The house is situated in a residential area of detached houses at the edge of Dolany. The house fits with its shape and scale into the surrounding development. It contains two masses – the main volume of the house with a double sloped roof and a smaller object with a flat green roof that contains offices.

The design of the disposition is based on clients’ requirements. The ground floor contains the main living area that consists of a living room, kitchen and a family room. The private zone of the house is situated on the first floor and consists of a parents’ bedroom, children’s bedroom, children’s day room and sanitary facilities.

The house itself is a wooden structure. During the design and the construction process the main emphasis was placed on the solution of technical details and a careful selection of materials. Along with aesthetic and construction requirements the house had to be designed as a low-energy house. That was achieved by selecting appropriate construction methods, materials and also by using technologies such as forced ventilation with recuperation and a heat pump.
