Na území bývalé věže Cetinu na Žižkově jsme navrhli komplexní architektonické řešení, které se začleňuje do urbanistického kontextu lokality. Projekt zahrnuje rezidenční bydlení v podobě hranatých věží, blokové zástavby, propojených krčků, centrální kruhové výškové budovy a mateřské školky.
V centru území je navržena válcová věž s výškou 83 metrů, která svým kulatým tvarem a organicky tvarovanými balkón, vytváří dynamický kontrast k ostatní zástavbě s hranatým charakterem, čímž přirozeně doplňuje kompozici čtvercových věží a bloků. Kruhový tvar budovy maximalizuje potenciál bydlení, zajišťuje celodenní proslunění a přispívá k energetické efektivitě. Balkóny s proměnlivou hloubkou optimalizují sluneční záření a zlepšují mikroklima. V hlubších částech jsou zabudované květináče s centrální závlahou, které dodávají různorodost. Některé rostliny jsou navrženy jako přepadající, jiné rostou vertikálně. V místech zeleně je stěna balkónu snížena, aby rostliny nebránily výhledu, ale naopak ho umocňovaly. Tam, kde je balkón mělčí, je stěna zvýšena, aby poskytla více soukromí pro pobytové prostory uvnitř bytů. Budova je zakončena ozdobnou korunkou, přičemž první dvě podlaží slouží komerčním účelům a bytové jednotky zahrnují od 2kk po střešní mezonetové apartmány s výhledem na Prahu.
Celkový design ostatních domů zahrnuje šest hranatých věží s výškou mezi 12 a 17 patry. Tyto věže a bloky, ačkoli mají podobný charakter jako rozvlněné balkony na výškové věži, nejsou organické, nýbrž ortogonální. Balkony jsou různě tvarované a jejich hloubka se mění v závislosti na pobytovém prostoru a architektuře jednotlivých budov, čímž zůstávají v souladu s celkovým konceptem a charakterem lokality. Fasády bloků směřující do hlavních ulic jsou odlišné od těch, které jsou orientovány do vnitrobloku. Vytvoření lodžií a šambrán v reakci na rušné ulice slouží nejen k ochraně pobytového prostoru, ale také přidává architektuře další rozměr. Šambrány vytvářejí rám kolem každé bytové jednotky a její prosklené plochy.
Centrální náměstí, umístěné na rohu ulic Olšanská a Želivského, je doplněno fontánou a uměleckou instalací, čímž se stává přirozeným místem setkávání pro obyvatele. Náměstí se rozšiřuje do předprostoru kolem kruhové věže, kde jsou umístěny zídky k sezení a zelené plochy určené k relaxaci. Zídky jsou navrženy v organickém tvaru, a terén spolu se zelení je tvarován s předpokladem, že budou sloužit jako prostor pro odpočinek a setkávání.
V jižní části území se nachází veřejný park, který podporuje udržitelnou mobilitu a propojuje lokalitu s okolím. Mateřská školka, umístěná v této části, je navržena tak, aby poskytovala bezpečné a hravé prostředí pro děti s důrazem na propojení interiéru s venkovním prostorem.
Projekt Cetin představuje moderní a příjemné městské prostředí pro život, práci a volný čas, přičemž klade důraz na estetiku, funkčnost a respekt k okolnímu prostředí. Naše architektonické řešení revitalizuje tuto část Žižkova a přináší novou hodnotu jak pro obyvatele, tak pro návštěvníky

On the site of the former Cetin tower in Žižkov, we have designed a comprehensive architectural solution that integrates seamlessly into the urban context of the area. The project includes residential living in the form of square towers, block developments, connected corridors, a central circular high-rise building, and a kindergarten.
At the center of the site, an 83-meter cylindrical tower is proposed, whose rounded shape and organically designed balconies create a dynamic contrast with the more angular surrounding buildings, naturally complementing the composition of square towers and blocks. The circular shape of the building maximizes residential potential, ensures all-day sunlight, and contributes to energy efficiency. Balconies with varying depths optimize sunlight and improve the microclimate. In the deeper sections, built-in planters with centralized irrigation add diversity, featuring cascading and vertically growing plants. In the green areas, the balcony wall is lowered to enhance the view rather than obstruct it, while in shallower sections, the wall is raised to provide more privacy for the living spaces within the apartments. The building is crowned with an ornamental top, and the first two floors are designated for commercial use, with residential units ranging from 2-bedroom apartments to penthouse duplexes offering views of Prague.
The overall design of the other buildings includes six square towers ranging from 12 to 17 stories in height. These towers and blocks, while sharing a similar character to the undulating balconies of the high-rise tower, are not organic but orthogonal. The balconies vary in shape and depth depending on the living space and architecture of each building, maintaining harmony with the overall concept and character of the location. The facades of the blocks facing the main streets differ from those oriented toward the inner courtyards. The creation of loggias and architraves in response to busy streets not only protects the living space but also adds another dimension to the architecture. The architraves frame each residential unit and its glass surfaces.
The central square, located at the corner of Olšanská and Želivského streets, is complemented by a fountain and an art installation, making it a natural gathering place for residents. The square extends into the forecourt around the circular tower, where seating walls and green spaces for relaxation are placed. The walls are designed in an organic shape, and the terrain, along with the greenery, is sculpted to serve as a space for rest and social interaction.
In the southern part of the site, there is a public park that promotes sustainable mobility and connects the location with its surroundings. The kindergarten, located in this area, is designed to provide a safe and playful environment for children, with an emphasis on integrating indoor and outdoor spaces.
The Cetin project represents a modern and pleasant urban environment for living, working, and leisure, emphasizing aesthetics, functionality, and respect for the surrounding environment. Our architectural solution revitalizes this part of Žižkov, bringing new value to both residents and visitors.

