VANGUARD Loft
We let the original industrial space speak for itself. No inserted mezzanines, no attempts to gain a few extra square meters at the expense of atmosphere. This Vanguard loft is built around the very thing that makes these spaces exceptional — generous height, the rawness of the original structure, and an open layout. The apartment is defined by a system of clever partitions without unnecessary doors. What should remain visible stays open. What should stay hidden disappears behind translucent copilit glass walls. The interior remains simple and calm, allowing the space itself, the light, and the artwork to take center stage. And then there is the detail only Vanguard can offer. The car elevator. From the living area, you can watch your polished Porsche arrive directly into the loft behind a glass wall.
Kitchen as a black monolith
The kitchen area connects directly to a striking copilit partition wall and almost feels like a separate object inserted into the space. Its centerpiece is a large kitchen island with steel cabinet doors, connected to an oval dining table. Above it hangs a strict geometric light fixture — technical, sculptural, and perfectly fitting the industrial character of the interior. The kitchen is not hidden away. Quite the opposite. It naturally becomes the center of the apartment. Black volumes contrast with the rough concrete ceiling and the soft diffused light coming through the copilit walls. The minimalist solution without upper cabinets allows the proportions of the loft to remain dominant instead of competing with them.
Living space between concrete and art
The living room flows naturally from the kitchen and dining area and faces large windows overlooking Prague. We intentionally left the rawness of the original building fully exposed — monolithic concrete ceilings, visible installations, and rough concrete textures contrast with soft furniture and bold colorful artworks. The interior is intentionally restrained so the art can become the main accent of the space. Paintings, objects, and statement pieces do not feel like decoration but rather like a natural part of the loft itself. In the evening, technical lighting and long linear fixtures completely transform the atmosphere and further emphasize the height of the interior. And then there is the moment unique to Vanguard — the view of a car parked behind the glass wall. A slightly absurd luxury, but one that perfectly belongs to this building.
Copilit instead of walls
The bedroom is hidden behind a copilit glass wall that allows daylight to penetrate deep into the center of the apartment while still maintaining privacy. The same principle repeats throughout the layout — partitions do not fully close the space but gently filter views and light. As a result, the apartment feels open despite its relatively complex arrangement. The layout is shaped through copilit glass partitions that distribute light deep into the interior while maintaining privacy between individual zones. A technical material once used mainly in industrial buildings gains an entirely new role here. During the day, it works with natural light; in the evening, it creates softly blurred silhouettes and changes the atmosphere of the loft completely.
Bathroom overlooking the city
The bathroom is dominated by a freestanding bathtub positioned directly by the window with views over Prague. The space flows naturally from the bedroom and, like the rest of the loft, relies on openness and light rather than unnecessary barriers. An unusually shaped shower enclosure preserves the clean geometry of the interior, making the bathroom feel more like part of the living space than a separate technical room. The entire design is built around simplicity, raw materials, and the intelligent concealment of everything that should remain out of sight. Space itself, natural light, and the atmosphere of the loft take the leading role.
Hidden spaces behind glass
One of the most distinctive features of the interior is the large glazed wall in the living area. Behind it hides the entrance wardrobe together with the apartment’s full technical background — toilet, laundry room, and storage spaces. Through the translucent copilit glass, only silhouettes and outlines remain visible, adding another layer of depth and light to the space.
The glass partition also works as an optical divider. It separates individual parts of the layout without ever fully enclosing them. In the evening, the softly glowing background creates an almost scenographic effect that defines the atmosphere of the entire interior.
Why do we love interiors?
Simplicity was key to the entire interior design. We didn’t try to redraw the space or cover it with new layers. The loft remained a loft—raw, open, and authentic. And thanks to that, despite the darker materials, it feels surprisingly light and airy. We use a similar approach in our other projects. Take a look at how we tackle other INTERIORS.
