Residential Villa Bubeneč

The original Art Nouveau villa in the garden of a residential neighborhood, built in the early 20th century as a family residence. Reconstructed during World War II. Behind the house was originally a stable and laundry.
The goal of the reconstruction was to create three residential apartments. The duplex apartment was formed by connecting the basement and the ground floor with a spiral concrete staircase. An English courtyard was added towards the street, and the terrain was lowered by approximately one meter towards the garden – to the level of the basement floor. A ground-floor bedroom level with French windows was created.
The attic apartment with ribbon windows overlooks the treetops in the surrounding gardens. A terrace with a glazed sliding wall expands the living space. Inserted structures are clad in oak veneer, with smooth cast floors.
The stable has been replaced with a monolithic reinforced concrete shelter for parking three vehicles, a storage area for garden tools and wood.
A communal garden with seating on a wooden deck and a summer kitchen in the original gazebo.

Technical data — The building is heated centrally with a system of gas boilers from a shared boiler room with individual measurement and regulation.
The apartments are equipped with a low-voltage "smart home" system that controls heating, lighting, audio, and video.
Dewatering of the project was carried out using a chemical injection system, by laying a new horizontal waterproofing and drainage system. Sanitary plaster has been applied in the basement. Dewatering is supported by the insertion of English courtyards and lowering the adjacent terrain.
