The Kitchen at the Heart of a Mezzanine Apartment: A Space that Encourages Get-Togethers

Allow us to present you with an airy mezzanine apartment in Prague, which combines the contemporary aesthetic of clean lines with classic details. Its owners owe this project’s great result to the synergy of the architect’s talent and the precision craftsmanship of the carpenters and stonemasons.

This large, split-level apartment was created in the unused attic space of an older apartment building in Prague’s charming Vinohrady district. You can see all the way to Prague Castle from its windows!

The assignment was to create a family-friendly space with a kitchen and a large island at its center where people can meet and spend time together. Its furnishings had to be tasteful and imaginative, but above all, practical. For that reason, the architect chose a countertop made with TechniStone® as the centerpiece of the kitchen.

TechniStone^® offers excellent quality, especially with its durability and non-porous surface. It is also highly valued for its ease of maintenance and its great resistance to scratches and the growth of bacteria.

Technistone's Noble Ivory White decor coordinates perfectly with the light shades of the kitchen's color scheme. The light colors brighten up the space under the roof and provide contrast for the dark-stained wood and dark accessories the architects used to highlight certain elements. In addition to the kitchen, which is at the center of the main living space, the staircase leading to the upper floor is also dark brown. Noble Ivory White blends well with the architect’s chosen palette. Its warm beige color and subtle, light pattern enhance the welcoming atmosphere of the home.

The apartment has an airy feel thanks not only to its light color scheme, but also to its extensive use of custom-made furniture. It has plenty of storage space while still maintaining a timeless, minimalist style. Its clean lines are complemented by classic elements such as coffered wall paneling and frames around the kitchen cabinet doors.

Attention to detail is the key to the extraordinarily aesthetic impression the apartment makes. The impeccable execution of the joints in the engineered stone on the kitchen island is evidence of that. The architects like to come up with something new for every project, so they used TechniStone^® for the shelves in the kitchen and over the bar in the dining room. The shelf in the kitchen is over four meters long and is embedded with an LED strip that illuminates the work surface.

TechniStone^® combines sustainability with cutting-edge innovation, infusing any space with a touch of creativity and sophistication.
