We can find the ‘Grandfather Townhouse’ in the distant past, especially in England and the United States. Originally, these were city apartments lined up in rows, residences of the elite for whom the size of their living space was not a decisive factor. The popularity of these houses lay in the lucrative location, which was close to the centre of social and cultural life. For instance, the Duke of Norfolk, despite being the owner of the expansive estate at Arundel, lived on occasion at St. James Square in a townhouse that was 30 metres wide.
It is a revolutionary idea born of the effort to combine the benefits of an urban and rural lifestyle, with the cost of living in a private house comparable to the price of an apartment in the city. One of the key advantages is the excellent availability of civic amenities such as doctors, shops, post offices, schools and other institutions nearby. Public transit will take you almost anywhere: to work, the cinema and entertainment, to visit friends. A townhouse combines first-class living with privacy and nature.
A number of us wonder where our children can play safely in the city. Townhouse owners have a simple answer – in the yard with a sandbox, safe monkey bars, a pool and other attractions. The owners can design their luxury garden however they wish. They can give priority to vegetation, vegetable patches or a children’s playground.
This idea is brought to life by the project for above-standard townhouses in the highly desirable locality of Prague 7 with a luxurious view of the Holešovice port and the Vltava River. This type of living is also available in the stunning Troja locality of Prague. The apartments are situated in new residential buildings, often featuring a large yard that surrounds the entire house. The combination of space, light and nature will make this your luxury home.
