Estate - boundary and their relationship and its definition is the primary layer of the concept. This particular estate has two types of boundaries: boundary between estate and public space and boundary between third party estate. Between these boundaries there is a considerable length of disparity, three sides of the estate are oriented into the streets, it forms the commencement of the given area, which even more multiplies the exposure of the estate. Exponability is an appropriate feature in commercial or public buildings. In my project, I understand this property as a disadvantage. People have a tendency to build family houses to avoid exposure, to isolate themselves. People want to be protected, physically, but mainly psychologically. This demand is not filled with exposure, but rather, closeness and segregation. From the ancient times, people have used fence or wall to define their estate and property. Wall as a physical construction is uniquely determining the boundary. Wall provided opportunity to define their own world - space. Wall always provided feel of the security for inhabitants inside. In this specific spatial position, I
see the wall as an initial necessity for a home to emerge. In the first step, I define the boundary - the wall, the definition of the exterior beyond the wall, but also the imaginary interior inside, behind the other side of the wall. In this case, the interior is not defined as the space inside the building but as a space “inside�, behind the wall. From these words, I can say that the wall clearly defines the house, the wall becomes house, and vice versa, there is equal connection between the house and the wall. In this case, the boundary is expressed by the house, which allows to remove the interlayer, usually part of the garden, between the house and the wall. This means that the house uses the land as efficiently as possible, from the edge to the edge. For this spatial configuration of the estate, I choose a single-storey house with two atria, spatially large but mass-compact. A single-storey house behaves adequately in the context of parcel exposure, does not behave arrogantly, does not scramble into the environment. The House modestly, inadvertently and quietly announces its presence through massive concrete walls made of coarse concrete.

Metro station Náměstí bratří Synků, Prague-Nusle ATOS studio Rothbauer
The new Line A subway stations and the visualization of D-line stations have proved to be very inelegant, so I decided to try out with my classmates an alternative to the “tracksuit” postmodernism from the Metroprojekt design studio. We wanted to show , that the metro in Prague can have aesthetic qualities and can look contemporary and also will look contemporary century later. We wanted to show that it is necessary to hold an intensive discussion on the form of public buildings. We wanted to demonstrate the necessity of launching an architectural competition for the design of new stations and to show that Prague deserves a return to the architectural quality of 1970´s design of the stations, which are characteristic for Prague and became world famous. The construction of the metro station is not a seasonal matter. The metro station is designd to be built as a long-term building that has to serve well for at least 50 years. The key to the station should be timelessness. Not necessarily formal timelessness, a good form may not be primarily conceived as timeless. Timelessness usually takes up to years
of use. Moral and material timelessness is important. Different materials are aging in different ways. I can see the key to timelessness in the material abstemiousness, maybe even austerity, in reduction to necessary minimum. Abstemiousness along with the chosen construction method must define the look of the station. Metro station is just an ordinary hole in the ground reinforced with concrete. The station should behave as a beautiful concrete hole. It would be very unresponsible not to use this necessity and not to show the raw beauty of the material that had to be used. Pri stavbe je nutné spotrebovať kvantum betónu. The underground station can not be built from wood, plastic or glass, so we can only talk about concrete as the main material. Primary it is stil transport building. Transport building needs functionality and simple straightforward design solutions. Based on these statements, I define the concrete hall. It can be called a temple for its generosity. Strictly utilitarian, raw elegant temple of transport. Raw gray space made of reinforced concrete coupled with blue colouered escalators and elevators.

Housing unit Ruzyně U Prioru Praha-Ruzyně ATBS studio Zavřel-Zdebská
Prague Ruzyne today: more brownfield than a full-valued city district, more endless fencing of corrugated sheet metal with barbed wire than a pleasant city street. Prague Ruzyne a few years later: on the basis of the regulatory plan for reconstruction it looks like the KarlĂn district, only in a larger scale and without water. The regular street network, regular city blocks, even the altitude level is similar. The task is to solve one city block. The block southwest corner adjacent to the old Ruzyne is divided into two parts: the residential part, consisting of three-storey apartment blocks with small services in the parter, a line house containing a cultural center, art studios with accommodation on the east side of the block and green a grassy area, a public sporting ground partially under the level of a street with tributaries on a slope in the north-west of the area. More detailed solution within a given area has been found in a block of flats on the western side of a block adjacent to the northern facade of the sports complex. The L-shaped house consists of 4 staircases. In the corner, the house has 4 floors, in the other parts it is
three-storey. Garages are designed as shared for the whole area under residential buildings. The apartments are mostly triple. In the corners of the first floor with the orientation to the pedestrian zone and towards the sports ground there is a pub, in the summer months with outdoor seating. The flats on the 1st floor are raised up the street, with living rooms facing the inerblock full of greenery with a smooth passage to the garden. The apartment house is visually austere, with one dimension of the window filling placed in a regular raster. This is either a classic window, divided into 3 sections, or a pre-set window, with a parapet with the possibility of viewing in three sides. The third option is the loggia without filler. The facade at first sight is simple, but extremely complicated in detail. It is built from the bricks rotated by 45 degree angle, creating a toothed surface. When light falls on the sharp edges of the bricks, the bricks create a show of light and shade as it would not achieve a smooth facade. Teeth also positively affect building acoustics. A distinctive feature of the inerblock are the glass staircase towers creating regular raster.

