The great Czech tradition of the past century is still alive. The projects we recently published are capable to challenge themselves with newness, being also fashionable especially in the interiors, but also encompass the creative flair and the outside of the box attitude that characterized the country until the Second World War.


– Šépka architekti designed a wooden single family house in Prague with reinforced concrete foundation, which is minimalized on the steep slope only to a concrete foot.

– Czech studio Dvořák & partners realised a giant wooden construction suspended above the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, which is inspired by the shapes of the giant airships.

– SMLXL studio renovated an apartment loft in central Prague that had to appear clean, light and industrial at the same time, whith swings as chairs.

– The owners of a plot in Dobříš, Czech Republic, wanted a house with no angles and in solidarity with the forest behind its back, so Mimosa Architekti built a fluid building covered with larch shakes.

Postnaturalia is a complex sculptural installation made by Krištof Kintera, with the collaboration of Richard Wiesner and Rastislav Juhás, for Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia.

– The ground floor of an Art Deco building in Czech Republic was renovated by studio Mjölk to host a burger restaurant inspired by underground Chicago.

– Located on top of a hill in Velké Meziříčí, Czech Republic, Studio Acht designed a steel observation tower on the picturesque landscapes of the Czech-Moravian Highlands.

– Studio OOOOX designed the interiors of Tony Adam’s new barber shop in Prague, introducing a bar next to the shaving area, with vintage furniture and wood.
