Czech design studio No Architects renovates and adds new additions to a villa in Prague that was originally built in the 1920s. It is in a suburban community and is highlighted by bespoke joinery and contemporary details that are added to complement the original structure. This project was headed by artist Daniela Baráčková and architect Jakub Filip Novák
Jakub Filip Novák talks about the design to Dezeen, stating that "Other contemporary extensions in this neighborhood got very old very quickly and don't fit in well anymore. Our addition refers to the original facade details and is hardly recognizable as separate from the original house. The connection between the new and old parts is not just via design, but it seems seamless even by structure and same aging of the material."
