HOUSE IN PRAGUE – LIBOC
PHAP

House in Prague-Liboc

Pavel Hnilicka Architects+Planners as Architects

The design of the new family house in the old Liboc district replaces a dilapidated building that used to stand there in the past. The new house has two floors with a partial basement. The L-shaped ground plan situated in the corner of the plot refers to the old building. The facade of the main part of the house remains in the original place where it clearly delimits a piazzetta formed by an intersection of the corner streets. Compared to the old state, the shorter facade is offset inwards, widening the street. It consists of a floor that is partially embedded in the sloping terrain with one additional floor on top. The entrance to the plot remained on the north side together with the main entrance to the house in the center of the facade. A garden gate stands where the entrance to the old house used to be.

First floor at the level of the upper garden which continues into a terrace features a living area with a kitchen, living room, master bedroom and a guest room. The stairs lead to the second floor where kids’ bedrooms are located. Downstairs in the partial basement there is a main entrance to the house with a walk-in wardrobe, a utility room and covered parking space.
