Terraced houses are located among the heterogeneous development consisting of single-family houses, a gardening colony, linear apartment houses and a supermarket near the former Michal mine. There was nothing to build on, so we created a fixed, memorable line – a sign, just as the structures of the workers’ colonies used to be.

The terraced house is built on a 7.5 x 7.2 m plan and has two floors, an attic and everything that is necessary for a family of four to live in the city. Access to the houses from Chleborádova Street is from the south side through the front garden with a covered terrace, which is protected from the street view by bicycle storage.

Each house has two parking spaces on its plot, one of which is covered. The houses are made of brick, the ceilings are monolithic reinforced concrete, and the roof trusses are wooden. The houses are heated by electric underfloor heating combined with heat recovery.
