The entire store is lined with an endless strip - a "path" that unifies the complicated space and guides customers. At the same time, due to its 3D shape, it allows for the presentation of the offered goods and their storage in lockers built into the strip. The strip also serves as a sales counter, a place for the cash register, a bar, goods intake service, and last but not least, as benches for resting or trying on shoes.
This is an existing residential building in the built-up area of the MČ Prague 7 with 5 above-ground and 1 underground floors, with extensions in the courtyard. In the 1930s, the Factory for the Production of Cosmetic Preparations of Mr. Frant. Vítka was located here. The courtyard is partially covered with roofing. The subject of the project is the reconstruction and construction modifications of the existing store on the ground floor of the building and the addition of two-story adjacent administrative-storage spaces. The store is accessible directly from Na Maninách street.
The focus of the store is the sale of sports equipment, clothing, and other sports needs - especially for cycling and cross-country skiing. The operation of the store is still in the hands of Mr. Vítka's family.
The architectural solution respects the character of the existing building. Part of the reconstruction involved replacing windows facing Na Maninách street, including repairing the adjacent façade at the level of the 1st floor. Existing window sills facing Na Maninách street have been lowered to the base of the building. The facades are plastered, with wooden windows in graphite gray color.
The layout solution of the existing store has not been changed - the interior of the existing store has been completely renovated, and the spaces will be visually more connected into one whole.
The extension to the store directly connects. On the ground floor, there is part of the sales area, a fitting room, and a storage room. The office is located on the 2nd floor. The office will have panoramic windows around its perimeter. The commercial unit will newly include facilities for employees, which will be located separately from the store in the existing storage room (the room originally served as a guard's apartment) on the ground floor.
