#Apartment house #Krupka

Address and directions

Smetanova 2
417 42 Krupka, Czechia

Public transport: Krupka, Bohosudov, nám.

As modern architecture expanded into the mountain area.

Description

The core of the house is formed by the ground floor and the first floor. At the corner, the house is double highlighted. On the one hand there is a second floor with smaller windows, forming a little tower. On the other hand, the entrance to the former shop is set across, a element that enlivens the facade and enlarges the footpath. Line-shaped plaster was applied between all windows. This plaster and the wide cornices on the roof reinforce the horizontal effect of the house. The slightly higher part of the building on Smetanova Street is most likely a later extension.

The house is a mix between a family house and an apartment house.
