents
