The apartment is located in Karlovy Vary, near the colonnade, with a view of a green hillside, in a historic building with several preserved elements from the time when apartments were spacious and charming. The main goal was to remove layers of various structures, claddings, false ceilings, and layout changes, to clean up the passages and restore their original dimensions. Thanks to a high level of trust and mutual respect with the investor, we were able to create openings, remove doors, and add glass skylights to a large extent. We eliminated connecting rooms and designed a more contemporary layout with two separate bedrooms and a connected living core. In the living areas, we focused on illuminating the layout and creating an open space. The kitchen was placed in a newly created niche between the kitchen and living room, and the two rooms are connected by a serving window, which was often seen in such spacious apartments. In the bedrooms, we preserved the original wooden floors and refurbished them. The bathroom features a spacious irregularly shaped shower area, a washbasin, and a toilet. A minimum of materials and a unifying design flow throughout the entire space, creating a calm atmosphere in the apartment. The original painted ceilings and walls are revealed through the kitchen unit, creating prominent, subtle, and delicately coloured images in each room.

The aim of the apartment reconstruction in Karlovy Vary was to restore the original character and charm of a once generous historic apartment near the colonnade. By removing layers of added structures and cladding, we uncovered attractive plasterwork and decorated ceilings. This brightened and opened up the layout of the apartment, partially regaining its original spaciousness. We opted for a minimalist design in the bathroom and kitchen, intending to highlight the living areas and bedroom. The heating system in the apartment was also addressed, with old wall-mounted heaters on the facade being replaced by radiators and an electric boiler. Similarly, the electrical wiring in the apartment was adapted to the new layout and usage, taking a considerate and minimalist approach, especially considering the discovered plasterwork and ceilings.
