Good quality architecture can afford to be extravagant, but only where it serves a higher purpose! Investing more up front in acquisition costs ultimately reduces operating costs. Good architecture is not afraid to choose high-quality materials even in places that are not so visible, investing in natural materials that are not harmful to our health and the spaces between the buildings, which make up an important aspect of our homes.

The art of aging

While time will leave its mark on any building, upkeep does not have to be difficult if the structure is well-built from the outset. The art of extravagance gives buildings the opportunity to age without losing their value, thus becoming spaces not only for our generation, but for those to come.

The art of extravagance

The word extravagant usually has negative connotations in connection with housing, but extravagant building can actually have a positive impact on what it is like to live there. Imagine if the builders didn’t cut corners to save money, but were able to use high-quality, non-toxic, locally sourced materials. Imagine if they didn’t save every square meter to benefit the developer, but allowed more space for residents. Where space allows, things are larger, higher and longer than strictly necessary. Higher ceilings, lighting in dark corners, wider stairways and hallways for ease of movement, large and sunlit outdoor areas between buildings where space is put to extravagant use for grass and trees instead of asphalt. In short, places that help cultivate housing culture.

The lasting value of housing from Skanska

We enjoy making our projects extravagant in all the right places. Our interiors use healthy materials with zero or less than the permitted levels of toxic substances, construction materials with recycled contents, certified wood from verified sources, and local materials. We build you an environment where you can make a healthy household with plenty of space, light, heat and fresh air.

Healthy environment certified by BREEAM

Investing in health always pays off. That is why we invest in trusted materials, check toxicity levels, and request certificates of composition from our contractors, all of which are not standard practice elsewhere on the Czech market. In our apartments you will find only trusted, healthy materials. We have seen that the prestigious international sustainable building certification BREEAM has a strong positive impact on the health of residents, neighbors and the planet. That is why we design all our projects in line with BREEAM certification.

Smart solutions

You can find a number of useful technologies both inside and outside our homes. We design our buildings and apartments for connecting to smart home components to save time, money and energy. “Smart” solutions for us also include simple things like spacious terraces and balconies where you can dry your laundry outside instead of running an energy hog like the dryer.
