The residential site is designed for the area of former brickyard where clay had been extracted and processed. The new owner came with the idea of changing the plant to residential zone and required the option of building individual houses within stages, independently of each other. Our effort was to make the best possible use of the non-attractive lot while respecting the dominants of the locality. The development revives the area and creates autonomous urbanistic structure, considering natural limits of the site and trying to provide clear hierarchy of communications and areas, as well as good and clear orientation within the site. Thus, the urbanistic and architectural concept is based upon the main composition axis which binds additional mass structure to itself. Most of the designed objects in the residential block are based on the brick as the original characteristic element of the locality. Bricks are used in various forms in almost every object. Preserved factory chimney, modified to water tower, will be the strongest reminder of the original function of the site. Residential houses in sector A represent a continuation to individual residential development in the northern part of the town; this is why their height increases gradually from the southern edge towards the main street. With respect to their central location, the houses have the amenities in their parterre. Due to their elevation- and content structure, the objects in the remaining sectors – „B“, „C“ and „D“ – have a more private character. The development is supplemented by a row of individually built houses which announces the transfer to village-like character of utilisation of the remaining land in the future.
