FOUR HOUSES IN ONE
A SET OF FOUR APARTMENT BUILDINGS ON A COMMON BASE IN A TRADITIONAL RESIDENTIAL AREA
The building is located in a quiet residential Masaryk district , full of quality pre-war functionalist architecture . The volume and spatial solution is based on the character and proportions of the nearest buildings . Residential complex consists of four blocks of different sizes - apartment buildings - which protrude above the terrain from a common underground base .
The set of buildings thus naturally fits into its surroundings . The site with a south-west orientation and an attractive view over the Brno Exhibition Centre to the Kohoutovice forest was the reason for the maximum orientation and the opening of the residential complex into this direction . The apartment buildings descend along the slope , their height decreases towards the southern tip of the plot .
