Social housing, Brno

This bachelor‘s thesis is based on a project created at the studio AG 32. The task is the project of social housing for a Romany ethnic group. The project seeks to respect the specifics of a Romany housing, especially the high number of family members. Location of the project is in Brno – Maloměřice, near the river Svitava, at the end of an area of family houses. The project is composed of 13 family houses, grouped into duplexes and one group of three houses. Housing is complemented by public spaces, such as small parks or playgrounds. The duplexes are chosen as a compromise between the requirement of high utilization of the land and the aim to respect the character of the surrounding buildings. All the houses have the same layout. According to the changes caused by different position, the houses are divided into the house “A“, house “B“ and house “C“. House “A“, which is in the south-eastern corner of the complex, is the subject of this bachelor’s thesis. The houses have two floors. The houses are oriented from the east to the west. The layout of the houses is a longitudinal three-tract. There is a corridor in the middle of the house and the bedrooms are on the east side and on the west side of the house. The house is meant for a family of 12 members (parents and a high number of children). There are several bedrooms, one living room, bathroom and toilet in each floor. Considering the social aspect of this housing, there is only one kitchen in the house, which is situated in the second floor
