The concept responds to the current way of life, where people are looking for housing in easily accessible urban locations and are moving part of their daily activities outside their own apartment. We are therefore designing the house as a combination of compact apartments and extensive shared facilities. We are based on the principles of the traditional Prague urban structure, its scale, the modulation of facades and the relationship to public space. We do not want to simply quote these principles, but to translate them into contemporary architecture. The identity of the house is created by a plastically modeled facade divided into smaller modules that refer to the scale of Prague apartment buildings. The risalites divide the facade, bring more light into the apartments and at the same time create more protected places in contact with the street on the ground floor.
For us, a house does not end with the doors of individual apartments. Shared facilities expand the living options with places for work, relaxation, meeting and movement. The same principle continues on the roof, where a garden with views and living areas set in greenery and around a water feature is created. The ground floor, on the other hand, opens the house towards the city through operations and services for residents and the wider area. The design also includes contemporary art in public space, which becomes part of the architecture and identity of the house.