Brewery Surface quarry ČSA Jezeří ZAT Kvízová-Fenclová
Mostecko, a piece of land suffered by the surface mining of brown coal will have to deal with the surface quarry of the Czechoslovak army, where the mining should be terminated with an optimistic scenario in 2021. There is planned a recultivating lake - the 700 ha big area will be flooded in the same way as it was in past, when there was the Lake Komorany in the same position. On the shore of the lake, at the foot of hill under the Jezeří castle, a recreational site should be created after the land recultivation. A small craft brewery will be part of the site. The brewery's heart is always a mash tun with a lauter tun and a wort copper. The mash tun is the center of the brewery and the entire building that spreads around. In craftsmanship, it is important to show visitors the process of production, or to involve them in the production process. Involving people to production can be done well with a centric disposition of the brewery. The brewery is two-storey, partly set on the lower floors on a steep slope. On the first floor, there is the brewing technology: mash tun, lauter tun, wort copper, opened fermenting tun, fermenta-
tion tanks, all other necessary equipment and a bar with tap. The bar with tap is connected by the glass wall and doors with the exterior terace with a beautiful lake view. On the second floor, accessible from a circular staircase or from an exterior - from the street level, there is a sitting area around the circular glass wall that is used mostly in unfavorable weather when the terrace is out of order. The center of the floor is empty. It is possible to look down and see the brewing process. On the roof of the brewery there is a chimney which forms the height dominant of the surrounding area. The chimney also serves as a good landmark in the neighborhood, making the brewery easy to see. At the bottom of the estate there is a pier on one side, where it is possible to relax close to the water and on the other side, there is brewer´s house - a minimum housing providing the possibility of rest and relaxation for the employees of the brewery. The greenery on the estate is designed to provide reasonable amount of shadow in a summer to protect the building against overheating and to provide cosily sitting on the terrace and on the pier.

Brewers house Surface quarry ČSA Jezeří ZAT Kvízová-Fenclová
Besides the brewery, there is also a miniature residential building - a brewer´s house located on the estate. The object is intended for the occasional stay of the brewer or brewery staff. The building is located at the bottom of the area, partially above lake level. By placing the house in this position outside of the customer area it is possible to provide a certain degree of privacy and security to the inhabitants. The house is primarily designed for rest and relax after work. With its shape and orientation, the house turns away from the brewery, orienting towards the lake. The house is two-storey with a separate day and night zone. The floor area is less than 30 m2. On the ground floor there is a living room, a kitchenette, a small workspace and a sanitary facility containing a shower and a toilet. A bedroom for 2 people is located on the second floor. The bedroom is connected with day zone by a steep staircase. The house is able to accommodate up to 4 people, which is enough for the needs of the brewery. The house is designed for a comfortable stay
of 2 people, although the maximum capacity is higher. The building is built on steel piles, partly above the water level at a sufficient height to prevent flooding of the house in the season of heavy rains when there is possibility of watter altitude changes. The house itself is made of steel tubes, precasted, made off-site and then assembled on prepared piles. The steel frame construction is very similar to ship container construction. The construction dimensions are 5.8 m in length, 3.7 m in width and the height at the highest point is almost 6 m. The lake-oriented facade is made of glass. There is solid, full-height window with a sloping lining made of titanium metal sheet as well as other walls and roof. The eastern and western facades have a lower proportion of windows. Entrance to the house is oriented to the north, towards the brewery. The entrance to the house is through the staircase and small porch that can compensate watter altitude changes. The shading of large glazed surfaces is provided by using exterior aluminum blinds.

