This bright one-bedroom apartment with a balcony facing a quiet courtyard in the Schön Residence is characterized by its compact layout. Designed by architect Friedrich Weinwurm, the functional use of its space creates a cozy living room and a feeling of absolute privacy. Originally high ceilings of 2.9 m as well as French windows have been preserved in the apartment. The building stands on Obchodná Street in a neighborhood with complete urban amenities that is close to the historic city center.
The layout of the apartment consists of an entrance hall, and a social zone with a living room with a kitchen and dining area (27 sq. m.) with access to the loggia. There is also a bedroom with a dressing room, a bathroom with a preparation for a washing machine, toilet, and Italian shower with a bathtub. The apartment is flooded in daylight thanks to its southeasterly orientation, practically designed layout, and French windows. A pleasant renovated courtyard and sunny loggia ensures a pleasant atmosphere. The apartment is equipped to a standard that includes a video entry phone, underfloor heating, a preparation for air-conditioning, a Sherlock security door, and soundproof insulated windows, which ensure maximum soundproofing.
The apartment is part of the architecturally significant multifunctional Schön building on Obchodná Street, which is currently being thoroughly reconstructed in order to preserve this original Functionalist gem from the first half of the 20th century. The complete reconstruction of the building includes the replacement of the roof, new plumbing and electrics, surface treatment of walls, exteriors, as well as the renovation of the building's entrance hall. The seven-story residence will retain its original multifunctionality: the first two floors will consist of commercial and office space, including a grocery store and a traditional Italian restaurant.
Obchodná is one of Old Town Bratislava's most important streets and has been that way since the 18th century. Throughout its length, it consists of buildings with commercial and office space, services, cafes and restaurants, which together create a lively urban atmosphere. There are public transport stops right by the building; the center is a five-minute walk away. The street was completely renovated in 2005-6 and the city is currently revitalizing it.
