Šumperák (officially Rodinný dům typ V, which means Family house type V) is a nickname for a type of single-family detached house in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Its design was created in the 1960s,[1] referring success of the Czechoslovak pavilion at Expo 58 designed in so–called "Brussels style".
The house was designed by a Czech architect Josef Vaněk, firstly for the director of the hospital in a Czech town Šumperk.[2] Later, the design has spread around the country and thousands (more than 4.5 thousands)[3] of them were built, often modified.[4] The design of this two floor house is famous for the balcony, which has two oblique walls on the sides.
