YIT has completed the Sija Kamýk residential development in Prague 12. The project incorporates a number of environmentally focused and energy-efficient features. All 122 apartments have already been sold. Residents will have access to a courtyard with relaxation areas and practical facilities, and the internal passageway will include an abstract mural designed to reflect themes of energy, growth, and harmony.
Located at the corner of Hodkovická and Mariánská streets, the ten-storey building comprises 122 apartments ranging from 1+kk to 4+kk, with sizes between 30 and 116 m². Most units include a balcony, terrace, or front garden. Standard features include triple-glazed windows and preparation for external blinds; some apartments are equipped with heat-recovery ventilation, and the units on the penultimate floor are prepared for air-conditioning installation. The project’s visual identity is based on its Finnish name “sija,” meaning “place,” which is reflected in the orientation system and various design elements. Residents have access to a pram room, basement storage, garage parking, and four commercial units located on the ground floor.
“We saw a lot of interest in the Sija Kamýk project during construction, and all the apartments were sold before the final inspection. We see this as confirmation that our projects meet people’s expectations for modern, high-quality, and comfortable living that is also economical and environmentally friendly. We believe that the new residents will enjoy living in the building and its surroundings,” says Dana Bartoňová, Sales Director at YIT Stavo.
In addition to private courtyard amenities, YIT collaborated with the Prague 12 district to renovate the adjacent public courtyard, adding a park, playground, and workout area. The passageway artwork, created specifically for the project, is inspired by natural motifs and uses yellow, green, and blue tones to correspond with the building’s architecture.
The project incorporates LED lighting, water-saving fixtures, a retention tank for rainwater used in irrigation, and photovoltaic panels to help lower electricity use and related emissions. To support local biodiversity, nesting boxes for swifts have been installed and new plantings added. Construction also included the use of 175 m³ of recycled concrete, reducing the need for natural raw materials and supporting circular-economy principles.
