该项目所在的建筑建于1936年，由捷克著名建筑师Vladimír Grégr设计。这座功能主义风格的别墅有着许多明显的乡村元素，比如锥形外墙、粗糙质感的材料和木质覆面等。建筑师最大限度地尊重并保留了别墅原有的建筑特征，在此基础上进行翻新，比如去除80年代堆积的泥沙，突出别墅内部独特的空间和建筑细节，以及使别墅符合当代居住标准。

The villa was built in 1936 according to the design of a noted Czech architect Vladimír Grégr. Built in functionalist style, the villa has significant rustic elements including conical exterior walls, rough dragged work and wooden casing. In the framework of maximum respect to the original character of the house, the modifications include removal of the accumulation of insensitive silt of the 80s, highlighting the unique spaces and architectural details, and adaptation to modern living standards.

Vladimír Grégr曾在美国居住，这段经历深深地影响了他的设计风格，加州影星的浪漫情怀给他不少灵感。因此，他开始设计功能主义风格住宅。与此同时，受新西班牙风格和建筑师Jan Kotěra的启发，他还开始研究一种非常浪漫的形态学。他的形态学的第一次实践是在布拉格的巴兰多夫。巴兰多夫电影工作室和观光餐厅是Havel兄弟一时兴起决定建造的。开发商Havel先生希望可以沿着窄窄的Barrandov街道，在工作室周边建一些豪宅。所以他找到了一些建筑师，Vladimír Grégr便是其中一员。Vladimír Grégr先后在此建造了7栋别墅，这次我们有机会对其中的一栋进行改造和翻新，这栋别墅拥有一个昵称——“印度船”。

Vladimír Grégr’s work has been strongly influenced by his stay in the United States and the inspiration from the romantic haciendas of the Californian movie stars. Based on this experience he started designing aerodynamic functionalist houses. He also started developing a rather romantic shape morphology inspired not only by the mentioned Neo-Spanish style, but also by Jan Kotěra. The first opportunity to use his new approach was at Barrandov in Prague, where the Barrandov Film Studios and a sightseeing restaurant were built at the impulse of Havel brothers. The developer Mr. Havel wished for the studios to be complemented by luxury residences built along the narrow Barrandov streets. He approached several architects, among them Vladimír Grégr, who gradually built seven villas in the location. We had the opportunity to participate in the renovation of one of these villas nicknamed Indian Ship.

▼花园视角，view from the garden

别墅曾归外交官Růžička所有，坐落在Barrandov东南向的斜坡上，与Barrandovská大街平行。平面以花园为中心，所有的房间都朝向花园——客厅，餐厅，书房，卧室，甚至包括浴室。杂物间和走廊则是沿着西北向布局，朝向街道，这也体现出的沿街立面的极简特质。翻新过程中，我们尽最大努力留其精华去其糟粕。改造的目的是为了保留别墅的特性，保证别墅的品质，同时也能满足现如今的需求。因为其特有的外观特征，所以这栋别墅意义非凡，我们尽力保留别墅的特色，比如窗户，立面，以及其他建筑细节。同时，处理好别墅原有的材质和结构，以及应对技术方面的挑战，也是非常必要的。

The Indian Ship used to belong to diplomat Růžička. It is a carefully composed lengthwise shell placed onto the south-east Barrandov slope, parallel to the Barrandovská Street. The interior layout is strongly oriented towards the garden, all the residential rooms – the super-elevated living room, dining room and library on the ground floor, and the three bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor, are facing it. On the other hand, the utility rooms and hallways are Northwest oriented, facing the street, which also shows in the stern character of the street façade.During the project we tried to preserve all that was important and remove everything useless. The aim of the project was to preserve the identity and quality of the house, while reacting to the needs of the present era. Based on its exterior character, the villa was listed as architectural monument and we tried to save its unique figure, window panes, façade character and architectural details. At the same time, it was necessary to deal with the building and technical challenges arising from the used constructions and materials of the time.

别墅的主体是空心砌块钢筋混凝土结构。在开始设计之前，我们进行了大量的技术研究，测量了窗户和墙壁的热通道，并做了热成像。研究结果显示，由于别墅本身的承重结构，屋顶和地下室的隔热不良，产生大量热桥。而且，别墅窗户的热传导系数竟然还特别好。所以，我们的翻新根据研究结果来进行，用现代屋顶结构换掉原有的屋顶结构，外立面增加5厘米厚的隔热层，同时还用到了防渗等其他技术，以确保别墅的地下空间可以使用，在以前这是不可能实现的。除此之外，我们还进行了能源和经济方面的研究，得出了“用燃气锅炉来加热最有效”的结论。因此将地板采暖和散热管道介乎来供暖，创造出独特的内部特点。地下空间还配有空调，这样可以保持永久通风，防止外面水汽进入。
