The story of the apartment with a glass footbridge began years ago during the reconstruction of a neighboring house with a pharmacy Na Špitálku at Toulovec Square. An extremely narrow apartment was build up over a passage (in between an old townhouse from the beginning of the 20th century – today's pharmacy – and a Hussite prayer house) complementing the street row of the square. During the renovation of the house with the pharmacy in 2009-2011, we cleaned the yard and designed a medical facility that uses the basement. A joint terrace was created for the originally reconstructed apartment building, which was connected to the narrow apartment above the medical needs building. The roof and the facade were renovated, windows were replaced, and the apartment remained unfinished for many years. The remodeling of the interior started in 2020.

The key to the interior solution was placing a bathroom, toilet, and storage space under the staircase. A bedroom with a large casement window lies towards the square. A kitchen is placed towards the courtyard and has access to the terrace. The wooden oak floor is a connecting element of the lower space. Wood also appears on the linearly rasterized ceiling, which makes the shaping of the roof planes stand out and passes up to the bed grate located at the lowest point of the attic. Wood creates the boundary of the space into which we inserted other materials in shades of gray. The only color brings sunlight penetrating through the yellow spectrum of the glazed footbridge. Intensity and tonality vary according to the seasons and the time of day. The arches of the walled windows inconspicuously appear in the shape of the stair railings. The apartment is a loft and a cottage, a place of escape from the big city and a space for unusual experiences.
