Renovation of the interior of the family house in Na Lhotách
The house, or rather half of a duplex, is part of the residential complex "Na Lhotách" designed by the ADR office in 2006-08.
For a young couple who found living on the outskirts of Prague unsuitable, the concept of low terraced and family houses, especially near the metro and all civic amenities, was ideal. The task was to resolve the interior of the house so that it met their new requirements for life in a small house in the city.
The clients like functionalist design and architecture; they are fans of both classical and modern art.
Even before starting cooperation with the architect, the owners decided to eliminate the garage, as they only need a parking space on their own land in front of the house. They divided the acquired space into a kitchen, a dressing room, and a storage area, so the ground floor now only serves a residential function along with the necessary sanitary facilities.
The core idea of the interior became functionalist design; inspiration from materials and forms is evident in the entrance hallway. I used travertine cladding, a Barcelona chair in black leather by Mies van der Rohe, a mirror in a chrome tubular frame, and a console table.
From the hallway, one passes into the main living space around a library that also serves as a partition separating the dining area from the entrance. The tall library has shelves of varying heights, supported by glass supports to emphasize horizontal lines.
In the living space, the front wall features travertine cladding and is furnished with minimal furniture. It includes sofas from their former home, new horizontal cabinets, and a coffee table made from bent tubes. A large painting by a contemporary young painter dominates the space.
The kitchen is built-in with all standard features. I placed a cooking island centrally, which transitions into the dining table. Due to a lack of storage space, I also created a shallow cabinet for glasses and mugs against the inner wall. This also cleverly concealed a poorly positioned electrical switchboard.
The cooking island features drawers with full extensions and a built-in wine fridge. The cooktop made of white glass visually blends in with the white countertop made of durable corralite, of which both the kitchen island and dining table were made. The kitchen cabinet doors were made of shiny white high-pressure laminate. Self-supporting tubular dining chairs with oak veneer seats are from the Bystřice company Kovonax. They also provided other customized chrome tubular structures used in the interior.
In the study, there is tubular furniture, chairs with armrests, a replica of the famous K10 type in traditional blue functionalist color (Kovonax), and an atypical desk with a small drawer. The chest of drawers with corian handles is from Amos design, and the desk lamp is an Artemide Tolomeo.
In the bedroom, the built-in wardrobes run the full length of both shorter walls, with the bed in the middle. Its back also serves as a built-in wardrobe, visually dividing the space into a bedroom and dressing room. Niches on the sides replace bedside tables, and above the bed is another niche with LED lighting for placing a painting. There are also built-in, foldable small lights behind the bed. A TV is hidden behind folding doors opposite the bed. The entire bedroom is in light gray.