Investiční záměr potvrdil technické možnosti přestavby tohoto, dlouhé roky diskutovaného objektu, a zároveň přinesl řešení, které zachovává jednu z ostravských výškových dominant a současně do území vnáší zcela nový prvek. Nabízí další atraktivní bydlení v centru města i kavárnu s vyhlídkou v nejvyšším patře budovy.
Stávající objekt byl postaven mezi lety 1965–1968 jako součást sídliště Jindřiška. V průběhu let se u něj projevily technické a provozní problémy. Mrakodrap má 22 podlaží a původně sloužil jako bytový dům. Později byl přestavěn na kancelářské prostory, ale dnes je budova nevyužívaná.
Investiční záměr zahrnuje vytvoření architektonického, funkčního a technického návrhu na rekonstrukci ostravského mrakodrapu. Cílem je vybudovat byty různých kategorií, začlenit objekt do stávajícího okolí a vytvořit prostory pro relaxaci a setkávání obyvatel. Tento návrh také využívá výškovou dominantu budovy, která s výškou 65,3 metrů patří mezi nejvyšší stavby v Ostravě, k vytvoření vyhlídkové kavárny s výhledem na okolní krajinu a Beskydy.
Studie musela vycházet z dispozice objektu, zejména z jeho komunikačního jádra. Stávající jádro je nevyhovující z hlediska únikových cest a požární bezpečnosti. Kvůli požadavkům na evakuaci osob ve výškových budovách bylo nutné navrhnout další komunikační jádro, které bude přistavěno ze severní strany jako samostatná konstrukce. Toto řešení také zvýší stabilitu a statiku budovy. Konceptem studie je využít potenciál výškové budovy k vytvoření atraktivního bydlení v dané lokalitě. Jedním z problémů objektu jsou nízké světlé výšky v podlažích (2,55 m), které způsobují pocit stísněnosti v bytech. Proto byla navržena okna a zasklení fasády po celé výšce podlaží, aby se zlepšilo prosvětlení interiérů. Kvůli zasklení celé výšky patra byly navrženy horizontální protipožární předěly na úrovni jednotlivých podlaží a vertikální předěly v místech mezibytových stěn. Jde o kombinaci říms a vertikálních žiletek.
Pro zlepšení kvality životního prostředí a atraktivity objektu byly navrženy balkony s trvale udržovanou zelení. Tyto balkony, vzhledem k statice objektu, byly umístěny do rohů obdélníkového půdorysu, kde mohou být kotveny na průvlaky. Monotónnost podlaží byla zjemněna zvlněním balkonů a říms a zdůrazněna vertikálními prvky na fasádě. Zeleň na balkonech zlepšuje kvalitu bydlení a začleňuje budovu do okolního prostředí. Díky centrálnímu zavlažování je možné počítat s náhodným růstem zeleně v závislosti na světových stranách. Balkony rovněž fungují jako stínící prvky ve spojení s římsami a vertikálními prvky.
Hlavní vstup do objektu zůstává z východní strany ulice Gregorova, přístupný po stupňující se rampě. V přízemí objektu jsou převážně komerční prostory pro maloobchody. Ve vstupní hale je navržena recepce s lobby. Dispozice bytů byly rozděleny do čtyř kategorií: malé, střední, velké a mezonetové byty. Celkem je navrženo 76 bytů, které jsou symetricky orientovány k východní a západní straně. Atraktivní mezonetové byty se nacházejí v 19.–22. podlaží, s otevřenou galerií orientovanou na jihozápadní a jihovýchodní stranu. V druhém patře mezonetu není navržen balkón, což lehce naruší pravidelnost balkonů a naváže na nástavbu vyhlídkové kavárny. V rámci návrhu je na střeše stávající budovy umístěna dvoupodlažní nástavba. Celková výška objektu je 70,25 metrů. Kavárna nabízí velmi atraktivní výhled na okolní krajinu a budovu Nové radnice. Z terasy je výhled na všechny světové strany.
Fasáda domu je navržena z lehčených betonových panelů, které budou použity na balkonech, protipožárních předělech a na přistavěném vnějším jádru. Konstrukce balkonů a říms je navržena z lehčeného betonu Liapor.
K objektu přiléhá parkovací dům, jehož fasáda bude pokryta sítí s popínavou zelení. Na střeše parkovacího domu budou umístěny fotovoltaické panely, parkové úpravy pro obyvatele domu a komunitní zahrady, které mohou obyvatelé domu využívat.

