The village of Bouzov is located 30 km northwest of Olomouc, in the picturesque landscape of Bouzovská vrchovina dominated by a castle. The new residential complex for permanent living as well as for recreation will be situated in the eastern part called Pod Vršky characterized by a distinctively natural landscape and slightly sloping terrain morphology. The basic division of the territory is defined by a main road which is surrounded by nineteen luxurious independently-standing family houses with public space offering a chance to actively spend free time (a café, playground and swimming pool). The esthetic of the whole residential complex is based on maximal blending into the surrounding environment – low buildings, green roofs, stone walls, and partial terrain coverage. The emphasis is on mutual visual communication between the houses and the castle.
