Královice lies on the south-eastern edge of the city of Prague. The village lies on both banks of the Rokytka stream. Its dominant features are the medieval fortress and the church of St. Margaret. The buildings of the village consist almost exclusively of family houses and farm buildings. The Rokytka valley was declared a protected area in 1990. The farmstead is situated on a hill above the Rokytka stream in the north-eastern part of the village. The courtyard has an irregular outline, with average dimensions of about 115 x 90 m with buildings around the perimeter.
The whole area of the fortress has been registered as an immovable cultural monument in the Central List of Cultural Monuments and is in the Královice conservation zone of the City of Prague.
The main objectives of the revitalization of the Královice Fortress area were to save the devastated cultural monument, to rehabilitate the fortress buildings and the farmyard and to create a new centre of the Královice district. The existing buildings were thus given a new content: gallery, services, restaurant. Six new family houses were built on the site of the unpreserved warehouse and cowshed buildings on Pešíkova Street, which close the area. Around the middle of the courtyard, the remains of a water tank were converted into a pond (retention basin). The overall intention of the project was to connect the past and the present to form new and timeless space for life.

The new family houses are roofed with a traditional gable roof with a wooden truss and baked ceramic roofing. The perimeter brickwork is rhythmically divided by vertical and horizontal lines of lysene, the plaster is lime-cement. The traditional building materials and morphology had been used, but conceived in a contemporary spirit.
