Project Description:
Interior for a family with small kids
A bright apartment in a new building with large terraces and views of Prague. Where one cooks, eats, and works, where children play, watch TV, read, create, and sleep.
As part of the overhaul of the layout, we first separated a chunk of the living room and made it into a study, playroom, and guest room in one, to settle the overly monumental apartment into a more practical area for family living. This added another layer of potential living constellations, peppered with the ability to monumentalize the space at any time by opening large sliding doors that can disappear seamlessly behind a large bookcase. Step by step, the dwelling was then equipped with furniture designed to suit the apartment and its occupants, whether it was a dining table and bench, a dressing room or valet stand with a mirror, a kitchen, a bar, work desks, a bedroom or play areas for children.
A good architectural design always includes a well-coordinated technical infrastructure: heating elements, ventilation grids for recuperation, closures and switchboards under doors of all kinds, metering, and controls. Media connections. In this respect, interiors in new builds are always a challenge. Among other things, it is precisely the constraints posed by the already completed technical infrastructure that must be accommodated, which usually follows some straightforward technical solutions. The observant and technically knowledgeable observer will therefore not miss the ventilated heating cowls, hidden extractor hood routes, or media connections that had to be adapted to.
