"Das Haus" the semidetached house is located in the west part of Cracow, in the VII district - Zwierzyniec. This location gives in the near future a good opportunity to easy communicate to Cracow Main Square and Airport by special train. This connection is currently under construction. On the other hand this location is the best to live in open green area.
Each building consists of two units with private garden in the backyards on the west side and semi-private garden on the front. We designed on the east side of the buildings, public green spaces available on the street. The whole is substituted in the underground garage with 8 parking places. Building is covered with a gable roof with a slope about 41 degrees. The height of the ridge is 9.00 m height to the cornice of the front elevation is 4.50 m. This gable roof is rhythmically cutted by cubes with flat roofs. Due transposition of cubes each unit have terrace on the level plus 6.
The structure and rhythm is the idea of the project which consists of four unique, housing units, built on the vertical division of functions on 3 levels plus one underground.
Level 0 of each unit, designed as an open space, with a separate toilet and open stairs. This stairs separate different functional areas in one open space. On the level plus 3.00, are two living rooms, bathroom, laundry room and a dressing room. The stairs which connect each level are open from top to down. In the level plus 6.00 we designed workshop and bathroom. In addition, at this level there is a terrace accessed from the workshop. All the functions under the gable roof are auxiliary functions like for example bathrooms all the living areas (rooms and workshops) are located under the flat roof.
The building structure is designed as a reinforced concrete (reinforced concrete-filled walls of brick blocks and ceramic). The system of external walls and internal support is made of hollow bricks andreinforced concrete skeleton. The outer walls are finished with natural travertine stone tiles60x30x1,5 cm The other walls are finished by cement-lime plaster.
