The family house is located in a steep terrain on a narrow land in a densely built-up part of the town. These conditions have determined the first architectural constraints. On the one hand, this place offers a panoramic view of the city, on the other hand a view of the green, tranquil gardens and fruit trees. The house is artfully fitted into the hillside to fully utilize the possibilities of the space.
This project demonstrates that economic limitation doesn’t have to limit architecture. This story is about reconstruction of an old neglected school building into a fresh and functional residential house full of small-size flats. Nowadays, there is a great demand for small-size flats and price affordable living, especially among young people. This represents a big challenge for architects, when designing urban architecture.
Steep terrain with three robust chestnut trees, which owners decided to preserve. This is how the property on which a unique family house was to be built looked at the beginning. Architects from Šebo Lichýˈs atelier took the challenge and designed a genuine construction inspired by famous Tugendhat villa.
How to deliver added value to the business center, and provide tenants with something more? In the world of large, anonymous office buildings, the architects of the studio Šebo Lichý decided to create an exceptional building. Business Centre Wallenrod on Mickiewiczova Street in the center of Bratislava is different and innovative in several ways.
Construction has started on this bold addition to Bratislava’s urban centre, which creates valuable external amenity spaces providing spectacular views out over the historic town centre.
This 10,200 m² commercial office scheme for CRESCO GROUP was won through an invited competition in September 2012.
The interior of the three room loft has been designed to underline the main advantages of lofts – ease, casualness andspace. Visible elements of the steel structure of the roof add industrial character to the loft whereas natural materials make it cosy.In spite of the trendy daytime area the layout of the loft designated for family of 4 is rational and practical. The daytime zone consists of a hall, a kitchen, a dining room and a living room. The night zone has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate toilet.
ATELIER 8000 participated in the international architectural competition for a new Kežmarská chata (the Kežmarská Hut) in the High Tatras.
The competition entry developed by our studio proposes a succinct shape of a simple cube which is seated on one of its vertices and aims at inducing a feeling of lightness and randomness in the observer. Due to its position within the landscape the cuboid evokes an erratic block left behind by the retreating glacier. In the context of mountain peaks the sharp edges of the building merge into the outline of the neighbouring rocks when viewed from distance and thus naturally join the landscape of the site.
At some point, every project is subject to compromise. A compromise between the developer’s requirements and the site’s potential, between the architect’s idea and the construction company’s abilities. Architecture is about finding a compromise.
Multipurpose building Viktoria is located on a complicated site in Bratislava’s city center – at the frontier of two different worlds – of an active boulevard on one side and of a quiet residential area on the other.
Dlhé Diely isa hilly residential area in the western part of Bratislava. It originsat the foothills of the Little Carpathians. By the end of the seventiesit was a place of gardens and vineyards of varieties sought throughout the whole Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the early eighties,a construction of housing estates started and subsequently degraded the original character of the environment.
The site is located over an emerging development in Záhorská Bystrica, a small town near the capital. The spacious plot recalls a crater that is open into beautiful vistas on one side and protected by steep slopes on the rest. Mostly this rare combination of space and intimacy led us to the idea of an extroverted, open house.
