/realization 2017/

DISPOSITION

The apartment is located in the Little Monastery residence, in the building of an old monastery from the 17th century. Its current layout is 4+kk. There are two bathrooms, a dressing room, a bedroom, a children's room and a living room with a kitchenette. The apartment has 100m2.

Berker Serie 1930 | Bakelit | white PURE FUNCTIONALITY  Berker and Bauhaus are not only the same age (both were founded in 1919), but they also share the same passion for pure shapes and functionality.. Both qualities enthral clients and planners, even today. And, because of this, the unique, Bauhaus-inspired Berker Serie 1930 can be found not only in timeless, classic buildings like Villa Tugendhat, but also in trendy properties, such as the Hotel "Soho" and "25hrs Bikini" in Berlin.

CONCEPT

Living in the center of Prague and at the same time like in the village? A location close to modern new buildings and yet with such a strong loci genius? Atmosphere over uniform white practicality? Yes Yes Yes!

The original ideas of the brave owners were completely different from our final design. It developed dramatically during construction-archeological works. The historic wooden ceiling and original frescoes were hidden above the plasterboard ceiling. We could not leave this historical trace hidden and left its revival to restorers. We contrasted the decorative fragments with raw and industrial elements and materials in combination with modern solitaires.

LIVING ROOM WITH KITCHEN AREA

The tall kitchen unit is covered by a door with a concrete surface in black. The kitchen island is covered with stainless steel mirror plates. Mirroring is then an illusory game.

BEDROOM

There was once a chapel in the bedroom area. Here, together with the window, it is possible to separate it with a curtain that covers the perimeter walls of the bedroom. Behind the curtains, a scene covered by a curtain is created.

BEDROOM

Each of the bathrooms is completely in a different spirit. In the first one, we used a renovated historic bathtub. In the second bathroom, the dominant feature is the tropical wood panel in contrast with the concrete surface of the walls and the stainless steel toilet.

CLOAKROOM

The apartment includes a small dressing room. Here, too, we discovered the original frescoes.
