Family Houses Budkova

Two family houses near „Horsky park“ in Bratislava. On one side, the local but rather busy traffic of Budkova Street, on the other, forest silence. The houses are located in a relaxed street development of detached family houses. The context of the surrounding development, as well as the parking conditions, allowed for a distance from traffic, thanks to which a green filter was created in the front yard of family houses - in the front garden on the overgrown terrain, but also in a large-scale concrete flower pot or on the roof of the underground floors. When the trees grow, both houses will be immersed in greenery, not only from Horsky park, but also when seen from the street. The perception of what is happening on the street also helps to eliminate the elevation of the ground floor above the level of the sidewalk, in order to distance it as much as possible from the privacy of the apartment dwellers. Two levels of underground floors as seen from the street, contain garages accessible by car elevator and a two-story administrative space facing Horsky park. There are a total of five apartments with various layouts on the above-ground floors. The living areas are oriented towards the park with a large terrace or a comfortable balcony. The atmosphere of the forest park is transferred to the interiors of the apartments and administrative spaces through the large glazing and outdoor terrace.
