Hlinky Town House in the Old Brno district

The topic of this bachelor thesis is the design of a town house in a gap on street Hlinky. The site is located in Staré Brno. The site has an important location - the foot of the Yellow Hill, near Brněnské výstaviště. The site is a narrow rectangle with a shorter side facing the street. It is accessible from only one side. Current usage is for three automobile garages, but is mostly unused. Retaining wall crossing site, stops the slope from the north side. The designed object responds to its location with a mass and spatial solution. It tries to fill in broken street line, connects the two adjacent buildings. In terms of height, the building creates a slight local height dominant, but suppresses its height by gradual pushing in of the top floors and their material differentiation. This also reflects the usage layout of the floors. The building uses the whole site. Functionally, the building is designed as a mixed-use house with a predominant administrative function, and the secondary component is permanent housing, namely two apartments. The building thus respects the existing master plan. One of the design's priorities was natural lighting. The site allows sun tho pass to the building only from the southern and northern side. This fact was key to the mass and layout design. The layout consists of a closed narrow strip where stairs, elevator and sanitary facilities are located and an open space with a glass façade on both sides. All rooms which require daylight the most and do not prevent light from reaching central part of layout are located on the southern façade
