We undertook the reconstruction of a corner apartment in a corner historic apartment building in Prague's Holešovice. The initial condition was a dilapidated apartment with an unfortunate layout with passageways and unusable rooms. Apart from a few original doors with original fittings, there was nothing to preserve. The new owner's wish was contemporary urban living for a couple and space to work from home. When all non-load bearing partitions were demolished, with the exception of all the walls, the result was a polygonal perimeter wall space with many different angles. The new layout has been tweaked to a 3 bedroom apartment, with the main living space and kitchen located in the nicest corner of the house, accessed by a new, irregular hallway.
