Brick Garden

Designed by Jan Proksa in Prušánky, the house features an exposed-brick facade, spilling over into the courtyard, which also defines the boundary of the backyard garden.

Jan Proksa designed a house in a traditional Southern Moravian village, reflecting elements of the local style, which is built as an extension of an existing third-generation family home. The exposed-brick facade, spilling over into an exposed-brick courtyard, also defines the boundary of the backyard garden.

The single-floor plan is very simple and functional. The main room features an open kitchen and a large table, abutting in a non-frame sliding window with views on the garden. Adjacent, there is a bedroom with a narrow bathroom. This continuity is reinforced by the use of locally-sourced traditional brick for both the tree-lined courtyard and the building's facade
