Prague living in the eyes of Katie / Bydleni v Praze – jak to vidi Katie

Katie is my yet another blogging buddy whom I recently met on-line. She is married to a wonderful Czech guy and together currently live in Berlin. Her passion is to inspire people to make creative homes  and I couldn’t think of anyone more qualified for this job. Why? Her new appartment in Berlin is 480 sqare feet and the kitchen is only 36. It takes a creative soul to fill all that space (or no space for that matter)! Anyhow, Katie recently made a post on her “Making this home” blog, which introduces Czech appartment living to the outside world. It’s a great reading accompanied by  great pictures. So, take it away (click here)!

CZ: Katie je jednou z mych novych blogarskych kamosek, kterou jsem potkala serfovanim na internetu. Je vdana za super ceskeho kluka a v soucasne dobe spolu ziji v Berline. Jejim konickem je inspirovat lidi, jak si vytvorit zajimavy a napadity domov. Jelikoz jejich novy byt v Berline meri 480 ctverecnich stop (sorry, jsem lina  to prepocitavat) a samotna kuchyne ma pouhych 36 ctverecnich stop, je na Katie, aby si tento prostor (nebo neprostor) tvurne zaplnila a jeji blog zvany “Making this home” je plny velmi zajimavych napadu, jak na to. Nedavno take napsala clanek o prazskych bytech a nejen ze je to velmi zajimave cteni, ale je take doprovazeno moc hezkymi fotkami. Clanek si prectete zde (kliknete zde).

Czechs build small but cozy / Cesi stavi malinke domovy, ale utulne

house in Presov. yahoo imageWhat is the Czech style of living compared to other European states?

  • The person-to-area ratio is smaller compared to the European average. The Czechs occupy on average an area of 49 meter squared with 2.7 rooms and 2.6 people living in them. And what nation is living in the rooms size of an airport hallway? The Danish people! The average size of their house/flat is 110 meters squared with only 2.2 people living in it!
  • Regarding the basic home equipment such as running water,a toilet or a shower, those homes – although tiny – seem to be doing very well. About 95% of all of the Czech households have all of these necessities which puts us on the same level with the well-to-do states such as Austria and France. Country that is not doing that well in this area is Romania, for example, where only 53% of households have an actual running water. [click to continue…]
