Description
A unique atmosphere, an oasis of greenery and peace and quiet
The housing project at Vyšehradská 26 in Prague 2 is unique and extraordinary due to its atmosphere, which shall enchant you the moment you enter the complex; an enclosed yard that is shaped like the letter „U“. It was created by the partial reconstruction of a building built in the Classicism style with Baroque elements dating back to the 2nd quarter of the 19th century along with the addition of wings, all of which simultaneously preserved the original elements of the building.
The building is quite unique and its location reminds one of an oasis of peace and quiet, something few people would expect in the middle of the historic centre of the city. This impression is further enhanced on one side by a beautiful view of the gardens of the Emauzy Monastery, and the unique atmosphere of the adjoining garden, with a view of the neighbouring Baroque Church of St. John of Nepomuk, shall enchant you even more.
Sport and quiet and peaceful wandering
Another unrivalled advantage of this locality is the outstanding opportunities for relaxation and recreational/sports activities, such as in-line skating, jogging and cycling, which can be enjoyed on the nearby bank of the Vltava River, and at the swimming pool and Czech Yacht Club in the neighbouring Podolí city district. Also located nearby is a botanical garden, ideal for quiet and peaceful walks.
On foot to anywhere
Another undoubted advantage of the Residence is the fact that it is located a mere 5-minute walk from Charles Square; thus all infrastructures are accessible (metro, tram, bus). Complete civic facilities are a matter of course – consisting in health care facilities, schools, a preschool, and shops.
History versus modern living
The project consists in 20 housing units and four commercial units on 5 floors, each unit being essentially an original.
The preservation of the uncovered parts of the original walls in combination with the utilization of modern, high-quality and simple materials created an entirely uncommon style of a higher standard of living, in which history is united with the present while fulfilling the demanding requirements of modern living.
Another tremendous bonus is the highly sought after parking spaces,which belong to all the housing units here.
Flats that have a terrace offer a unique view of the block and the garden.
