Smichov Natural Apartment: Crafting Cozy Minimalism in Prague



The Smichov Natural Apartment in Prague, Czech Republic, is a stunning modern home designed by Iva Hájková in 2023. Featuring an industrial-inspired aesthetic with concrete, dark windows, and metal elements, the apartment’s hard and visually clean exterior belies a warm, cozy interior. Responding to the building’s industrial character with lightness and subtlety, the designer has incorporated natural materials like wood, stone, and handcrafted ceramics to create a peaceful, relaxing haven amidst the city’s fast-paced energy.

About Smichov Natural Apartment
A Modern Industrial Oasis in the Heart of Prague
Nestled within the vibrant Smíchov district of Prague, the Smichov Natural Apartment is a striking convergence of industrial elegance and natural warmth. Designed by the talented Iva Hájková in 2023, this apartment is a testament to the harmonious balance between the area’s urban energy and the soothing ambiance of a countryside retreat. Embracing the Industrial Charm
The apartment is part of the Smíchov Neugraf project, a modern townhouse that pays homage to the historic printing house on Graficka Street. Accordingly, the building’s exterior exudes an industrial allure, with expansive concrete surfaces, dark windows, a simple gray facade, and metallic accents. However, the design team skillfully counteracts this rugged aesthetic by infusing the interior with a sense of warmth and comfort.
