The apartment of 121 m² is located in the building Haštalská 4, no. 479 in the Old Town of Prague 1.
The affected building is a representative rental residential building from 1902, constructed according to the plans of builder Jan Hugo Dvořák for Václav Havel. In 1929, an atelier with an apartment for academic painter Ženíšek was established in the attic space, and it was only in the 1990s that another attic apartment was built.
The aim of the reconstruction of the duplex attic apartment was primarily to rectify unsuitable construction modifications from 2007. By placing a full-glass wall with sliding doors into the room at the courtyard façade, and especially by installing a new skylight in the kitchen, the missing adequate lighting in the ground floor of the duplex was achieved. By opening the entrance space to the living area, removing drywall partitions, revealing wooden roofing parts, and using light pastel color shades in combination with black, an immediate pleasant change in the entire interior was accomplished. Both the original bathrooms on the ground floor and the upper level were modernized, featuring large-format ceramics in shades of gray and black. Throughout the apartment, furniture was designed and manufactured at the client's request in a modern simple style with soft color tones combined with oak veneer, effectively and practically filling the interior.
