VILLA PODOLI II

VILLA PODOLÍ R

RADAN HUBICKA ARCHITECTURAL STUDIO (AARH) as Architects

The villa is located in the residential quarter of Podolí on the north west slope with the panoramic view of the city and the River Vltava. This quarter became a popular residential place already at the beginning of the last century. In the vicinity, we also find the luxurious residences as well as functional villas from the 30s of the last century and naturally newer developments from the seventies and eighties. The house is located in the corner of the land plot and was designed at the same time as the second neighbouring house to the west. The mass of the building is located parallel to the road and consists of three glazed blocks that lie on each other in the same direction. The blocks have various lengths and differently shaped on the western side. The horizontal lines accentuate the layer features of both houses. The configuration of the landscape made it possible to set the basement in the slope. From the southern side, the building has three storeys and the main entrance is at ground floor level. The roof has a dwelling terrace for summer dwelling with panoramic views of Prague. The roof terrace is partially covered with a floating frame. This "fly bridge" refers to the tradition of of functionalism architecture, which is in the vicinity. The day zone is on the third storey, with the most beautiful views, the second storey houses the bedrooms and the ground floor houses the swimming pool with spa, with access to the garden.
