UBM Development Czechia has introduced a model apartment at its Timber Praha project, showcasing a unique blend of modern design and natural materials. Located in Prague-Reporyje, this newly completed residential development features buildings constructed with CLT (cross-laminated timber) panels, offering extraordinary energy efficiency (PENB A) and BREEAM Excellent environmental certification. The apartments are now ready for occupancy, with exclusive sales handled by Lexxus Norton.
The model apartment, covering 51.6 m² in the L building, emphasizes the warmth and comfort of natural materials. “The wood accents in Timber Praha make the interiors inherently warm and inviting, even without furnishings,” says David Lukas, Chief Architect of UBM Development Czechia. The apartment features natural wood ceilings and oak parquet floors, while practical plasterboard is used on the walls. Furnishings also follow a natural theme, with a palette that blends shades of brown, white, blue, and grey to harmonize with the wood.
The design of the apartment is unconventional, with the bedroom accessible via two sliding doors from the open living area, which connects seamlessly to the kitchen. The space is further enhanced by a 10 m² terrace that offers outdoor living opportunities, and large windows fill the apartment with natural light, creating a cozy and bright atmosphere.
The furniture in the model apartment reflects both quality and functionality. An Italian sofa from Ditre Italia adds a touch of color to the living room, while furniture from Slovak brand Javorina, known for its solid wood pieces, completes the space. The kitchen features veneered oak boards with white lacquered cabinets, a sleek granite countertop, and top-tier Electrolux appliances. The bedroom includes a bed with a wooden front and a built-in white wardrobe by Čochner Design.
The apartment is decorated with high-end accessories, including Spanish design vases, Bohemia Crystal glassware, and a bottle rack by Alessi. The bathroom includes fixtures from Hansgrohe, and the walls are adorned with art, including an original painting by a student from a secondary school of arts and crafts.
Timber Praha is part of the Arcus City development, a new residential district located near the borders of Řeporyje and Stodůlky. The district is designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating energy-saving elements like heat pumps, geothermal wells, photovoltaic panels, and a Smart Home system that regulates heating, cooling, and energy consumption. The apartments are also equipped with underfloor heating and cooling systems, making them comfortable year-round.
Each apartment includes a cellar, parking space in an underground garage, and either a balcony, terrace, or front garden. The project is set within a peaceful, family-friendly environment, surrounded by natural beauty, including the nearby Prokopské and Dalejské valleys and Řepora Biopark. Residents will also benefit from excellent transport connections, with a soon-to-be-opened bus stop providing access to the Stodůlky and Luka metro stations, just 20 minutes from the city center.
Josef Wiedermann, Managing Director of UBM Development Czechia, emphasized the uniqueness of the Timber Praha project, saying, “This is a truly one-of-a-kind development in the Czech Republic, offering sustainable living in a beautiful, serene environment.”
For those interested, UBM has prepared additional model apartments of various sizes, allowing prospective buyers to experience how different layouts can be furnished in a comfortable and inviting manner. Viewings can be arranged by appointment through Lexxus Norton.
