Matěj Šebek Architekti Adds Rooftop Extension to Prague Apartment Building

Matěj Šebek Architekti has completed a rooftop extension and revitalisation of an apartment building in Prague's Vysočany district, Czechia. The project, led by architect Matěj Šebek with co-author Rozalie Domoráková, adds 298 m² of residential space and is scheduled for completion in 2026. Structural engineering is by Jan Kuchař, graphic design by Filip Hauser, and the general contractor is Global Agent. Manufacturers involved include Ikea, Lukáš Koubek, and two hundred tons. Photographs are by Radek Šrettr Úlehla. The project questions how an urban apartment building can be developed without becoming a developer's product, proposing an alternative approach to rental housing in Prague. Curated by Nina Vuga, the extension falls under the categories of apartments and extension. The design aims to offer a different model for urban living, emphasizing thoughtful revitalisation over speculative development.
