The site where the Carriage House is now located
Košíře, was defined in the thesis as a geometric and urban centre of gravity. To this place we have
approached it as a local center and tried to
to define what the center of such an area
needs. I decided to approach the depot building
to add a simple shape, housing. The design responds to the A69 proposal. It does not agree with the creation
an L-shaped plaza around the depot,
which would be converted into a market. Maintains-
retains the depot as a workshop and centre for apprentices.
The slender shape of the house together with the carriage house creates
an alleyway that connects the community life of the house,
commercial spaces and workshops. All functions are
intertwine and co-exist in a single line. The carriage house
I'm clearing it of its accretions and creating a face
facing the newly created plaza, which has
a clearly defined and legible square compared to the planned one. The other face is the new house
with an outside staircase. The other two faces are
are bordered by greenery that blocks the busy road.
The collective housing consists of large
cluster flats with rentable individual rooms. All apartments on the floors
are connected via a conservatory, and the residents
can moderate the size of the units and
visit and help each other. Full
The whole building is connected via the south pavilion with an exterior staircase. The concept of the apartments is based
based on two references: the first one by Peter
Märkli, a semi-detached house with a central fireplace that
reminded me of Henri Matisse's painting Dance.The occupant of the apartment circulates the central column, in my
case, a closet set with a hidden bathroom
and the kitchen, and it's like dancing.
The idea of Koldom
"The collective house (Koldům) as a distinctive building type is the result of the work of a left-wing architects and social demand in the first half of the 20th century. It is a utopian vision, based on the idea of social engineering, which sought to transform society into a collectivism. All the functions that humans need were to be concentrated in the collective houses. to live, in a single object. The koldoms were thus to include not only housing, but also all amenities, including nurseries, canteens and leisure facilities. The first koldom built in Czechoslovakia was the Collective house in Zlín by architect J. Voženílek. The largest The biggest realization was the Collective House in Litvínov."
