Quadrio Apartment House

Rezidence Quadrio

Apartment buildings in the historic center of Prague were formed to a greater extent in the last 30s and 40s of the last century. At this time, there were created a number of interesting functionalist buildings, whose design and typologies raised new direction in the requirements for living and lifestyle in general. The regulatory legislation prescribes the requirements for new solitary residential building in the direct center of Prague and they present today a very unique conditions. We designed residential building with trading function on the ground floor, which is actively involved in the current structure of the city center. Residential house is solitary situated on the corner of Purkyňova and Vladislavova streets. Its northern facade closes new square which was placed between buildings in this block as the resting place with elements of urban greenery and water features. With business-office part is interconnected on the underground floor, where is also located parking, storages and residential facilities. The main entrance to the building is located on the Purkyňova street, through the entrance lobby it is possible to get on the new square, where is located the second entrance. Simple cubic form includes seven floors and along its perimeter is located rings of balconies and terraces, in these horizontal planes are fitted glass "aquarium" of living rooms which provide panoramic view of surrounding streets. The layout of the apartments are designed so that every living room in each apartment opens onto a terrace or balcony. A spacious duplex apartments offer an open living room across two floors with a height of 5.8 meters. The top floor apartments are supplemented with internal atrium of which are possible to get on roof terraces. The house offers 13 residential units, including some duplex apartments.
