AETERNAE LIBRIS

Annotation

The accommodation for visiting professors and students of the Faculty of Theology of Charles University in the Academic Colony in Dejvice combines the private life of the residents with a utilitarian function for the university and other students. A spacious unique staircase, that is also a library, runs through the entire building. In a sort of upward spiral the staircase is followed by study rooms, a universal rentable room for the needs of the university and a total of 4 apartments. On the ground floor there are student rooms and their living room, while the top floor houses a meditation or prayer area for the residents to rest. The house also has a pitched roof which provides a view not only of the railway, but also of the entire Ořechovka district.
