The modifications of the apartment in the functionalist building in Prague's Vinohrady district, which was designed by the Petráš brothers in 1932, continue its characteristic rounded shaping (steamer corners, arched partitions, fabions) and further develop this motive.

The original layout with a large hallway, a small pass-through living room and a separate kitchen has been replaced by a more spacious layout with three rooms and ample storage space in according to contemporary requirements.

The surviving original elements (doors with frames, fittings and fillings, cast-iron heating elements or glass tiles) were then retained, refurbished and supplemented with new ones (glass mosaic tiles, ceramic switches, built-in furniture, light fittings), which relate in their colour, finish and materials to the time when house was built.
