Smichov Natural Apartment | Iva Hajkova
Prague / Czech Rep. / 2023
The apartment is located in the Smíchov Neugraf project, a modern townhouse with industrial elements that refer to the historic printing house in Graficka Street. The house shows its industrial face in large areas of concrete, dark windows, a simple gray facade, and metal elements.
Appearance of the house it is hard, feeling uncomfortable, but at the same time visually clean and timeless. The Smichov district with its modern office buildings, which is pulsating with the surrounding infrastructure and fast life, does not contribute to the feeling of coziness. Our task was to create a pleasant, peaceful space with natural materials, a welcoming home environment. The view from the large French window to the roofs and facades of the old tenements, the trees and the sky provides a relaxing overview from the daily bustle of the streets. For investors who love good hikes in nature and the apartment is not a cottage in a big city. The concept of the Smichovska NEchata is reflected in the choice of materials and principles inspired by a stay in a pleasant cottage.
We respond to the industrial character of the building with lightness and subtlety. The floor and ceiling of the apartment are defined by wood. Other elements are kept minimalistic in white, black and light grey. Wood gives minimalism a warm coziness. Natural materials are applied in their rawest state. The stone slab is left chipped at the edges, the ceramic lights handcrafted just for this project are perfectly imperfect, the clay plaster is textured and mottled. The natural framework is complemented by subtle ones
black elements such as a metal bookcase, chandelier and handles.
