A renovation that restores the building’s original character

On the corner of Dittrichova and Náplavní streets, just a few steps from Jirásek Square and the Vltava embankment, stands a building you can’t miss. Its facades meet at a sharp angle, and the corner is crowned by a slender turret. The renovation restores its original form, bringing it back into harmony with the rest of the block.

Inside, we will preserve the original historic features that bear the imprint of decades of its story: the entrance hall, the staircase with its original wrought-iron railing, the doors and the stucco details in the apartments. The lift will be wrapped in a delicate metal casing that complements the building’s history rather than competing with it. Across six floors, twenty-nine apartments will take shape, from smaller homes for one to spacious family apartments on the corner, with windows overlooking two streets.

At the very top, beneath the roof, are three generous apartments. Here, under sloping ceilings, brick walls and timber beams meet the light pouring in through the skylights. A staircase leads further up to the roof, to terraces set among the tiles, filled with greenery and views across Prague’s spires.

Bleached oak, terrazzo and olive tones build on the building’s character rather than rewriting it. We are restoring it with care, so that it can serve its residents today and for decades to come.
