From the architect. Middle sized family house designed for a couple with two children.
Situated in a narrow street in center of Zagreb. The house is located on the street， respecting the current building line of other houses in the street， but raised above street level.
车库保持在街面上，但是被并入住宅地基。梯形地基规划源于场地的形状。
Garage is kept on the street level but incorporated in the base of the house. Trapeze base plan derives from the site shape.
Immediate neighbourhood is very dense， and site itself surrounded by huge houses. That is why the house is"defensive"towards the neighbours and opens itself diagonally, in angles， to gain light， air and vistas.
On the garden side， the interior expands towards the outside space， with the biggest facade openings. Visible volume of the house is two-storey high， while the base is integrated in terrein， hiding garage and pool area.
房屋的外壳明亮，内核昏暗。两者之间的空间成为露台和凉廊。
The shell of the house is light and the core dark; the spaces in between becoming terraces， loggias.
Section/截面图
生活区在一楼。西部朝向花园，东部朝向街道，不过在东部景色被遮蔽。
房屋的设计构思源于在密集建筑区保持隐私的想法。
Living area on grund level is oriented both towards the garden in the west and street in the east， though hidden from the views in the east.
Design of the house develops from the idea of keeping privacy in a densly built area.
