The apartment building, designed on the premises of Hrdlička spol. s r.o., serves to accommodate the employees of the same company during the working week. It is a form of rental housing. The material solution adapts to the surrounding cramped conditions as much as possible, which is why a pentagonal irregular shape with four above-ground floors was designed, which is supplemented by an underground floor serving as a capacity parking lot.

The ground floor serves as a common area and also contains office areas, while the upper floors contain 1+kk and 2+kk apartment units. The top floor is designed to house the company owner's private apartment. The facade is made up of a mosaic of square and rectangular window panels, which harmoniously culminate in the highest point of the building. Given its location at the end of a dead-end street, the building is primarily designed as a single-view building, from the south from the intersection of Za Lužinami and U Cikánky streets. The material solution combines white smooth plaster on the main facade, anthracite-colored aluminum windows, balconies made of exposed concrete and solid wood shading slats. All of this is complemented by a glass railing with a light aluminum handrail and a stainless steel cable railing at the entrance gate, which is then repeated in the interior. The new building is connected to the existing buildings of the complex by a bridge in the northern part of the plot. The elevator crosses all floors, including the last private apartment. All underground parts outside the outline of the above-ground structure are equipped with a green roof, or a dedicated road leading to the rear parts of the complex. The entire building is completely artificially ventilated with heat recovery. The main sources of heat and hot water are air / water heat pumps.
