A radical remodel of a 1990s attic apartment in Prague Libeň. We are in the attic of a 1930s townhouse in Prague Libeň. An apartment was built here in the 1990s. But there were too many rooms, more than the client needed, anyway. The joy of open attic space was lost in the clutter. Our task was to find it again.

This gut renovation modernizes the interiors of two apartments in a dilapidated historic Palazzo in Brescia, Italy, while restoring the original grandeur of the spaces. The units on adjacent floors share the same perimeter footprint; however, the different ceiling heights engender discrete architectural responses

I designed a penthouse planned to be built quite far from the city. The main purpose of the design is to create a loft apartment that can be preferred for those who want to retreat and promise a beautiful forest view in every corner of the house.