The investment plan confirmed the technical feasibility of renovating this long-debated building while also providing a solution that preserves one of Ostrava's high-rise landmarks and introduces a completely new element to the area. It offers additional attractive housing in the city center, as well as a café with a panoramic view on the top floor of the building.
The existing building was constructed between 1965 and 1968 as part of the Jindřiška housing estate. Over time, it began to exhibit technical and operational problems. The skyscraper has 22 floors and was originally used as a residential building. Later, it was converted into office spaces, but today the building remains unused.
The investment plan involves creating an architectural, functional, and technical design for the reconstruction of the Ostrava skyscraper. The goal is to build apartments of various categories, integrate the building into its existing surroundings, and create spaces for relaxation and community gatherings. This design also takes advantage of the building’s height, as it stands 65.3 meters tall and ranks among the tallest structures in Ostrava, to establish a rooftop café with views of the surrounding landscape and the Beskydy Mountains.
The study had to consider the building’s layout, particularly its communication core. The existing core is inadequate in terms of escape routes and fire safety. Due to the requirements for evacuating people in high-rise buildings, it was necessary to design an additional communication core, which will be constructed on the north side as a separate structure. This solution will also enhance the building's stability and structural integrity. The study’s concept is to utilize the potential of the high-rise building to create attractive housing in this area. One of the challenges with the building is the low ceiling heights (2.55 m), which create a cramped feeling in the apartments. Therefore, windows and glazing were designed to extend the full height of each floor to improve the interior lighting. Due to the full-height glazing, horizontal fire-resistant partitions were designed at each floor level, along with vertical partitions at the intersections of apartment walls. This design features a combination of ledges and vertical blades.
To improve the living environment and enhance the building's appeal, balconies with permanent greenery were proposed. These balconies, given the building's structural requirements, were placed at the corners of the rectangular footprint, where they can be anchored to the beams. The monotony of the floors was softened by the undulation of the balconies and ledges, emphasized by the vertical elements on the facade. The greenery on the balconies enhances the quality of living and integrates the building into its surroundings. Thanks to a central irrigation system, the greenery can grow variably depending on the orientation towards the cardinal points. The balconies also function as shading elements, in combination with the ledges and vertical features.
The main entrance to the building remains on the east side, accessible via a rising ramp from Gregorova Street. The ground floor of the building is primarily designated for commercial spaces. A reception with a lobby is planned for the entrance hall. The apartment layouts have been divided into four categories: small, medium, large, and duplex apartments. A total of 76 apartments are proposed, symmetrically oriented towards the east and west sides. The attractive duplex apartments are located on the 19th–22nd floors, with open galleries facing southwest and southeast. The second floor of the duplexes does not include a balcony, slightly disrupting the regularity of the balconies but connecting with the rooftop café extension. The design includes a two-story extension on the roof of the existing building. The total height of the structure is 70.25 meters. The café offers highly attractive views of the surrounding landscape and the New Town Hall building. The terrace provides a view in all directions.
The building’s facade is designed with lightweight concrete panels, which will be used on the balconies, fire-resistant partitions, and the added external core. The balconies and ledges are designed using lightweight Liapor concrete.
Adjacent to the building is a parking garage, the facade of which will be covered with a mesh supporting climbing plants. Photovoltaic panels, landscaping for the building’s residents, and community gardens that residents can use will be placed on the roof of the parking garage.

