CONCEPT
When we were designing our proposal we were looking intersection between 2 poles, past and present, private and representative, global or local, tradition or timelessness. Our proposal is trying to represent Slovakia from the past to present, from war to peace, from difficult history to searching a place in Europe. We are trying to incorporate it to harmonical and balanced unit, which would represent Slovakia. The principal urbanistic division of the building
is inspirated by the Slavin monument, such as important monument of our country and his people. We use the same principle of 6 squares with one dominant element, which in our case is not statue but a tree - Linden, national tree of SLovakia. The building is divided into residential, represetative and technical part. All parts of villa are connected by the 3 units, which are the paraphrase to 3 wickers of king Svatopluk, traditional slovak legend, which similarly like them are connecting the building and give it the necessary coherence. Without them the building can't work. For highlighting the facade we use world-famous folk ornament from village Čičmany as a representant of folklore - important part of our cultural heritage.
