The interior of the Prague district at Vinohrady represents an unusual combination of modern Japanese minimalism, and parametric interior design while implementing traditional Czech motives.

Inspiration from contemporary Japanese architecture
The interior uses elements inspired by contemporary Japanese design, by implementing the use of simple lines, natural materials, simplicity, colour unification, and open spaces with centrally located elements at the dining table, creating a meeting point.

Using parametric design
Some parts of the interior (table compositions, adjustable shelving system, and bookcases) were designed using so-called computational or parametric design. These elements bring geometric and functional dynamics, variability, and adaptability to the interior.

Traditional Czech elements
Traditional Bohemian motives complement the spare and elegant design. These elements show through handmade decorative ceramic tiles, natural design lamps, or traditional Czech furniture. Creating a coziness and homely atmosphere.

This interior uniquely showcases, how in variety of design styles can be combined into a harmonious whole, resulting in a space that is unique, and aesthetically pleasing, while being practical and purposeful. The apartment is evidence, that it is possible to blend cleanliness and modesty while creating a cosy atmosphere.

The layout is based on the limits of the original layout of the reconstructed apartment. The linear orientation is used for the optimal placement of different functional operations. The central corridor is flanked by rooms serving as a cloakroom, toilet, utility room, laundry and bathroom. The corridor is also perceived as a storage space, which is provided by large built-in joinery cupboards on one side, with an adjustable shelving wall on the other. The character of the entire hallway was an important theme throughout the design. The place, which is very often used by the residents of the apartment, becomes an unusually pleasant space.

The centre of the interior is the main living room with an area of 51 m2, which is designed as a maximally open space in which the kitchen, dining room and living room intermingle. The natural movement of users of this space inspired the design of the curved elements of the sizeable kitchen island, the main dining table and the smaller coffee table. The triptych of these elements in the space accentuates the freedom of movement and use of this main room.
