In 1919, the realization of one of the Cubist houses of architect Otakar Novotný began at the interface of Prague's Old Town and Josefov. Exactly 100 years later, in this house we entered an apartment of 108 m², on which the decades of the last century resented the signing. The interior was supposed to create a space that would take a person out of everyday life. It was to offer simply the concept of walls, combinations of materials, colors, sensitive artificial lighting solutions and arrangement of scene furniture, which in themselves would be paintings and do not need further decoration. A natural drawing of stone, wood, fabric and metal is enough.

The intention of the interior design was not to go back a hundred years, but, as in the time of the First Republic, to work handily with every detail, carefully selecting materials, shapes and decorations. Create a space that reflects the style of the house, its inner character without sentiment, but offered all the attributes of the current standard of living. The reconstruction of the apartment required, in particular, an adjustment of the layout. The apartment contained small walk-through rooms, unsuitable sanitary facilities, the kitchen was separated by an entrance hall from the dining room and living area. With gentle interventions, we managed to acquire the main open living space, preserve a spacious entrance hall with a conservatory and create two bedrooms. Brass, oak in a smoky design and natural marble became the main interconnecting material. Large-format marble slabs appear in various corners of the apartment.
