Prague studio Plus One Architects has restored the "original splendour" of this 1902 apartment in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, by reinstating some of its original features.
Located in a turn-of-the-century apartment block, the two-bedroom flat was renovated by Plus One Architects, who exposed the original paintwork present on the walls and ceilings.
