This blueprint respects and derives benefit from the steep land, smoothly dividing two different worlds – the city and the landscape. The lenghtwise mass, presenting terraced estate, closes the gardens of current houses on Pastviny street. It creates imaginary entry into a free landscape. There are detached houses ascending freely towards the woods. They are rotated in the line with centerlines, which are made by current build-up area. The whole concept of terraced houses is based on the motif of bay, which also appears in apartment blocks. It is inserted in the space between houses, therefore there is a view from the first floors into the garden through a glassed-in dining room. The contact among the street, house and garden is made. The complex consists of six detached apartment blocks with fifty five flats and shared underground parking lot. Apartment blocks are divided into two hives, counting three blocks each. Almost every flat has at least one private outdoor space – front garden, loggia or terrace. The main idea behind this blueprint is the turning of the entry doors towards the common outdoor area, where people could meet. All the blocks could interact with each other thanks to this area. Loggias, bow-windows and terraces placed vertically on exterior of the blocks allow the view of surrounding landscape. These components appear couple of times in this complex and they make the whole mass more plastic. They enliven it. The surrounding of the apartment blocks is filled with green vegetation.
