The sloping plot on the 5. Máje Street is situated in a residential area with detached houses near the Brouček Forest Park and the Motol Cemetery. The accessibility is from the Plzeňská street.
The design of the condo respects the urban structure of the original development. The architectural level of the design, the solution of details and the choice of materials used all observe the integration of new, contemporary designed buildings into the existing surroundings.
The priority of the assignment was to create a pleasant environment of the house and individual apartments with a high standard of offered spaces and details. The emphasis is on achieving a high degree of individuality in the layout, promoting mutual independence, a sense of intimacy and privacy of the apartments.
The condo is divided into two symmetrical parts with four duplex flats and two apartments. Each duplex has a separate entrance and its own garden. With these attributes and other design details, the standard of living in the condo is deliberately brought closer to the standard of living in a family house.
The condo has 2 full floors above ground, one retreating and one underground floor. The entrance to the property is in the northern, lowest corner. The exit leads directly to the underground garage, where there are 10 parking spaces. A stacker can be used for the first five stalls, increasing the capacity to 15 stalls. There are also 6 cubicles - one for each apartment. The access to the ground floor is either via an access ramp or side staircase.
On the ground floor level, there are separate entrances to the duplex apartments and a common entrance to the apartments located on the retreating floor above the duplexes. The layout of the duplex apartments is similar. The vestibule opens into the central hall, which continues into the living area, the bathroom with toilet and the stairs to the second floor.
The living space is divided into a kitchen area, dining room and living room. The dining room and living room provide access to a private terrace and garden. The rear apartments have a swimming pool in the garden.
The stairs ascend to the second floor. There is a central hall, which offers separate entrances to three bedrooms and a bathroom with toilet. The total layout of the duplex apartment is four rooms and a kitchen.
The apartments are also designed as four rooms and a kitchen. The bedroom floor is half a floor higher; this stepping creates an elevated space in the area and adds to its generosity.
The structural design of the house is combined. The basement is made as a reinforced concrete white tub. The building is based on a foundation slab 400mm thick. The structural system of the upper building is a wall system with reinforced concrete floor slabs. The walls are made of acoustic ceramic fittings 300mm thick.
