Distinctive rich colors in the spirit of the Czech tricolor became the main element of the interior of the apartment in the center of Prague. And if you're wondering, yes, it's rental housing. That is why originality and at the same time practicality was an important element of the design. Why the tricolor? The author mentions that he gained the courage for bold colors in the interior while traveling in South American countries, especially in Mexico.

When creating the design, it was important for the author to find the right ratio between the size of the new floor and the space below it, so that the airiness of the entire space is preserved.

“The whole new internal structure is highlighted in deep blue. And as already mentioned, in contrast to the blue, the color used in the hall is deep red," says the architect.

The living space is connected to the terrace, which serves as an additional room in the summer. Because the terrace offers enough space, it has been divided into different height levels. The upper level is more in the sun and invites you to lounge on the comfortable seating furniture. The lower level, which is almost in contact with the kitchen, functions as a summer dining room.

The modern interior with a loft touch is designed to be practical and comfortable. Equipment, furniture and accessories are a combination of brand new items and items that the owner already had. It was enough to reupholster an armchair or a dining chair, and the furniture for the grandparents gained a new life. The design works with mottos such as ReThink and ReUse, which the architect has been applying in his work for a long time.

Area: 35m2
Implementation: 2023

For a more pleasant climate, especially in the summer months, gravel cassettes (note MobiRoof ECO) were used on the terrace. These cartridges are already pre-grown, i.e. immediately green. Selection of drought-loving stonecrops does not require irrigation with potable water.
