APARTMENT IN VOKOVICE

About the Project

The brief for the apartment in Prague’s Vokovice district was to create a bold interior that would stand on its own—requiring no further embellishment. We relied on high-quality materials whose colour, form, and texture define the character of the entire space.

This fifth-floor apartment with a 3-room layout (3+kk) came with a predefined floor plan, as part of a newly completed residential development. We were invited to join the project at an advanced stage and made adjustments to better reflect the client's needs. Some non-load-bearing walls were repositioned, and openings were added to others to allow more natural light into the space. The rooms are now more open and can be connected or divided as needed using sliding doors. Two cats also share the home, and their comfort and safety were considered from the initial design phase. A terrace runs along the entire eastern façade of the apartment. The client’s wish was for a bold interior that would feel complete without the need for additional decoration. We focused on high-quality materials whose colour, form, and surface texture define the apartment’s character. This role of materials was approached with a sense of generosity—the structure and rhythm of diverse elements tie the spaces together, creating a simple yet carefully layered continuity. A bronze-coloured kitchen is paired with a sculptural light-stone island, which visually links to stone shelves in the study and to the wall cladding in the bathroom and WC.

+ Visualisation

A green stone basin found in the bathroom appears again in the living room. The veneer used on the wardrobe fronts continues onto the wall between the study and the bedroom. Between the hallway and the study, a thick profiled glass partition introduces a unique atmosphere to the room when lit.

The interior was completed with pieces by emerging Czech designers and brands. The “Cheers” sofa by studio JanskyDundera anchors the living room and appears in different modules in the study as well. The kitchen is complemented by the deep blue YKB light by Jiří Krejčiřík, a striking blend of glass and wood. Krejčiřík also contributed a coffee table and vanity table to the space. Outdoor furniture was provided by the Czech brand Todus.
