House Champagne
realisation 2024 – 2026
House Champagne is the third residential building we are designing as part of the development project for the Nový Smíchov area, near Smíchov Railway Station, led by Sekyra Group. After the dark House Noir and the brick-colored Haus Rot, comes a light building, whose façade combines a frame structure made of prefabricated exposed concrete with aluminum cladding in a champagne tone.
The building faces west towards a newly tranquil pedestrian zone, allowing for maximum openness and natural light. An interesting feature of the boulevard, which connects the Na Knížecí transport hub with the new Česká spořitelna campus, is the preservation of traces of the original railway tracks, as a reminder of the industrial history of this area.
The glazed façade extends into generous loggias across the full width of the building, with railings adorned with delicate ornamentation. This detail adds lightness and elegance to the building, while the overall design remains clean and minimalist.
The penthouse on the top floor stands out with its semi-circular shape and retro details, which contrast with the geometric lines of the rest of the building. It offers sweeping views of Vyšehrad, Prague Castle, and the green hills of Malvazinky. The entire space is designed as a single, spacious apartment, creating a striking architectural moment.
The roof is green, designed with an emphasis on both aesthetics and practicality. The design includes even the smallest details, such as the design of planters, signage, or preparations for the installation of hot tubs, with every element of the building carefully crafted to ensure the overall harmony. The building also meets strict energy standards.
The project is a showcase of current trends in urban housing, responding to the need for quality apartments in the city center while making use of vacant lots and gaps, the development of which has been made possible by relatively recent Prague building regulations. Working with these gaps is one of the areas we at edit! particularly enjoy focusing on. And it seems this trio will be standing soon – we have the building permit, and in December 2024, we will move into the construction phase.
