Apartmenthouse with a Gym Lodecka 1 110 00 Prague The overall design concept was based on the box-of-bricks principle consisting of spatial units The position of the vertical staircase dictated by the hall?s presence defines the layout type featuring an open horizontal corridor There are sandwiched volumes between the layers of floor slabs, by their size corresponding with apartment units There where the mass volume must be made less dense conforming it to the neighbouring buildings, where more natural light and air must be let in, where an untraditional open space must be created allowing contact between people, the bricks are left out As the flats on the top level are maisonettes, the body of the unit expands two storeys up crowning the whole composition The flats are mostly of minimum size allowing lateral ventilation; due to their orientation to the south and generous glazing the flats enjoy plenty of natural light and sun 2007 DaM AdrianEwig http://wwwmimoaeu/users/ocramotiv/guides/prague/ 14
