Villa Above the Water sits in the Czech Republic as a family house shaped by anticipation.

The L-shaped property uses the site’s gentle slope and a swimming pond to build its own world at the edge of a village near Prague.

Calm materials, a legible plan, and child-scaled thresholds shape a daily rhythm of arriving, playing, and gathering.
