7-bedroom family house

After an initial site survey and consultation with the client, we decided to change the layout to suit their specific needs. We added longitudinal windows to the kitchen and hallway. The longitudinal window above the kitchen countertop is a very popular feature in Scandinavia and adds a unique character to the kitchen.

The insulation of the house was also a major change. The original project envisaged internal insulation, which we changed to a more efficient solution and added modern technology. All these changes meant redoing the complete project documentation, applying for a change of construction before completion at the building authority and obtaining a new building permit.

The entire administrative process took one year - from the new design, to the preparation of the project documentation, to the submission to the authorities and the building authority, to the issuance of the approval opinion. After that, nothing prevented the completion of the entire construction.

The house concept is divided into four main zones. The first zone consists of the main living room area with the kitchen. The second zone is located in the southern part with the master bedroom and a large separate bathroom. The third zone consists of a long corridor in the western part that connects all the other rooms - two children's rooms, two study rooms, another bathroom, a toilet, a utility room and closets. The fourth zone includes a back room with a garage, a place for technology and also a heated and illuminated dog kennel.

The interior of the whole house was designed in Scandinavian style. The basic colour combination consists of oak, white and grey tones. Thanks to the large windows in all rooms, you are in constant contact with the outdoors and the transition between inside and outside is almost imperceptible.

The centrepiece of the house is the spacious living room with kitchen. We managed to incorporate all the client's requirements - a spacious kitchen with an island and integrated wine cellar, a large dining table for 10 people for gathering with family and friends, and a living area with a sofa, entertainment centre and fireplace for relaxing after work.

Due to the size of the house, we placed all the storage spaces in separate closets so that they did not need to be integrated into individual rooms. If there is enough space, this is the cleanest and most practical design solution, as it preserves the airiness and openness of the rooms themselves.

One of the client's key requirements was to create a house that was as self-sufficient as possible and met the latest sustainability standards. Modern technologies such as a ground-source heat pump, Loxone smart home and solar panels were integrated into the house.

Given the client's enthusiasm for every technical detail, we tried to come up with a number of details that would delight him in the daily use of the house. For example, the kitchen island integrates "invisible" controls for Loxone technology. This button has all the electronics hidden under the ceramic kitchen countertop and is milled right into it.

Another amazing feature is the glass partition between the parents' bedroom and the bathroom. This partition is fitted with blackout glass, providing both a beautiful view from the bedroom to the bathroom and privacy as needed.