Portum Towers in Bratislava represents residential project featuring two luxury apartments situated within high-rise towers. These apartments have been meticulously designed to offer not only comfortable living but also a unique aesthetic experience that will appeal to even the most discerning clients.
At the heart of the interior is a glass and steel staircase, whose delicate stainless steel and glass construction creates the illusion of floating in space. This iconic element, spanning two floors, brings a sense of lightness to the space while creating a distinctive and impressive environment.
The apartment design is thoughtfully executed down to the smallest detail. The primary unifying theme throughout the design is the use of illuminated blue stone and stainless steel. The spaces are conceived as generous open areas, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Bratislava. A striking highlight of the interior is the kitchen, equipped with designer furniture and a bar featuring pendant lighting. A large terrace wraps around the apartment on two sides, providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape. This outdoor area is ideal for relaxation or social gatherings, further connecting the interior with the exterior.
The hallways in the apartments are outfitted with built-in wardrobes and passages, whose doors are made of frosted glass, allowing natural light to filter through. This element, combined with large mirrors, enhances the sense of spaciousness and brightness.
The first floor houses an airy living room complete with its own bar, contributing to the luxurious character of the entire space. It flows into a lounge area with a glass staircase, where residents can relax or entertain guests.
On the mezzanine level, there are three spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, ensuring maximum comfort and privacy for residents. One of the bedrooms, the Master bedroom, is directly connected to the staircase and features a gallery with a library. It also includes a wellness bathroom with a whirlpool, a spacious walk-in closet, and a private terrace. This terrace provides an intimate outdoor space, ideal for relaxation. Additionally, there is a study adjacent to the bedroom, offering the convenience of a private workspace.
The large windows ensure that the interiors are bright and airy, highlighting the modern and elegant design throughout the space. This blend of luxury, functionality, and aesthetic appeal makes Portum Towers one of the most significant residential projects in Bratislava, embodying the epitome of contemporary living.

Naším návrhem jsem chtěli dát návštěvníkům možnost podívat se na autorovo dílo novýma očima. Aby si s Muchou mohli projít jeho bohatým životem, vidět, jak se vyvíjel, rostl a stárl, pochopit a sdílet jeho radosti, naděje i smutky a sledovat odraz jeho života v jeho díle a zároveň si uvědomit, nakolik jsou jeho názory i vlastenectví relevantní v dnešní době. Jednotlivé kapitoly jsou tak například laděny do škály barev a tahů štětcem, které v dané etapě života Mucha preferoval.
Vzhledem k tomu, že rodinná sbírka čítá přes čtyři tisíce uměleckých děl a je tak největším souborem Muchovy tvorby na světě, bylo třeba vybrat klíčová díla, která nejlépe reprezentují jednotlivé etapy Muchova života.

The new building of the University Center with its inner atrium accommodates the Rectorate administrative quarters and University Library of Tomas Bata University in Zlin. This scheme is a signature project for Eva, Zlin being her birthplace. The Library, formerly situated in old warehouses, formed part of a new development plan with a multi-purpose auditorium financed by the City of Zlin. The Library consists of two distinct volumes with 500 study spaces for students, and offices for the Rector and University administration, these being connected by a spacious top-lit atrium, used as a relaxation area and meeting point. The building was built on a relatively low budget and uses a passive energy system, clad in ceramic tiles complemented by efficient shading.

The client bought the site with a planning permit stating that the mass and plan size of any future development could be no more than a 13 x 13 m square with a height restriction of no more than two full floors above the ground, with “a room in the roof”.
The southern orientation, beautiful view, and garden location lead to a fully glazed southern elevation, resulting in solar gain that was controlled by substantial curved terraces designed to copy the movement of the sun.
The internal plan has a structural central core that contains a feature glass staircase and lift with a roof oculus allowing light to be channelled to the lower levels.
The structure is spanned from core to perimeter by a columnar grid, creating an open, flexible volume both vertically and horizontally. This is essential, as the layout is likely to change as the family grows and their needs change.
The living space is extended to the south by a walkway and terrace with views of the sunken water garden seen from both the terrace and the swimming pool, an area for secluded open bathing.
The house is designed to achieve environmental sustainability by maximizing passive energy (sun, heat, building mass etc.) while using natural ventilation. Floor heating is used throughout the building, with the winter heating cycle reversed in summer, allowing the addition of chilled water for cooling.

The Centre was developed as a multi-functional performance complex and permanent residence for the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic Orchestra. As the building is situated on a major intersection, the auditorium had to be isolated from all external noise, vibration etc. and for operational reasons, a circulation zone around the auditorium was a strict requirement. The oval central space is surrounded by offices, rehearsal rooms which all require natural ventilation and daylight. The versatile nature of the central halls, with retractable seats, creates flexible spaces used for staging operas, concerts, balls and conferences. These functions are served by adjacent hospitality areas situated on different levels.

The new 100 m long glass Orangery maintains the historic function of the 15thcentury site whilst creating an enclosure built to the architectural specifications of the 20thcentury. The construction is designed as a shell formed by a semi circular diagonal stainless steel mesh glazed with toughened laminated glass. The mesh is stabilised by glass and metal cross walls and supported at the back by a triangular truss which is to transfer both the horizontal and vertical forces of the enclosure. The internal spaces are column free yet function in three individual zones for differing climatic conditions. Automated roller blinds provide shade in the summer and insulation in the winter.

