The reconstruction of the apartment in a tenement house in Prague's Holešovice reflects the minimalist souls of its owners. The apartment is generous in its modesty, bright, exuding positive energy, and nothing is lacking or superfluous.

The design process for the 2+1 apartment spanning 75 m² was unusual in its development. Initially, individual furniture elements were addressed—storage spaces for the bedroom and children's room and the kitchen unit. Gradually, an overall solution for the entrance hall, bathroom, children's room, and living spaces was developed, and finally, original hanging lamps for the bedroom were manufactured according to our design. The successful completion of the project down to the last detail was aided by the owner’s willingness and communication, as she was open to experiments and managed to maintain the proposed stylistic line with her interventions. It was important to preserve material restraint. Birch plywood combined with white areas of sprayed MDF boards and black metal elements defines the character of the apartment.
The entrance hall is designed very puristically, allowing the uniqueness of the original floor plan of the apartment to shine through. The entrance corridor, featuring a prominent arched window that lets light in from the common staircase of the residential building, leads into the central space of the apartment, which serves as a junction to the individual rooms and a small balcony overlooking the courtyard of the block construction. The only significant decor comes from the hexagonal tiling, and the sole piece of furniture here is a shoe cabinet that follows the outline of the central space's bend, along with wooden hooks for coats and a mirror.
The bathroom is the result of pragmatic thinking about maximizing the use of a very small space without windows and a complicated layout, where, in addition to the shower and washing area, a utility room with a washing machine, dryer, and storage space for cleaning supplies had to be fitted in. The wall and floor tiles are therefore in light shades, and the upper doors of the furniture cabinet set are mirrored to optically enlarge the space. This way, sufficient space was managed for the comfortable use of the small bathroom. The east-facing bedroom is equipped with a built-in wardrobe that runs the entire length and height of the wall, providing sufficient storage space for the parents. The regular grid of closed cabinets is interrupted by a central, partially closed, shelf library. This is not just an aesthetic element but arises from the room's limitations. The space between the wardrobe and the bed was insufficient for opening doors and passage. Therefore, the shelf library with sliding doors was a result of ergonomic consideration. The upper shelves are accessible via a metal ladder, which can also serve as a "butler" for hanging clothes. The simple bed has two large storage boxes, and in the same style, the nightstands can be easily pulled out and tucked away, again maintaining the elemental nature of this furniture element.
Another door from the corridor leads to the most important room, also oriented to the east. The kitchen nook, dining area, and living room are interconnected in a spacious, well-lit environment where the family gathers, works, cooks, and spends most of their time. The corner white kitchen is again very puristic but extremely functional, offering not only ample storage space but also a comfortable work surface. Modestly, it allows more important attributes, such as the refurbished dining table or the relaxation corner with a sofa, retro armchair, and coffee table, to stand out in the space. Again, the floor itself, the original ash parquet, is a prominent feature. Ash parquet has also been newly laid in the west-facing children's room to visually maintain the apartment's compactness alongside the built-in wardrobe wall. The children's room for a preschooler is custom-designed, with plywood furniture minimally decorated to differ from the rest of the furniture in the apartment. For example, the headboards are perforated with a dot pattern, and above the bed is a shelf for books, secured with rubber bands that creates a "crooked hook." The owner wished to maintain restraint here too, thus leaving open space for the child's creativity. The clean walls are gradually filled with children's drawings, and toys also add a changing array of colors to the room.
