This is a typical town house with a ground floor, residential floors, and an attic, located in a small town in the Podkrkonoší region, in the center of the main square.

The original architect was the renowned Josef Záruba-Pfeffermann. The building’s structural condition is good and does not require major interventions. However, to better utilize the attic, replacing the original wooden elements with a steel structure is being considered. The apartments on the second and third floors no longer meet modern standards. The attic contains two large spaces that are currently unused. The adjacent garden is neglected.

The most important factor in the design was respecting the building’s position within the town and preserving the dignity of the original architectural concept. This is reflected in minimal interventions to the exterior envelope, which are limited to the side façades not facing the square. Local repairs will be made to the plaster, and the overall color scheme will be harmonized.

The client also requested the addition of an external shading system. Characteristic features of the house, such as its plasticity and delicate relief details in the plaster, are preserved and complemented with new modern metal elements.

The layout of the apartments is adapted to meet contemporary living requirements. Given the floor area, most units are configured as 2+1 or 2-room apartments. In the north-facing garden, the most visually prominent feature is a shelter combining parking spaces and storage. The entrance to the garden has been newly paved, while the remaining area is left for residents’ leisure activities as a private communal garden.