An architectural objective for the hotel was to incorporate large windows into the facade to make relatively small rooms more spacious, bright and improve views of the old City. The external facade is very simple and repetitive in terms of the rhythm of the windows and solid wall. The site was developed as two buildings divided by a garden and connected by a glass link. The ground and basement accommodate public spaces and the rest devoted to 110 bedrooms. The entrance foyer creates a calm space using a monochromatic scheme with flowers and selected objects displayed. Some bedrooms have glass bathrooms to give the internal space an extra dimension. Other rooms have stone clad bathrooms with bath or shower for a more private experience.

On the occasion of Eva Jiricna’s eightieth birthday, in cooperation with AI DESIGN Studio, the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art has prepared an extensive exhibition exploring various aspects of her work from the 1960s until the present day.
The JIRICNA exhibition used multimedia installations to present the work of Eva Jiricna, who is a world – renowed contemporary architect and also one of few women to have succeeded in this until recently purely male profession.
The exhibition featured samples of original design documentation and architectural models for a number of Eva Jiricna´s important projects. The centerpiece of the exhibition was a monumental glass staircase created in 1994 for the interior of the Paris branch of the Joan and David retail network. After the store closed in 1998, the staircase was disassembled and was transported to the Czech Republic on the personal initiative of Jiri Kejval. After more than 20 years it has now been restored especially for the exhibition at the DOX centre.

A meteorite struck Vojan Gardens. No one knows where it came from and why. However, the cosmic body has an extremely beautiful shape with a special atmospheric light. There are rumours that the meteorite did not fall by accident, but was directed to a clearly defined location, using unusual telepathic communication. The purpose of its presence sounds seemingly simple: to establish the order that has been so much needed for some time. Inappropriate behaviour and actions must be corrected or changed immediately. The mysterious meteorite has many features that are unusual on the planet, or, say, uncommon. One of them is invisibility. If the visitors wish to see the meteorite, they must first see themselves in the installed mirror and search their conscience. If they are innocent and cleansed of all falsehood or dishonesty, the meteorite is revealed to them in all its beauty and cosmic appeal. But if they are the ones who cause the mess and make life difficult for their closest ones, they should rather stay in the background. We don’t know what can happen, but anyway. What if it was true, after all?

V rámci našeho návrhu jsme velice pečlivě studovali stávající budovu od architekta Josefa Hlávky z roku 1875. Jde o velmi významnou stavbu postavenou v letech 1865-1875 v severoněmeckém novogotickém slohu. V současné době patří porodnice U sv. Apolináře mezi nejdéle nepřetržitě fungující porodnice světa. V posledních letech se v této porodnici narodí kolem 4.600 dětí ročně.
Na základě zadání od pana profesora Pařízka a pana profesora Plavky jsme analyzovali celý areál budov a hledali jsme vhodné místo pro neonatologii a porodní pokoje.
Z detailního rozboru areálu se nakonec jako nejvhodnější řešení pro umístění novostavby neonatologie jeví budova bývalé kotelny, prádelny.
Tato stavba byla v průběhu času různými necitlivými zásahy dostavována a přestavována a nakonec v roce 2012 byla kompletně přebudována na kuchyň.
V našem návrhu předpokládáme nahrazení tohoto objektu novostavbou téměř stejné půdorysné stopy a podobného objemu.
Abychom nenarušili celý areál kontrastní novostavbou, zvolili jsme kontextuální řešení, které celý komplex citlivě doplní.
Speciální pozornost jsme věnovali řešení fasád. Chtěli bychom použít plášť budovy, který bude z betonových panelů v barvě původní stavby s otisky originálních říms a detailů z historické stavby. Došlo by tak k návaznosti na původní stavbu ve smyslu dostavby ve 21. století.
Novostavba neonatologie má tři nadzemní podlaží a jedno podlaží podzemní.
Hlavní vertikální komunikace je uprostřed budovy při severní fasádě a dále na obou koncích je vždy jedno únikové požární schodiště.
Kolem celého obvodu stavby je anglický dvorek proto, aby místnosti v 1PP měly dostatek denního osvětlení a mohly být případně využity pro medicínské provozy. V 1PP je také umístěno technické zázemí stavby.
V prvním nadzemním podlaží se nachází hlavní vstupy do budovy směrem od historické stavby. Je zde též počítáno s příjezdem sanitek, v návaznosti na vertikální komunikaci.
V západní části půdorysu 1NP je jídelna s kapacitou 136 míst a kuchyň s vlastním zásobováním. Východní část je věnována výuce. Je zde výukový sál rodičů, a menší a velký výukový sál.
V prostřední části půdorysu v návaznosti na vstupy je ambulantní a administrativní část.
Na druhém nadzemním podlaží je neonatologie IMC s potřebným zázemím a na třetím nadzemním podlaží je neonatologie JIRP se zázemím.
3NP je propojeno s historickou budovou dvěma krytými mosty. Napojení novostavby na stávající budovu je v místě původní ploché střechy, kde budou vybudovány nové porodní pokoje s návazností na další nově vybudované provozy na druhém nadzemním podlaží historické budovy.
Na střeše novostavby je kromě části technického zázemí uvažovaná velká střešní terasa přístupná pro pacienty nemocnice.
Součástí návrhu je i citlivá rekonstrukce historické budovy porodnice včetně interiérů a všech fasád do původní podoby.

