The aim of the Lužická 4 apartment building project is to integrate the new building into the terrain of the Kraví Hora hillside on the edge of the Žabovřesky cadastral area and the gardening colony. The new building responds to the terrain and at the same time grows out of the context of the so-called Czech Civil Service District - i.e. the upper Žabovřesky, where the urban structure of the interwar period of the second half of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s dominates. Typical elements of modernist aesthetics are complemented by a series of motifs of cylinders, arches, bay windows and a fine vocabulary of architectural language, which has been well preserved in the area to the present day. The aim was to design the apartment building in such a way that it would create a contemporary tribute to the qualities of the environment and its creators - and at the same time act as a villa building. The purpose of the form is to suppress the features of an apartment building in favor of a villa-type residential building.
