South Moravian Village House by ORA; Czech Republic
We began by exploring the concept of a contemporary Moravian village. Today, the definition of a rural house in Czechia seems to be ambiguous. Within a village, nobody pays attention to the historical and settlement context anymore. We think that Czech and Moravian village experiences one of the largest urban planning crises in history. Our aim was to show that a country house should not act as an urban
Family House in Zámecká by Mimosa architekti; Czech Republic
As designed, the house purposefully uses the whole surface of the plot of approximately 240 sqm size. It opens itself into an intimate courtyard contained in low walls made of local limestone and bricks. The living room and the „atelier“ are connected to both the courtyard and an external staircase rising to a generously proportioned terrace and a bedroom situated on the 2nd floor. The interior of the house

The design team’s previous experiences with
The House by the Park, Vienna
The building illustrates its prominent urban location at Helmut-Zilk-Park via a highpoint on its corner. This staggered height awards the house a significant appearance whilst simultaneously optimising the incidence of light to neighbouring buildings as well as its own atrium. Typologically, the building incorporates the characteristics of the old town houses which allow for a variety of uses. The deliberately public ground floor - housing a dance studio -
House with a View by Attila KIM • Architects; Romania
The house is situated on a picturesque hill of the Transylvanian city Brasov, surrounded by mountains and with a unique panorama of the medieval city center. The building is part of the city landscape as well, being quite isolated above the rooftops.

House in Prague by Fránek Architects; Czech Republic
The house for the family admiring art is poetic itself. The design of the house was created immediately but it took much longer time to design roof superstructure.

Family chapel in Bovec by Atelje Ostan Pavlin; Slovenia
For the purpose of a modern spiritual sanctuary we designed a small sacred place, shielded from the outside profane space, by three curved walls, responding to the micro-topography of the terrain. The “organic” structure on a sheep pasture opens towards the nearby mountains, leading a dynamic, changing dialogue with their contours. The house leaves three openings in three directions of the sky, reflecting the semantic trinity of the tripartite
