The site, formerly zoned as football stadium, is located next to Parukářka, a city park popular with Prague residents and visitors. The apartment complex is the work of an internationally recognised local studio, A69. The residential complex is composed as a ring of sloping terrace townhouses, hidden behind a green wall, referencing a landscaped bowl with contrasting taller apartment blocks rising above as metaphorical football terraces. The masterplan visually extends the existing city park and introduces an exceptional panorama capturing the Žižkov TV Tower with views across the city to Prague Castle. This careful composition allows the apartment owners to enjoy uninterrupted views of the iconic skyline from all rooms within the apartment, including the master bathroom.

We wanted the house to fit gently between the surrounding houses of the original built-up area and the trees of the old garden, to be able to take advantage of the views and natural resources, and the house to function well naturally in terms of heat and economics, without current artificial “passive standards”.
The task was to design a house for a family of four.
Parents who work daily in artificial open-space office had a fundamental desire for natural materials and intimacy.
The children’s section was required to be easily separable from other areas, prospectively for the time when the children grow up.
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.
Living in an own historic but individually reconstructed house with a garden just several steps away from an underground station is a dream that can come true for really few families with small children. However, if three such families united their efforts to buy a three-storey villa that needed reconstruction, we were sure it would be a very interesting experiment. And that we have to find a rational way not only to the implementation and to the operation of such housing type, no utopia.
The office complex is built on the area of the former Prague Joint-Stock Engineering Works, formerly Ruston Company, known under the popular name Rustonka. The triangular plot is close to the Invalidovna residential area, metro station and the Olympik Hotel, near the center of Prague, close to the right bank of the Vltava River.
The Perspektiv studio completed a large office project with an area of 7300 m2 for the largest central European fixed-odds betting operator, Fortuna Entertainment Group, in the centre of Prague this autumn. The main task for architects was to create an agile environment for employees and to roof different divisions of the company in one place.
The architects decided to make the most of the space and design offices the main feature of which is simplicity, sustainability and efficient use of space. The emphasis was on maximizing creative potential and creating ideal conditions for supporting the community with reference to the principles of the agile workplace.
The interior of the Deloitte offices realised by ATELIER KUNC Architects is designed in the style of “living landscape” as a comfortable and pleasing interior, which evokes good atmosphere for working and living and where the distinction between a traditional work environment and the feeling of chilling out “at home” fades away.
CAMP, the Center for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning, is an urban planning hotspot in the heart of Prague aiming to improve public discussion about the development of the Czech’s capital city. Striving to become an essential source of clear and accessible information about the present and the future of Prague, it functions as an open platform, a “basecamp” for anyone interested in the collective planning and development of the Capital.
A large residental compound, located in traditional city villas quarter Hanspaulka, is surrounded by a historical garden park, on a sloping terrain. The garden itself, together with panoramic views of Pragues skyline, are the main inspirations for the design concept. Its massing and apparently minimalist composition is formed by ingenious stacking of five blocks – storeys. The lowest one – entrace and parking level extending to the exterior granit covered yard is wholly cut into the terrain. The second storey is also partly submerged. It is the largest by floor area and forming masonry pedestal of the house.
When designing myhive Flexi Offices’ new office space, architects from atelier SAD not only took into account the investor’s requirements for timeless and maximally functional design, but also focused on the economy of the solution and, last but not least, environmental friendliness.
During the reconstruction of similar premises as were these offices in building built 25 years ago, a large amount of materials is usually thrown away. The authors tried to avoid this. The project therefore counted on the use of original constructions and technologies and at the same time, the newly created interior was enriched with natural materials so that over the years it would not lose anything in terms of function and appearance, that it still feels pleasant and unused.
