The house knowingly presents itself as a metropolitan building with fixed street line. Facades with open parterre make these buildings a natural part of the street. Together with the alleyway they create a pleasant city environment, in which wide pavements are a necessity. There are only several houses of this type in this part of the Holešovice district, dating to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and they stand out like ruins after bombardment. Insensitive interventions from the Socialist era, namely transport infrastructure, have nearly destroyed the urban character of the area.

We have designed a house with the state-of-the-art technical equipment and traditional composition, one of the first proud buildings which should help transform Holešovice into a bustling and attractive city district. The inner arrangement of the house is based on a hotel typology. The lower part contains public space, recreational, sporting, and technical equipment, as well as shops and services. There is a wide scale of spaces to serve various needs. There is also a public hall with tables linked directly to the area of the bar. When needed, it can be closed off by sliding walls. The public area is open to the garden. The basic building unit is a suit with bed, writing desk, bathroom and a small kitchen corner. The vertical arrangement is based on the tried and tested three-level scheme: parterre, body (created by rows of windows) and roof (receded floor plan). The recessed floor is covered in oxidized copper sheet.
