In an Apartment in a small town, Mikulov
Urbášek, Jan ; Kristek, Jan (referee) ; Hora, Jan (advisor)
The main focus was to use elements, quintessential for the historic center of Mikulov, which are often recurrent and also have their place in present day. Courtyards, terraces, walls instead of fences, sloping roofs. All of the above-meantioned creates a distinctive character of the place as well as it underlines its basic need. A need for privacy. Solids is a reaction to this need. It is self-confessed new structure, which sticks out, but doesnt disrupt the town centre. Two solid, monolithic, concrete blocks become part of the town and co-create its genius loci.

In an Apartment in a small town, Mikulov
Solár, Michal ; Kozelský, Tomáš (referee) ; Hora, Jan (advisor)
The concept is based on the historical development of the plot and the city as such. Historically, the area has been defined by self-help and without clearly specified dogmatic guidelines. It is thanks to this that the city is enriched with moments that do not fulfill only the aesthetic or spiritual, but also the functional nature of the city. The moment of surprise and certain visas enriches the interior of the yard as well as the city. At first glance, such annoying spaces have a certain quality, caused by the play of light or the overall concept of space. An important feature of the object is the moment of surprise from the perceived space. The transition from a clearly defined ground floor to the rear, at first glance, irrational courtyard is enhanced by a passage, which also refers to the typical division of the small town house. ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTION The principle of layering of individual spaces clearly reflects the moments of surprise. By specific fragmentation of the building, a character that resembles rather a family house as a residential object, spaces of different quality and utilization are created. The lower dwellings have a spatially and optically separated garden from the total mass, with the top terrace being terraces which are optically linked to the courtyard, but are not accessible to the public. The apartments in the attic have mostly urban character. This creates the principle of co-existence, which is typical of the whole area of the city. The layering is evident in the distribution of flats with different connections to gardens and terraces as well as the variety of housing units. The spirit of the place is a standing cellar that reflects the historical transformation of the parcel and is a symbol of the locality.

331/5000 The project deals with housing and family living in a small town such as Mikulov. My goal is to find the positive of both possibilities.
