Reconstruction of an apartment in Prague 7 in Letná

The original apartment unit on the ground floor of the tenement house from 1938 by architect Jan Gillar did not meet the demands of modern living. The unbalanced layout (lack of a kitchen, storage space, inefficient placement of openings) lacked the nobility of interwar housing evident in the design of the apartments on the upper floors of this building and did not correspond to the generosity of the façade with large-format bands of windows.

The comprehensive modification of the space took place in three conceptual levels:
1) By adjusting the layout, a proportionately balanced kitchen and storage background was created while maintaining the original locations of the living spaces;
2) Updating the technical equipment, electrical installations, and sanitary facilities;
3) Material unification and spatial solution of an open living space model with associated service facilities (bathroom, wardrobe, laundry room).

Through spatial adjustment and integration of the equipment, a living concept is created with maximum visual clarity and a degree of variability that meets the owner's needs for a quiet and balanced living space in the city center.
