ALLEN & OVERY – Modern Law Flexible Office in Karlín, Czech Republic by Studio Reaktor

Saturday, June 11th, 2022

Article source: Studio Reaktor

Can we take the DNA of a successful law firm and transform it into a modern, open and airy space? How do we combine teamwork with complicated or discreet meetings? Our solution reflects the dynamic and flexible nature of the contemporary world.

We turned the old cliche, that barrister’s chambers have to have high pile carpets, leather club chairs and an understated lobby, on its head. We drew our inspiration from the client’s work and from its key output – a contract. In our case a contract with design. A contract with a refined space for lawyers, who need focus rooms and teamwork spaces and who often work from home, but need frequent access to modern technology, which is mostly cloud-based.

New J&T Finance Group Headquarters in Karlín, Czech Republic by CMC architects

Thursday, June 24th, 2021

Article source: CMC architects

Setting apart the new J&T headquarters from the neighbouring buildings is its appearance – inside and out.

The world of finance is made up of various elements that need to function and fit together flawlessly. The unbroken pattern of the façade mirrors this world.

The design of the façade is a juxtaposition of technological rationality and irregularity an approach inspired by the works of important abstract painters and sculptors. The clear right angles are also repeated in the general layout of the interior. The original graphic design of the directional signs inside the building underscore this orthogonality. The design of the font and symbols as well as the linear geometry of the lighting are based on the façade’s distinct, graphic pattern.

Restaurant Avocado Gang in Karlín, Czech Republic by Mimosa architekti

Tuesday, September 24th, 2019

Article source: Mimosa architekti

Avocado is great raw, “as it is”, or prepared in 100 and 1 different ways.

100% healthy but also a pretty solid attack on the gall bladder.

Rich and saturated in color, but ‘pastel’- toned down at the same time.

Wonderful – if handled well – or at least a bit different.

Office Premises for Czech Promotion in Czech Republic by Kurz architekti

Thursday, August 9th, 2018

Article source: Kurz architekti

The task to move the Czech Promotion communication agency in a mere three months from the famous Winternitz Villa by Adolf Loos to the unreconstructed premises of Karlín Palace with its own, albeit not as famous, history seemed fatuous, even naïve at first. Yet it was the time pressure which shaped the design itself, as well as the method of collaboration with the client and contractors. Purely a concept specified and defined the start of the process, leading to the overall unified vision, which prevented any subsequent disagreements or delaying discussions over individual parts of the proposal. Therefore, the extremely rapid establishment of absolute trust was required between the two parties. Such an approach was risky, but at the same time intensely motivating to all involved persons.
