The reconstruction of the apartment in the Art Nouveau building of the First Republic was characterized by generosity. The apartment building itself benefits from its location - an open view from Prague's Žižkov to Prague Castle. For the apartment as such, this means, along with high ceilings, beautiful light unobstructed by any barrier. In this spirit, we tried to design a new form of the apartment. Openness, brightness, nobility. A big surprise for us was the discovery of a vault in the hallway and the future bathroom, which we professionally called the home spa. Here we left the brick exposed, while in the other rooms we restored the period stucco decoration on the ceilings. Oak parquet floors in dark oil contrast the rest of the light. Nautical blue on selected joinery products reminds clients of their hobby at sea.
The reconstruction of the apartment began when the apartment was handed over to the client by the developer in the form of ``white walls''. We partially dismantled the finished partitions and suspended ceilings and cleaned them to bare structures. From this step we got an exposed brick vault. We replaced part of the wall in the bathroom with a glass partition, which optically enlarges the narrow corridor. For the floors, a 3-layer wooden floor in dark oak decor with an oil finish was chosen. Decorative moldings on the floors and stucco elements on the ceilings complement the feeling of the period interior. Handmade tiles from Portugal are used in the bathrooms. The doors are in a coffered design in a matching decor.
