Full architectural scope — site planning, facade, interiors, landscape. Pyšely, near Prague.
Two volumes: a two-story main block and a single-story wing that wraps around the terrace and pool. The L-shape creates a courtyard sheltered from the street, open to the garden.
Pool runs parallel to the ground-floor living space. In summer the glass slides fully open and the terrace becomes an extension of the living room. Travertine flooring carries through both zones — no visual break between inside and out.
Facade: three materials, no paint. Travertine cladding as primary skin. Vertical ribbed stone panels on key elevations — they catch light differently through the day and add depth, not decoration. Floor-to-ceiling aluminum glazing. We pushed the supplier hard on frame profiles to get the slimmest possible sightlines. It mattered.
The wing’s roof is an accessible green terrace. Pool terrace shaded by a travertine pergola — same stone as the facade, reads as one piece. Landscape: ornamental grasses, topiary shrubs, a planted berm at the street edge for privacy. The house sits in a golf resort, so the green roof and berm help it settle into the ground instead of sitting on top of it.
