Reconstruction of an apartment in Prague

Designing and implementing interiors is a specific activity that only women can handle well. This is probably due to their analytical approach. Women are more practical, conscientious, and meticulous. For example, can you recall the name of a male architect whose interior is perfected? On the other hand, we can find many female architects with outstanding interiors around us - Eva Jiřičná, Barbora Škorpilová, Daniela Palubědová, and the Brno staple Markéta Veselá. The fact that this is not an insightful discovery is evidenced, for instance, by the mysterious interwar collaboration between Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand or Mies's forgotten partner Lilly Reich. Only women know how to design interiors.
I don't know if investors knew this when choosing the architect for their apartment, but their choice was certainly the right one. Architect Veselá fondly recalls her work on Ovenecká. She and the investor hit it off immediately at their first meeting. The builder's budget allowed for solutions and materials that belong to the luxury category. While the carefully considered design faced some initial issues due to the poor work of the construction contractor, Moravian craftsmen were able to handle the significant inaccuracies, and today everything is perfected down to the smallest detail.
When I entered the interior of the apartment for the first time together with the architect, I felt like I was “behind the mirror.” I was surrounded by a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Not any trendy minimalism, but genuine functioning modernity. The visitor is naturally guided into the largest sunlit living space, where the kitchen smoothly transitions through the dining area to the living room. Two wings of bedrooms with amenities are located on the opposite side of the layout. While the architect explains her spatial concept of modulation 3, I am captivated walking through the apartment on massive wenge flooring (!!!), stroking travertine, checking the quality of the plaster painted in a rich wine color, and leaving my fingerprints on the ethnic veneer of the furniture. There follows a heart-stopping moment in the bathroom clad in onyx (!!!) (even on the floor!!!) and about a five-minute play with the lighting switch. The children's rooms are painted yellow, and the dark veneer of the furniture adds to their charming character.
The lady investor serves coffee at the dining table, the central element of the entire composition of the living room. However, I find myself at a loss for words during the conversation and leave the women to their discussion about fabrics, silently allowing myself to be swept away by the surroundings. I try to find the most fitting word, and I like harmony. That terrible Germanism gesamtkunstwerk. Everything is perfect, but it is not overwhelming. On the contrary, it feels natural. It is neither too much nor too little. It is amazing. More women in architecture.
