The subject of this bachelor's thesis is the design of project documentation for a detached apartment building in the city of Olomouc, in the cadastral area of Povel. The building is designed for permanent residential use and is structured as a five-story building with four above-ground floors and one basement level, topped with a flat extensive green roof. The building features a square floor plan, and its total capacity consists of 12 residential units of various size categories, including one unit designed as barrier-free for persons with reduced mobility and orientation.
In addition to the entrance and common areas, the layout of the first above-ground floor includes commercial spaces for a café and a hairdressing salon accessible from the exterior, two separate garages for residents, a bicycle storage room, and a gym. The residential units themselves are located from the second to the fourth above-ground floors. The basement level is utilized for the building's technical facilities and cellar storage units. The architectural expression of the facade is enhanced by stone cladding on the ground floor, a light-colored facade finish on the upper floors, and balconies with aluminum louvers in a wood decor, which serve both an aesthetic and a shading function.
The load-bearing structural system of the above-ground floors consists of Sendwix sand-lime blocks – outer and inner load-bearing walls with a thickness of 240 mm, complemented by reinforced concrete columns with dimensions of 240 × 240 mm and a monolithic reinforced concrete wall. Interior partition walls are designed from the same material with a thickness of 150 mm. Floor structures and staircases are implemented as monolithic reinforced concrete slabs with a thickness of 250 mm. The building is founded on reinforced concrete strip foundations and footings. Thermal insulation of the building envelope is provided by an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) made of mineral wool with a thickness of 180 mm, while the plinth course and the basement level are insulated with extruded polystyrene (XPS) with a thickness of 120 mm.
Heating of the entire building is designed as underfloor heating in all residential units. The heat source is provided through a district heating system. The building is fully connected to the public utility infrastructure, specifically the water supply, heating network, sewerage, and electricity grid.
The thesis includes a covering letter, a summary technical report, the architectural and structural design of the building including drawing documentation, and a separately prepared building physics assessment, which comprises the thermal technical evaluation
of structures, acoustics, daylighting, and energy performance assessment of the building
envelope.
