The Vrnata House in Prague, a simple single-story structure with walls in brick and a steel-based roof structure, is located on the outskirts of the city near a small lake. The design challenge was to accommodate a large footprint on a modest site without creating a visually "big" house and to blend the house into its surroundings while maintaining its open and liberating feel. In addition, Dvorak architekti needed to communicate a rather challenging and exacting design to the client, who then needed to communicate it to the construction workers.
Dvorak architekti used MicroStation to facilitate a 3D model-centered design approach that provided effortless incorporation of input into the design. This also resulted in coordination and integration of all design disciplines and a complete understanding of the building and its components. MicroStation also provided visually easier to understand drawings and renderings, which led to more efficient production.