Nový vzdělávací objekt univerzity vyrostl během let 2015 - 2017 v ulici Štefánikově ve Zlíně. Komplex bude sloužit zejména studentům a pedagogům Fakulty humanitních studií, ale nejen jim.
Novostavba Vzdělávacího komplexu UTB se skládá ze dvou identických budov (křídel) o šesti nadzemních podlažích, vzájemně propojených přízemním vstupním objektem. V přízemí se nachází foyer s recepcí, velká posluchárna pro 240 osob a tři menší posluchárny pro 98, 70, a 72 osob. Zbývající plocha prvního nadzemního podlaží obsahuje učebny, pracovny, výstavní galerii, komunikační a technické místnosti. V dalších nadzemních podlažích jsou umístěny učebny, kabinety pedagogů, kanceláře a zasedací místnosti. Soubor dvou dominantních budov je provázán dvěma podzemními podlažími, v nichž se nacházejí garáže a provozně technické zázemí komplexu. Objekt je dostupný osobními auty, prostředky městské hromadné dopravy, ale i pěšky. Nachází se v centru Zlína v bezprostřední blízkosti dalších univerzitních budov.
Svou orientací a architektonickým řešením objekt respektuje urbanistický systém v dané lokalitě a plynule navazuje na stávající zástavbu. Vzdělávací komplex je třetí budovou, kterou AI - DESIGN pro město Zlín a Univerzitu Tomáše Bati navrhlo. Prvními dvěma byly Univerzitní centrum UTB a Kongresové centrum Zlín.

Café B.Braun is situated in famous functionalistic building ( Lekarsky dum ) in Prague. We re-opened the original two storey interior and added glass spiral staircase as a main feature. All historical elements were renovated and black and white colour scheme was chosen with respect of functionalistic style of the building. Medical products of company B.Braun, owner of the cafe, are displayed on walls.

For their temporary headquarters within existing premises, Vitra required a revised car park layout, a new entrance for directors and visitors, and the replanning and refurbishment of offices.
The design provides a concentric parking layout within the overall landscape scheme, centred around a new covered entrance ‘bridge’ and a gently rising staircase. This gives access to the building at first-floor level, where new reception facilities are located.
The main bridge structure consists of a tubular steel triangulated truss frame bearing on a single central support. Lateral restraint is provided at each end of the bridge through pinned connections. The deck consists of 20mm annealed glass treads supported off the main frame trusses on lightweight steel trestles. The balustrade is stainless steel. Its covering canopy takes the form of a pvc ‘tent’, designed as a double, curved membrane supported on a central spine space-truss. It is stabilised by cables anchored to a concrete foundation set in the ground.
In the car park, white and grey pebbles define the parking patterns, and low-level lighting is directed to landscaped areas planted with evergreens (juniper and thuja).
The first-floor reception area has a circular desk made of two types of wood – a black-stained veneer and a dark-stained cherry veneer. Fax facilities and storage are sited under the window sill. Reconstituted granite tiles are used for the floor. Two glass panels incorporate the sandblasted Vitra logo, and a lead cast features the Vitra philosophy. Furniture is by George Nelson and comprises coffee tables, ‘coconut’ chairs and a long ‘Marshmallow’ sofa.
A glass ‘fence’ acts as a dividing element between offices and factory, its suspended glass panels stabilised and tensioned by stainless-steel wires.

