Row in Spořilov: They used the small space to the maximum

Article

In the old part of Prague's Spořilov there is a development of family houses with the urban concept of a garden city. Architect Barbořa Kopečná from the Baraak studio was commissioned by the owners to renovate the family house so that it would provide a more comfortable and generous living space. It was not an easy task.

The building is the central part of a trio of terraced houses and has a fixed height with a gable roof. "Through construction modifications and a well-thought-out interior, we still managed to increase the quality of the house, connect it more with the garden and open up some interior spaces," says Barbora Konečná. Look at the result.

The Spořilovský house underwent a major renovation, and the architect proposed the extension of its central ground-floor part. When viewed from the street, the house respects the original building – the window sizes, cornices, plastered facade and roof covering have been preserved. On the other hand, the extension towards the garden shows at first glance that it is a new mass added to the original building.

The new living room, which was created thanks to the extension, is united with the outdoor sitting area under one frame unit made of exposed concrete and with a flat roof. Also, thanks to the large French windows, the living area connects directly to the garden and the garden becomes part of it.
