URBAN HOUSING NA KNÍŽECÍ

Smíchov used to be called Prague Manchester. Now it is not only one of the most important economical centres of Prague, but also one of the most desired places to live. However, the modern housing developments are not affordable for a young family. The design offers one of the ways to affordable and sustainable housing in the city. Nevertheless, a house is not just a machine for living – life itself is more important. I use a family house concept for an apartment building. The whole house develops from the central space, like a living room, which is connected to various functions, commercial and common areas. This all is wrapped in apartments. I create the space for life, opportunities for meeting with neighbours, spending time together, work and relax.
