Project: House in the vacant lot Location: Bratislava, Slovakia Project type: Student competition, collective Date: April 2015 Coauthor: Bc. Bronislava Priehodová
House for a family in the citycentre has to be more than a good dwelling. House at Župné námestie provides quality housing for a four member family with a roof terrace and a garden. Thus has the exterior relax zone which is not very easy to create in the city center. There is an important connection created between the neglected Michael`s moat and the public space. House is a gate. It fits and fills the useful space and invites to forbidden places of the city to enjoy the culture and city life. Stairs leading to the moat contain the space for gallery or cafe. Lot has been selected to bring attention to number of abandoned spaces. There are many empty unkept structures and estates around Slovakia that could used to improve city enviroment. Let`s bring the citizens back to city center. People are the city.

Project: Wooden food drier Location: Kittsee, Austria Project type: Private, group Date: Summer, 2014 Coauthor: Bc. Bronislava Priehodová, Lukáš Houser, Wendy Anne Frömmelová
Construction of fruit dryer was initiated by cityzens of Koněprusy, because there is plenty of orchards and thus delicious fruit and forests full of mushrooms. We are glad we could help to...their idea. In our design we tried to deal with autumn rainy weather. The experiment combines power of the sun and fire. Dryer itself consist of several parts. Pedestal out of bricks which serves as fireplace upon which is sheetmetal with the layer of gravel acumulating the heat. The smoke is lead away trough the chimney on the side of the dryer. There is the main body set on the pedestal which is made of wood. There are 8 drowers with net bottom where the fruit and mushrooms can be spread and dried. There are four holes in the wooden body in the lower part and another four on the top which assure the air circulation and thuc effective drying. We hope all will work just fine and inhabitants of Koněprusy could enjoy all the possibilities their comunity centre provides.
