Difficult project that lasted several years with breaks. Everything was specific given the fact, that the client is our friend (and also an architect). It was necessary to neaten the rather complicated layout in order to accommodate everybody’s needs.
The result are three living units. Two are rental and third is homeowner’s flat. Its main floor consists of WC and closet with laundry chute, kitchen with pantry under the stairs and a spacious living. The staircase extends from the windowsill and is shaped to serve both for upstairs and terrace. On the upper floor there is master bedroom, children room, study on the gallery and main bathroom.

Lightness of space is given by PUR screed on the main floor, warmness by birch plywood on the bedroom floor. Bathroom is clad with grey rubber flooring. Made-to-measure furniture and carpentry in white lacquer and oiled birch plywood is made by Devoto. Invisible frame doors and sliding doors by Bdoors. Matching upholstery and linen curtains custom made by Arthe studio.
