Custom PS1: usual PS1 for all directories excluding single directory with subdirectories

Consider fixed absolute path to some directory with arbitrary subdirectories:

/full/path/to/fixed/directory
/full/path/to/fixed/directory/first_subdirectory
/full/path/to/fixed/directory/first_subdirectory/second_subdirectory

and arbitrary other directory that is not subdirectory of foregoing directory: /other/path

I want see the following in the terminal:

user@host: .../directory$ 
user@host: .../directory/first_subdirectory
user@host: .../directory/first_subdirectory/second_subdirectory
user@host: /other/path$ 

where the last line is a typical case but other lines are instead of

user@host: /full/path/to/fixed/directory$ 
user@host: /full/path/to/fixed/directory/first_subdirectory
user@host: /full/path/to/fixed/directory/first_subdirectory/second_subdirectory

How to implement it?

P.S. Paths can contain whitespaces.
