AOSI pierces residence’s volume with green atriums in the czech republic

Green Atriums House by AOSI connects residents with nature

The Green Atriums House by AOSI reinterprets the classic atrium house typology, aiming to integrate modern living with nature. Located in the southern region of Moravia, Czech Republic, the house is situated amidst green hills near Pernštejn Castle. Designed as a retreat from urban life, the residence seeks to harmonize with the surrounding natural environment.

The core design objective is to establish a seamless connection between the residents and nature. Green atria, positioned along the periphery of the house, facilitate a smooth transition between the interior and exterior spaces, fostering a sense of unity with the lush surroundings. This approach reflects a deliberate move from city living to a countryside setting, creating an oasis that accommodates both human inhabitants and various animals.

The house’s form is influenced by the incorporation of green atria and utility boxes, resulting in a fluid open space. Each utility box is characterized by distinct materials, contributing to the unique ambiance of different areas within the residence. Notably, the strategic placement of atria along the perimeter enhances natural light penetration while maintaining privacy.

Windows are thoughtfully positioned to maximize views of the greenery, ensuring a visual connection with the landscape beyond. The deliberate arrangement of atria on all sides of the house disrupts the continuous wall, presenting a consistent character from every perspective. Overall, AOSI‘s Green Atriums House embodies a fusion of modern living and nature, creating a serene and inspiring environment for its residents.
