Rodbo (Dva Domy)

“Dva Domy” or “Two Houses” in English is a new residential project located in the beautiful and thriving environment of Prague 8 - Karlín. The premium building development offers over 110 apartments and various retail spaces and offices.

Due to its proximity to the underground and road traffic passing in front of the buildings, anti-vibration systems to dampen structure-borne noise were needed. Dva Domy, consists of two separate residential towers that are connected at street level, where cafes and restaurants are located.

To decouple the non-isolated substructure from the isolated superstructure, Stravibase VHS elastomeric bearings consisting of 5 layers of high-pressure elastomer and steel plates were installed on the walls and column heads (under the ceilings of the 1st underground floor).

To dampen vibrations from ascending and descending elevators, a Stravifloor Prefab floating floor was installed in the elevator shafts. The elevator shafts themselves were lined with a 30 mm thick Stravibase Mat resilient mat to create a box-in-box design.
