The main objective of this bachelor's thesis is to develop the relevant part of the execution design documentation (DPS) for the construction of a modern family house. The building is situated on flat terrain on the outskirts of the village of Mžany. The thesis focuses on a comprehensive design that effectively combines the architectural solution with the technical requirements for the foundation and structural system of the building on a slope, in compliance with applicable building standards and legislation.
The thesis is divided into a textual section and appendices.
The building plot in question features a flat terrain profile, which facilitated an efficient and well-organized layout and structural design for the entire building. The designed family house, featuring a rectangular floor plan that seamlessly integrates residential functions with commercial premises, is conceived as a two-story building with a partial basement, designed to meet the comfortable living requirements of a five-member family. The interior stands out for its high standard of living, achieved through rigorous functional zoning that strictly and logically separates the private, quiet quarters from the social and working areas. The main entrance to the residential area is oriented to the south at the first above-ground floor level. In close proximity lies the architecturally distinct commercial unit with a flat roof, which features its own independent entrance to ensure the undisturbed operation of both entities. The overall concept and the seamless connection between the interior and exterior are completed on the eastern side by an adjacent outdoor terrace.
From a structural design perspective, the building is founded on shallow foundations, specifically on plain concrete strip footings, which ensure the safe transfer of loads into the subsoil. Vertical load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls are designed using precision ground ceramic blocks (THERM type). To meet legislative energy standards and eliminate thermal bridges, the perimeter masonry is equipped with an External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS). Horizontal structural elements and floor slabs are designed as monolithic reinforced concrete, which significantly contributes to the high spatial rigidity and excellent acoustic properties of the entire building. The roofing of the building features a pitched roof with a traditional timber truss carpentry structure, covered with a durable roofing system made of traditional fired clay tiles, which completes the overall architectural character of the house and guarantees its long lifespan.
