Restoration of the buildings of the former fire station and the associated post office on Vrančovičová Street in the Lamač district is in the interest of creating new community housing (co-living). It is intended for users who are looking for short-term rental housing / their own room. The accommodation capacity is set for ten residents divided into single or double rooms, in addition to which the apartment unit is completed by a large living room, shared kitchen, women's and men's bathroom and technical facilities with storage space for the cleaning service.
The house itself also includes a newly created cafe on the corner, which complements the surrounding environment with the missing refreshment services. In an ideal scenario, it is served by one or more residents of the house. Above the cafe rises a completed brick tower, which optically completes the silhouette of the original firemen's bell tower and hose dryer. The interior of the house and its aesthetics (especially the cafe and the living area) are completed in an industrial style with expressive
elements (original brick, steel, red and green-blue color) that give the impression of the original function of the object and thus preserve the "genius loci". The reconstruction pays attention to the original composition of the building, during demolition and construction interventions, it tries to preserve and use as many original and functional walls and partitions as possible. The palette of materials for the construction interior is simple, it consists mainly of steel, wooden plywood, and recycled plastics are also used in the form of boards and work surfaces created by them.
