The location of my proposal is Hägernäs strand which is a modern suburb in Täby about 16 km north of Stockholm city. The area is situated directly on the coast in the inner archipelago of stockholm and offers good opportunities for walks along the coastline.  Natural environments are important resources for public health. And with a trendy minimization of living space, the balcony becomes a valuable extension of the living room. My project is about using the balcony as an important detail in the design and giving the residents the best conditions to spend more time outdoors.

There is a clear focus on the environmental question in today’s society. The awareness of energy consumption and emission of greenhouse gases is growing which causes the urge to increase energy efficiency and decrease the emissions. This is applied in all sectors, housing being one of them.Approximately a fifth of the entire energy consumption in Sweden accounts for hot water supply and heating of all housing and facilities. About half of all housing in Sweden consist of apartment building’s. A third of the global emission of greenhouse gases is related to the building sector. This motivates a focus on energy saving measures in the housing sector and especially apartment buildings.In this report the consequences, regarding energy savings, economic profitability and emission of CO2 equivalents, of implementing energy saving measures on an old apartment building have been investigated. The energy saving measures that have been considered are Additional insulation of attic, Additional insulation of external wall, New windows and balcony doors and FTX. The reference building that has been considered in this project is a light weight concrete apartment building with brick facade which was constructed in Stockholm 1948. It has 3 floors, a basement and a total of 12 apartments. This project has been preformed in cooperation with AB Familjebost¨ader.The results regarding energy savings have been brought through energy simulations in the software IDA ICE. The reference building was constructed in the software and simulations were done for each energy saving measure. Another simulation was done combining the measures Additional insulation of external wall and New windows and balcony doors and one simulation combining all measures. A reference simulation was also done to validate that the model building is representative to the reference building.The economic profitability and payback time was calculated, using the net present value method considering the discount rate of 4% and the lifetime of 40 years, for each measure and combined measures. The emissions of CO2 equivalents related to the material used for each energy saving measure were calculated. Additionally, the emissions related to consumption of electricity and district heating were calculated, considering three different district heating suppliers. With these numbers the total amount of avoided emissions due to a measure could be calculated.According to the simulation results Insulation of attic had the lowest energy saving with 3.34% and New windows and balcony doors had the largest energy saving with 27.49%. The total energy saving reached 68.51% when implementing all measures. According to the economic calculations only Insulation of attic is profitable with a payback time of 8.42 years. But the measures New windows and balcony doors and FTX might be profitable if the reference building’s increased value, due to implementation of the measure, is considered. The calculations of the emissions of CO2 equivalents suggests that all measures imply avoided emissions if the current district heating supplier is considered. The amount of avoided emissions varies depending on which district heating supplier is considered and in some cases the energy saving measure can causes more emissions compared to no measure.The recommendation form the author is to go through with the measure Insulation of attic since it decreases the energy consumption and is economically profitable Furthermore, it is recommended to investigate how the measures New windows and balcony doors and FTX would affect the financial worth of the reference building, since that may cause those measures to be profitable.

The thesis deals with a proposed layout of a multi-storey apartment building on the territory of the town of České Budějovice. The thesis contains a literary overview to inform the reader about the issues of design documents, analysis of the land use plan for the corporate town of České Budějovice in connection with the building location and, last but not least, related design documents in agreement with the applicable decree. The objective of this thesis was to develop the design documents meeting the low energy consumption standard, i.e. meeting all current requirements for modern and energy-saving construction projects, in terms of the appearance, employed technologies and materials. An integral part of the results is a placement of the project in a suitable location, as outlined by the land use plan. The thesis is concluded with an evaluation of the architectural and structural solution and of the selected materials in respect to the low energy consumption standard of the building.

This thesis deals with the issue of re-use of brownfields. The main aim of the thesis is to find the best possible use of a specific brownfield in the city of Brno. The subject of this draft is a brownfield called Bývalý hotel Metropol located in the Brno district of Trnitá. The draft solution is based on analyzes of the given site and is elaborated in three possible variants which are evaluated in therm of implementation costs and expected returns.

The master thesis deals with structural analyzing of timber house structure. In the thesis, two variants are discussed with detailed focus on one of them. The chosen variant is made up by platform frame system. This system is getting more popular in the Czech Republic.

The aim of this diploma thesis will be to create a plan for maintenance and repairs of the building on the street of the brothers Čapků in Brno. The first part will describe the individual concepts dealing with the life of individual structural elements, maintenance and repair and revisions of dedicated technical equipment. The second part will be focused on practice. A plan for maintenance and repairs of the building structures and a plan for revisions and inspections on the dedicated technical equipment will be prepared for the given building. The proposed plan will be designed to spread the funds over the whole period considered.

Remember the Future is a typological addition to the renowned Stockholm suburb of Fittja, an area built during the Million Programme in the early 70’s, and the project tries to weave itself into this unfashionable urban fabric. Fittja’s different building types share a strong common language, they remind us of a family, a group of siblings, all of the same generation. Our project enacts the return of a lost sibling, raised under very different circumstances, but unmistakably of the same blood, and its return changes the family dynamic forever. / Remember the Future är ett typologiskt tillägg till den ontalade Stockholmsförorten Fittja, byggd under Miljonprogrammet på tidigt 70-tal, och projektet försöker tråckla sig in i denna otidsenliga stadsväv. Fittjas olika byggnadstyper delar ett utpräglat gemensamt språk, de påminner om en familj, en syskonskara, alla från samma generation. Projektet iscensätter återkomsten av ett förlorat syskon, uppväxt under helt andra förutsättningar men tveklöst av samma blod, och dess återkomst förändrar familjedynamiken för alltid.

It is a project of a complex consisting of an apartment building for the elderly, supplemented by a commercial area of the restaurant and the adjoining park area with sports areas for children's, multipurpose, workout and for seniors focused playgrounds. In the immediate vicinity are new family houses and recreational objects of a garden character. The area is a transition between the historic center and the free outpost of the village. The proposed buildings reflect their tradition of folk architecture, preserving the "genius loci" of the village and beyond the edict of the monumental institute.

The diploma thesis deals with an urban study and the design of a new residential structure in Kopřivnice. The city has not solved housing construction for the last 30 years, therefore it lacks housing development subject to current trends. The aim and motivation of the design was to create a new location that will be attractive not only for its residents but also for the surrounding area. A location that will offer housing, leisure activities and people.