In a 17th century residential palace in central Prague, which has been in the same family for over three hundred years, the owner decided to convert the large loft space into a pied-a-terre.
The difficulties of getting an approval from historic building department for any alterations
to the roof (necessary for a sufficient amount of daylight) were not simplified by the fact that there was no access to the space except a 600 x 600 mm hatch, originally intended for chimney sweeps !
The original timber trusses were in a reasonable condition and provided a sympathetic feature to the final aesthetics of the reconstructed space, which, in spite of the installation of thermal insulation, did not lose its original historic character.
The total floor area is approx. 250 sq.m., comprising a large living space into which two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms have been inserted, almost as free standing 'cubes', leaving the main height of the space to run through without interruption.
The main reception floor is covered withlimestone tiles continuing way throughto the sleeping area and bathrooms. The bedrooms also have natural timber boards in a centralzone of the floor. Access to the apartment was eventually achieved via the empty lift shaft above the service staircase - originally designed for serving staff to bring food and firewood in to the first floor, without causing any interruptions. As the sandstone walls were not capable of taking any significant loading, the entire glass stair had to be suspended from the trusses from the loft level all the way down to the first floor. The principle of using a glass stair was initiated by the necessity of bringing daylight as deep as possible into the buildingand as a lightweight, translucent structure in a space that could easily feel confined. The articulation of the main space, with its natural geometry and large timber trusses, needed very little in terms of finishing and internal features.

St. Anne’s Church housed the monastery of Dominican Sisters in Prague’s Old Town. It’s origins lie in the C11th, firstly a Templar Lodge, built on and embellished during the 1320’s to become one of the most beautiful examples of Gothic religious architecture in Prague. In the late C17th the monastery was liquidated, the church deconsecrated, and many of the original Gothic features demolished. Wooden floors were installed, which have been preserved to date, and it functioned as a paper warehouse.
Vaclav Havel and his wife undertook to fund the rehabilitation and preservation of the building to serve as the base for their charitable foundation, VIZE 97, a multi-purpose venue seating up to 300 persons suitable for concerts, conferences, exhibitions, performances.

The brief was to upgrade and refresh the hotel for a relatively small investment. The main feature of the reception is the backlit yellow onyx wall, with desks in walnut and black lacquer, a tribute to the ambience of the ‘20’s. The theme continues throughout two guest salons, library and smoker’s room, and breakfast room with glass extension overlooking the landscaped courtyard. The furniture also reflects the period of the building’s origin, eg Eileen Gray chairs from La Maison de Verre by Pierre Chareau, in Paris. Graphics by Czech artists of the era are exhibited throughout the hotel, on loan from the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague.

To be or not to be... that’s a line from a famous play, and that was also the aim of the architects. They wanted this covered connecting corridor in the town of Klatovy to be and to serve its purpose, but at the same time they wanted it to not be seen. That’s why it is made entirely of glass, maximally transparent, and rounded. Originally, it was designed using large sections of glass, with the framework made of polished stainless steel, but ubiquitous budgetary constraints forced us to use smaller glass sections and a painted framework. To give a lighter impression we hung the corridor from the adjacent buildings and we illuminated the glass floor from below with blue light. In its environment of historical buildings, it gives the impression of a crystal-clear pond in the deepest of forests.

Bylo nebylo... tak začínají obvykle pohádky, a tak začínal i příběh tohoto projektu. Bylo nebylo, respektive bude nebude..., byl záměr tohoto projektu. Architekti chtěli, aby tato krytá spojovací lávka v Klatovech byla a sloužila svému účelu, ale aby zároveň v podstatě nebyla vidět. Proto je celá skleněná, maximálně transparentní a zaoblená. Původně byla navržena ze skel velkého formátu a konstrukce byla z leštěného nerezu, nicméně všudypřítomný tlak peněz architekty dotlačil k menším formátům skel a lakované konstrukci. Pro vzdušnější působení lávku zavěsili z okolních budov a skleněnou podlahu podsvítili modrým světlem. V prostředí okolních historických budov působí průzračná konstrukce jako křišťálová studánka, kde nejhlubší je les…

This particular scheme for Joan & David was to be their flagship London store, in the high-profile location of New Bond Street. A large corner shop window not only provided magnificent display potential but also allowed daylight to penetrate into the interior of the site. The two levels of the retail unit are connected by a sculptural glass stair, whose treads are supported off the structural spiral core. The floor is clad in a light limestone tile, which is complemented by the warm stained-maple furniture and the vertical, pivoted louvred window panels. The shoe display is arranged on illuminated glass shelves, whilst the clothes are arranged in a group of niches. These allow each element of the collection to be displayed independently. Purpose-designed sofas are covered in a natural shade of leather. A long display counter doubles as the cash desk, and a matching display cabinet is used for accessories and costume jewellery.

The five-star hotel and the famous Waldstein Restaurant are situated in the historical centre of Prague with bellow the Prague Castle.
During the reconstruction all the historical elements such as the plastering, painted ceilings, floors, valuable baroque roof construction were preserved and restored to their original condition. The hotel is furnished with fitted modern furniture and the design seating. Brazilian Nero Marinace illuminated stone highlights the bar and hotel reception desk. The courtyard is covered with a special light glass roof construction.
Three floors are connected with a glass elevator. Each room is original and some have glass bathrooms and some are fitted with a special cube unit containing a bathroom.
The well-known restaurant Waldstejnska hospoda has been also reconstructed with a new fresh look.

