From the beginning, both of them had clear ideas and high demands about new housing. Byt o celkové rozloze 116 m² koupili zcela „holý“ a připravený ke kompletní rekonstrukci.They understood significantly atypical space from the beginning as a challenge, so they addressed the architectural office of Hao Design.

Architects decided to preserve the original ceiling construction and adapt it to the interior partitions so that the interior seemed as if it were in a small family house.The advantage of this solution is also to maintain an unusual height of space that looks pleasant generously.

Especially a lot of light

Large windows with wooden frames to space bring enough natural light to make the impression of airiness truly maximum.White surfaces and bright trees prevail here, which also highlight the charming textures of selected materials and linear furniture design.

Open common space can be separated from the kitchen by sliding doors to avoid penetrating all the odors that arise during cooking.The ground plan is tailored to the activities of the population.The gallery has a working and TV corner, a rest zone for rest, creative work and reading.

The main space is a meeting place and games with a higher frequency of activity.One of the corners is a game room for a son, so parents have an overview of and can participate in its activities themselves.The interior is furnished simply and with a minimum of decorations, they are just enough to look cold.

The main decorative element thus becomes the structure of the high ceiling.White bricks with artificial patina create nostalgic, peaceful atmosphere.For greater diversity, they are combined with significantly current elements such as special coating of cement or metal details.Accent in the form of different shades of gray also appears on large -format pavement.

Wooden surfaces and pastel shades make the space more cozy and feel "settled".In Hao Design believes "Home is a place where every individual has a good feeling of sharing space that encourages mutual free and deep exchanges".Starburst House is a good example that even when using current trends, ancient needs can be met.

The robust concrete staircase is colored with the floor in the main living room.Gray and white areas in the interior prevail, softened by accents in pastel shades.
