In this project, through texture, color and light, we tried to achieve a feeling of natural, pacifying space.

A radical remodel of a 1990s attic apartment in Prague Libeň. We are in the attic of a 1930s townhouse in Prague Libeň. An apartment was built here in the 1990s. But there were too many rooms, more than the client needed, anyway. The joy of open attic space was lost in the clutter. Our task was to find it again.
