House M, Zagreb
Autor: Teufik Galijašević
The residential building consists of two residential units with separate entrances; the building is detached and its longer side has a northeast-southwest orientation. The placement of the building volume in space in this way has resulted in transparency of the south-east facade and has provided a visual connection between the interior and an open zone of the planned green surfaces. The access to the house is on the northeast side.
The building consists of – in terms of function and design – two different volumes: the more closed north-western one with areas of sanitation facilities and communication, and the completely open south-eastern one with living rooms, working spaces and bedrooms. Such spatial organization makes the apartment zones easy to follow - from the entrance and the sanitation facilities area, via longitudinal communication area, to the living room, working room, dining room and kitchen, and bedrooms on the first floor. The levels are connected vertically by the stairway and elevator.
The apartment makes contact with the exterior space through continuous glass façade walls; in this way, uniformity of structure and sufficient flexibility of space has been achieved. Architectural interpretation is distinguished by its simplicity, with clearly emphasised structure of the building. The construction height of the above-ground floors and basement is 300 cm. The roof is designed as flat and non-passable.
