Context of the site
The plot where the building is located lies on the outskirts of the village of Kuklice.
It is situated at the end of the development line, offering a stunning view of Mount Ślęża and the surrounding farmland. This breathtaking landscape was one of the key factors influencing the design and appearance of the building.
Building Form
A single-family, two-story residential building with an uninhabitable attic has been designed. The building is topped with a gable roof without eaves, finished with galvanized standing seam metal in graphite color. The building’s gable wall is oriented towards the public road. The main body of the building has an L-shaped floor plan, with two stories, covered by a symmetrical gable roof with evenly pitched roof slopes.In the two-story part of the building, which houses the garage, technical rooms, and bedrooms on the upper floor, the walls of the ground floor are set back from the upper floor walls. The ground floor walls of this section are dark, contrasting with the white walls of the rest of the building. The gable wall of the upper floor is slightly tilted relative to the ground floor, creating a sense of dynamism, as if the part of the building is emerging towards the viewer, turning towards the view of the mountain.The second part of the building, which contains the two-story living room with an open kitchen and dining area, is visually connected to the landscape, with large glazing opening up onto the terrace, garden, and surrounding views.
Technology
The building structure was designed as masonry with reinforced concrete elements. The roof truss of the building’s longer wing is made of prefabricated trusses, while the shorter wing uses a traditional rafter and collar beam system. Energy-efficient technologies and eco-friendly materials have been utilized. The building is equipped with a heat pump (water-source), mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and a ground heat exchanger, a rainwater harvesting system, a domestic wastewater treatment plant, and solar panels.
