Litvínovice是波西米亚南部城市České Budějovice附近的一座村庄。典型的城市扩张改变了原先的道路结构：草地和农田逐渐被新的开发区占据。因而，通过在新兴郊区大规模建立住宅来解决住房需求成为了该场地最典型的的背景印记。

The village of Litvínovice is located about 5 km south of the city České Budějovice in southern Bohemia. Typical urban sprawl substitutes the original street structure – the developed areas are established on the surrounding undeveloped meadows and fields. Thus, the context of the place is a typical imprint of the current mass approach to solving the housing needs through family houses in newly emerging suburban districts.

该场地的优势在于其地势平缓地向南面倾斜，因此可以从北面的街道轻松地进入。结构设计需要遵循当地对山墙屋顶和建筑高度的规范限制，且地块的面积并不足以满足客户对居住面积的需求，这就要求设计师以足够清晰合理的逻辑来对空间进行布局。住宅与地块边界的距离仅有2米，这也是施工规范所允许的最小距离。余下的空间成为了公共道路的延伸，可以容纳一张长椅或种植一些绿色植物。这一解决方案也为住宅南面的私人花园提供了更多空间。

The advantage of this specific building plot is its orientation towards the cardinal points. The terrain of the site slopes gently to the south, the access can be easily set up from the street on the northern side.  A regulation for this area prescribes a gabled roof and the maximum building height. The surrounding morphology does not offer significant remote views. The land area is not large enough for generous intentions of the client, which lead to logical positioning of the house, although not typical for this area. The house is placed just two meters from the boundary of the plot, which is the minimal distance permitted by the legislation. The residual space is left for the extension of public pavement where a bench can be installed, or some greenery planted. This solution brings more space to the private garden, which is situated south of the house.

住宅的平面类似于一个嵌入不规则四边形内的T字形。基于场地形态，四边形在道路转角处呈现为圆角。入口大厅位于房子的北面，且配有衣帽间、车库和杂物间。在进入起居空间之前需要先向下经过几级台阶。主起居室被覆盖在倾斜的天花板下，顶部层高超过4米。厨房、餐厅和客厅仅通过家具进行分隔。宽阔的无框落地窗将带顶露台连接至花园，强调了不受阻碍的、开放的空间体验。

The floor plan of the house can be described as a letter T inscribed into an irregular quadrangle with one rounded corner, which is a shape given by the site. In the northern part of the house there is an entrance hall with cloakroom, garage and utility room. To enter the residential part of the house, it is necessary to descend few steps. The main living area has an inclined ceiling with the height of more than 4 meters at the top. Kitchen, dining room and living room are separated only by furniture items. Huge frameless window, that leads through the covered terrace to the garden, enhances the feeling of the open space without barriers.

两间独立的卧室、浴室以及工作间均可以从房屋中央的衣帽间进入。每个朝北的房间都设有大尺寸的落地窗，并连接于一个由2.5米高的墙壁围合而成的小型庭院。庭院空间为居住者提供了完全私密的空间，可以安装吊床、户外浴缸或者淋浴器。照射在围墙上的阳光使得庭院空间从清晨便开始焕发生机。

Two separate bedrooms are accessible through the central cloakroom as well as bathroom, bedroom and workroom. Rooms located in the northern part of the house have large French windows, that connect them with a small atrium, which is separated from the street only by 2,5 meters height fence wall. This atrium offers completely private space well suitable for installation of hammock, outdoor bath or shower. Reflection of sunlight on the fence wall makes the space pleasant from the beginning of the day.

室内空间使用了具有自然气息的材料、色彩和手工家具，房屋外观则呈现出更加简单朴素的感觉。这种极简主义的设计方法也可以看作是对过度饱和的周围环境的一种回应。

While the interior uses natural materials, colours and craft furniture, the exterior is rather sober. This form of minimalism is an answer to the oversaturated surrounding environment.
