The renovation of this apartment on Letná Street focused on keeping and restoring original features like oak floors, double windows, old doors, and high ceilings. We removed parts of older renovations and changed the layout—mainly the kitchen and bedroom—to better fit the needs of the new owner.
The original kitchen faced a quiet courtyard and was small, with two small storage rooms nearby. After removing the walls, the space opened up and was turned into a large bedroom with a walk-in closet.
The bathroom was designed to feel cozy and private, with darker colors. A new window between the bedroom and bathroom created interesting views and made the space feel more open. Mirrors in the bathroom also reflect the light and even allow a view from the shower through the bedroom to the greenery outside.
The kitchen is now connected to the living room through a larger opening and folding doors. It became the central part of the apartment. Both the kitchen and living room face the street and are full of daylight, with nice views of the rooftops in Letná.
The owner loves wood, so it's used a lot in the interior. Many custom furniture pieces were made, like a dining table and wooden light fixtures. A special ceramic sink was also designed for the hallway.
During the renovation, we focused on using high-quality materials such as terrazzo, solid oak flooring, and carefully crafted details. The goal was to create a generous renovation that meets modern needs while preserving the original character and atmosphere of the apartment on Letná.
The apartment has a total area of 97 m².
