Escape to the City 1-bedroom apartment renovation, 32m2

The reconstruction of the apartment in Libeň into an unconventional and stylish place for sleeping and relaxation was a challenge. The goal was to create a space that would not only be comfortable but also full of unusual and original elements.

One of the elements of this renovation were skylights, which not only connect the individual rooms but also provide natural lighting throughout the apartment. Thanks to them, a cozy and bright atmosphere is created, inviting for rest and relaxation.

The minimalist layout of the apartment consists of three zones that complement each other perfectly. In the first zone, you will find the bathroom and the entrance area with storage spaces. The central zone offers a kitchenette with a bar seating. And finally, in the third zone, there is the living and sleeping area, open through an extended passage opening, replacing the original standard doors. This element ensures a seamless transition between the different rooms and complements the originally generous, lofty heights.

The key feature of the interior is the dark green stucco plaster, which appears in various aspects on both the structural and furniture parts of the interior, visually separating and highlighting different areas in the apartment. This green aspect creates a specific atmosphere and connects the individual zones into a whole.

This apartment is a great example of how living space can be completely transformed while remaining practical, comfortable, and full of character. Through the combination of an unconventional approach and striking elements such as lighting, we have created a space full of visual experiences that provide the perfect combination of relaxation and modern urban style.

Reconstruction of a residential unit in a residential building from the early 20th century.

The separate unit was previously handed over as a "shell and core," so a complete renovation of vertical and horizontal structures was required, including plastering, preparation for laying oak parquet flooring, and ceramic tiling. The electrical installation and plumbing underwent a complete transformation.

Newly inserted structures consist of gypsum board partitions with clerestory windows.
