Villa OHNIVCOVA

The interior of Villa Ohnivcová is designed to make the most of natural light and open space. The concrete staircase becomes the central element that connects the different parts of the house. A sensitive combination of exposed concrete and steel in the interior gives the space a modern and industrial touch, while still maintaining harmony and a warm character.
