The answer is simple: nowhere. In the former Microna factory in Prague’s Modřany, a residential project has been built that is utterly unique in many respects. Vanguard is a prime example of what 21st-century comfort looks like. It’s not just about generous lofts with four-and-a-half-metre ceilings and the raw beauty of concrete. It is, above all, a thought-out ecosystem of services inspired by five-star hotels, whose sole aim is to give residents the most precious commodities – time and a carefree existence. And this philosophy begins in the most unexpected of places.
Everyone knows that for owners of exceptional cars, their collection is a true matter of the heart. Vanguard not only understands this passion but elevates it to a whole new level. Here, your car is not just a mode of transport you leave in an underground garage – it becomes a part of your home. A unique car lift, a technological marvel of the entire project, allows you to park your favourite automobile right on the same floor as your loft. Through a glass wall, it then becomes a living work of art, a dynamic part of the interior that is always in view. It is a privilege that turns the everyday return home into a ritual. The fact that your car can gracefully ascend to the thirteenth floor is a complete rarity on a pan-European scale.
This feel for services that exceed expectations is being taken even further this year. Every Vanguard resident will gain access to a tailor-made mobile app that redefines the concept of comfort. Alongside standard concierge services, the app will offer a whole new dimension of travel. Its menu will feature available private flights, which will allow you to charter a private jet for a fraction of the usual price. The world becomes more accessible, and travel more spontaneous than ever before.
The services at Vanguard are designed to afford residents peace and comfort. The 24/7 concierge team takes care of all daily matters, from picking up children from school to handling deliveries. The wellness zone offers an escape from everyday stress. For social moments, a private cinema and rooftop terraces with a summer kitchen are available. Vanguard is a thought-out concept that allows you to live life to the fullest, surrounded by design, comfort, and passion.
The living spaces themselves are a celebration of freedom and individuality. The offer consists of generous lofts that owners can finish according to their vision. For the boldest, a ‘shell & core’ state is available, where the raw beauty of concrete and steel becomes a clean canvas for any dream, whether for a compact studio or a magnificent residence. The second path is finished apartments in a ‘white walls’ state, for which one can draw inspiration from unique show lofts by renowned designers.
But life at Vanguard doesn’t end at the loft door. Modřany is a vibrant district, from where it is just a ten-minute trip along the riverbank to the city centre. The Hodkovičky golf course and the famous Vltava riverside cycle path are within reach. Cultural and gourmet life takes place right inside the building: the ground floor is already brought to life by the impressive Artefin gallery with its contemporary art, and a new restaurant is being created on the ground floor, whose concept will perfectly match the character of the entire residence. The artistic spirit also permeates the common areas, with the wellness zone, for example, being adorned by a dominant glass sculpture by Matěj Hájek. Vanguard then far exceeds the definition of ordinary housing, becoming a space where living, culture, luxury, and the highest level of service are part of daily life.
