The House in Zbraslav, also referred to as the Zigzag House, is a family residence in the Czech Republic that was rebuilt by Martin Neruda Architektura after being damaged by fire. Completed in 2021, the project involved saving a single-family house on a corner plot in the village of Baně, southeast of Zbraslav. The fire had destroyed the ceilings and roof, but the architectural alterations honored the original footprint and volume of the historic village home. The renovation introduced a new, striking element: a hidden, underground garage integrated into the site's redesign. Above the garage, a green slope was created, enhancing the existing garden and blending seamlessly into the landscape. In addition to preserving the core structure, the reconstruction added a new glazed vestibule and terrace, which significantly updated the house's connection to its surroundings.
