This presentation is about the interior design of the three houses on Libocká street presented on Architizer here: https://architizer.com/projects/complex-of-residential-houses-libocka/

The project consisted of designing a triplet of houses in the Liboc neighbourhood, near the Hvězda (Star) Game Reserve, whose wall forms the site´s south boundary, while to the north the houses face the busy but narrow Libocká street, but at the same time have a beutiful view of the horizon. A two-storey high rock massif is an important feature of the site, together with the tradional rural urban setting having the biggest impact on the archetypal - but abstracted - form of the three houses.
One of the volumes is the home of the investor. The second, of a similar size, is a townhouse with four rental apartments. The third is a smaller family house.
The houses were designed with a deliberately limited materials and colour palette, using white plaster, white sheet metal, natural wood, glazed surfaces and galvanized steel details, all blending with the natural settings surrounding the houses - old trees, grasses and the rock.

The interiors of all the three houses have been designed in a fundamentally similar way - with surfaces of exposed concrete, white plaster, oak floors, and built-in furniture in a simple combination of white paint and natural oak veneer. The floors in the service areas are paved with hexagonal tiles in two shades of grey, and the walls of all bahtrooms and the indoor swimming pool in the investor's house are finished with light grey screed.

The aim was to create a calm and simple background for the life of the inhabitants of the houses and elements of quality free standing furniture. And in the investor's house also for the collection of contemporary art characterised by its distinctive and lively colours.

The essential element of the interior of the investor's house is a spiral monolithic reinforced concrete staircase connecting all floors, which has been intended as a sculpture with significant presence, visible also from the street through the glazing of one of the two loggias on the facade.

The smaller rental family house has a white lacquered steel staircase connecting all the floors.
