Bytový dům Na Plzeňce

The idea of the design is to design simple, functional apartment house into the area of Smíchov in Prague, near Smíchovské nádraží.

Bytový dům na Plzeňce is located in Prague - Smichov, between two other houses, in the street na Plzeňce. The apartment building has 8 floors, a total of 26 apartments of sizes 1 + kk to 3 + 1, with commercial space on the ground floor. Entrance to the residential part, commercial space, and the entrance to the common garage is from the north side, from Na Plzeňce street. The street facade is articulated by frames supporting the verticality of the house, which is typical of the surrounding of the building. The same principle is used on the southern façade towards the courtyard. In order to support the principle of vertical frames, some terraces are recessed and set off by the darker colour of the plastering.

The construction is a brick house with prefab ceilings and stairs. Wooden elements on the south façade serve to screen the residential spaces, the shading elements on the street facade are projected into the cladding of the recessed parts between the frames. On the south façade, the railings are aluminium and the same as on the street façade is made of mesh. The shared garages are at 1st floor level, this provides the residents of the 2nd floor the possibility of a terrace with greenery to the courtyard. The receding last floor has a roof on the north side membrane structure. The cornices that have been created horizontal frames are planted with grass.
