Urban context
The project is located in the Prague 5 – Košíře district, in an area that has undergone a transformation towards a contemporary urban environment in recent years. The Starokošířská Brána and Starokošířská Avenue projects were built in the neighborhood, which together with this residence create a new urban structure. The design respects the street line and the character of the surrounding buildings and its scale naturally follows the existing context. The closed volume of the house completes the street front and contributes to its urban character.
Architectural solution
The building is defined by the vertical rhythm of pillars and horizontal cornices, which give the facade a solid structure and proportional order. This expression is based on the principles of urban architecture – an emphasis on verticality, simplicity and clearly articulated composition. The living rooms facing the street are designed without balconies, with an emphasis on generous window openings. On the other hand, loggias and balconies open into the courtyard, connecting the interior with a quiet courtyard.
Layout and standard
The residence offers 43 residential units of various sizes and one commercial space on the ground floor. The layout of the apartments is designed with an emphasis on functionality, natural light and maximum use of space. The common areas and interiors carry a unified material and aesthetic concept - large-format tiles, bronze accessories and mirrored walls in the entrance hall create a representative atmosphere. The total gross floor area of the building is 3,363 m².
Materials and details
The architecture of the house works with soft colors and high-quality materials that underline its urban character. Light plasters are complemented by metal elements and bronze details in the interior. The whole looks refined and timeless - with an emphasis on proportions, durability and quality of execution.