Library Ferona, Plzeňská ulice Ostrava-Zábřeh Athens week TU Delft
Nowadays, it is already clear that small local (all libraries) libraries are changing. The book, as a subject of the work of the library, begins to get into the background and begins to be supplemented by other activities. This trend is likely to continue, so it is time to ask how the library will look like in the future. In our vision, the library is decentralized, community-based, for a small number of people from a close neighborhood, with high degree of local people participation. The library combines several different functions, such as a workshop, a cafeteria, a community garden, but also the book lending service itself. The books may not be held directly in the library. The books will be stored in one big central library - depository from where they will be distributed to the small local libraries. By reducing the number of physical copies, it is possible to increase the volume and diversity of other activities. The library will not be primarily about books, but mainly about people and their activities. The model of small decentralized community libraries is universally applicable to the most of at least mid-sized sites (<100k inhabitants). Ostrava was
chosen to demonstrate the chooen solution. Ostrava is, from the historical context, a city that is not phisically divided and full of contrasts. The library could work well here as a tool for connecting urban structures and people. There are a lot of hard-to-connect areas, but also groups of people in Ostrava. The sample library module is located in the Zábřeh, where there is a residential area of family houses, the industrial zone, the campus of the university and the exclusive location of the roma people ghetto. Spoločným centrálnym bodom územia je električková zastávka. The common central point of the area is the tram stop. All inhabitants of the territory have to meet there, but their contact ends by entering the tram. The library is located above tram stop. Now people have opportunity to visit the library and choose some activity above the tram stop. Whether it's waiting for a tram shortened by reading newspapers in the garden terrace with a coffee, or it can be a beer after work or school, or any other activities as a workshop, film screening, discussion and concerts, which can be an very attractive not only for locals from the area.

Riverbank HornĂ promenĂĄda Trutnov Workshop Nezevlijentak Trutnov 2016
The Trutnov Upper Promenade: The name could evoke a noble place full of walking people enjoing good weather and live. However, these days we could call this communication close to river Ă&#x161;pa the Upper road for cyclist. It is not necessary to make a great effort to revive the watterfront. Slightly unideal position, a bit torn from the city, although physically in the city center can be easily compensated by creating an interesting moment alongside the communication. Pedestrians and cyclists currently have no reason to stop and stay on the watterfront. There is no added value, only an asphalt road. However, entry conditions are excellent. A maintained green belt with width of 10 m with majestic trees with access to the water in a few points. It can sound for many villages without river as a dream. The aim of the workshop was to revive this green belt, to force people to slow down, to give them the opportunity to realize what a strong value they have in the city. The goal was to start the conversion of the cycling track on the promenade into the real promenade. Green Belt was split between several teams of students. Our
team took a position at the beginning of the promenade, close to the old stone bridge connecting the city center with the railwaystation. We understand the place as an opening, the gateway to the promenade. On this fact, the whole concept was created - to create a gateway - an introduction to the entire promenade and indeed to other projects. There are 3 trees in a triangular configuration at the beginning. The pair of trees itself creates the gate. We wanted to respect that. Trees create enclosed space. It could be said that they make the interior in the exterior, the room. That is why we choose to build a room. Doors as an entrance to the promenade, interior of the city. Window with river view, frame of natural scenery. In the center of the room we place a table and chairs. The place of stopping, sitting and relaxing in the shade of the trees. Through the parallel to the interior, we show the inhabitants of Trutnov that the promenade is part of the house called Trutnov, that it is one of the town's rooms that deserves to be adequately used. Although the installation was short-termed the target met, triggered people's interest in the promenade.

Reconstruction of the kitchen Horný Val Žilina realisation november 2016
The design of the kitchen came from the claim of middle-aged, house owners that they did not want to change the kitchen by the end of their life anymore, and they do not want to make more changes in the house altogether. The house in which the proposed reconstruction is realized is a city house, whose earliest parts are from the middle of the 17th century. The second floor, where the kitchen is situated, has its layout from the end of the 19th century. From historic constructions and facillities, only walls, oak parquet and small amount of historic furniture were preserved. Designing an interior for a non-standard lifetime has its own pitfalls. Firstly material one: it is necessary to choose materials capable of high quality and homogeneous aging and secondly: formal - the form should be as simple as possible, elementary, that can be compatible with all other interventions either in the kitchen or other rooms beside. The design is built from the floor: from the 80's in the kitchen was ceramic tiles, later covered with linoleum, which was replaced by oak parquet during the renovation. The parquet are identical to the historical
parquet in the living room with a dining room and a office. They create a continuous space. Before the floor renovation, the partitions between kitchen and living room had to be demolished. A maximaly opened space has been created, which also has the positive effect of improving kitchen light conditition. There are no tiles on the walls of the kitchen. The walls are painted with white washable acrylic paint: first, because of the absolute inevenness of the historic construction and secondly because of the certain timelessness of the space - the tiling is always the element that becomes obsolete among the first. The kitchen uses the floor space of the room as far as possible. The kitchen is not large in terms of disposition, area is less than 12m2. The furniture is made of chipboard claddes in oak veneer of dark semi-finished color. Surface treatment of new furniture was based on surface treatments of older furniture in the dining room and living room. I was trying to make new furniture complementar with the old one. There are used hidden hinges on the opening parts, thanks to which the surfaces of the cabinet act smoothly and continuously.