Boodles wanted to use this opportunity to create an impressive flag ship store on Bond Street which reflected their brand identity in every detail. The plans, material choices and details were developed in close collaboration with Boodles and the contractor and various manufacturers and suppliers. Some of the materials and details had been developed in previous stores but the majority of the design is bespoke for the Bond Street store.

The house was designed and built by Ove Arup in 1957, therefore it was essential to maintain the integrity of the original whilst modernising and extending it to suit the new owners. The interior refit retained the existing structure and heating system. The extension included a day room, sauna, shower, gym and pool. The new areas of accommodation wrap around the end of the pool opening and the pool itself sits parallel to the house.

The apartment is located in a house situated in a beautiful mountain surroundings.
SNOW, SUN, ICE and SNOWFLAKE are the winter motives that drew our attention throughout the interior. The SUN in combination with a SNOWFLAKE motive are used as the two original ceiling fitted lightings in the living area. The bar evoking an ICE cube is clad with a backlit glass of a sand blasted ICE texture. Similar motive is used for the cladding of the sauna blue illuminated in the relaxation area. The blue colour evoking a clear sky is used also in the light fixtures on the staircase leading to the second floor. The individual and various surface textures are used throughout the interior in a wood flooring and wood furniture. The fireplace cladding with the lime stone strips and also in the cladding of walls leading to the living area. Additional textile textures are applied in the warm bed covers and on seating at the fireplace area. In the sense of the original concept, two tables - dining table and conference table - were designed and inspired by the spatial structure of a SNOWFLAKE motive. These two tables were the first step toward the final concept of the four tables designed by Petr Vágner displayed and offered now for sale in our http://www.aidesign.cz/tables/

The concept of the new Gallery comprises of a two level arrangement. The upper level is situated in the middle of the space and it is connected to the lower level via a circular glass staircase. The internal envelope is designed as a continuous ‘tube’ inserted freely into the fabric of the existing building envelope. The zone between the two elements - the internal skin and the masonry – is used to accommodate all the services and built-in display cabinets. The jewellery is exhibited in a continuous chronological display.

All four penthouse apartments have spectacular views over the Thames. There are three two-storey flats of three bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, study, kitchen, dining and living areas, and one single-storey flat of two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, kitchen, dining and living areas. The spaces are as open plan as the building’s structure and building regulations would allow. Linear enhanced lighting in changing colours is provided in perimeter ceiling recesses within the living and master bedroom areas.
All stairs are positioned within the space linking the main entrance to the living room. In order to avoid a ‘corridor’ effect, glass was chosen to form the flight of steps leading to the upper level. In two of the apartments a combination of stainless-steel mesh and large glass balustrade panels creates a symbolic barrier between the stairs and a circulation area, maintaining the openness of a relatively tight part of the apartments.In another flat a series of hanging glass panels (supported by the vertical stainless-steel hangers forming the balustrade), together with the cantilevered glass treads, provides an even more dramatic openness to the staircase enclosure.

The bus station at Canada Water is situated above the new Jubilee Line Extension tube station, currently under construction. After arriving here by bus from neighbouring areas, people will be able to proceed by train to central London, and vice versa. Consequently, it was important that the bus station should relate to the exits from the tube station. The brief also called for bus shelters, a small block of offices, a services zone, public toilets, a bus control office and a kiosk serving refreshments. Due to the proximity of two high-rise blocks of flats, it was necessary to consider the potential effects of noise and pollution and the residents’ view of the various parts of the bus station.
The alignment of bus routes and waiting islands – together with the existing road system, the limitations of the boundary lines and the position of the tube station’s main exit ‘drum’ – in turn determined the siting of the bus station building, pedestrian circulation, and the extent of the ‘cover’. The relatively large roof is the main element of the scheme. Although its primary function is to provide acoustic protection for the nearby flats, by virtue of its sound-absorbing qualities it also improves conditions for passengers waiting within the station. The roof – in the form of wings connected by a glass ‘crystal’ – brings light into the central waiting area and provides ventilation during the summer.
The accommodation block in the centre, housing services for both the underground and bus station, is clad in reconstituted stone, with doors covered in rigidified metal to match the column cladding. Waiting areas are glass enclosures, situated under a low-level glass canopy which provides cover for passengers circulating between the drum and other waiting areas in the complex.
The northern boundary of the station is framed by a glass wall, with a view to a garden, and on the west side a block housing the Canada Water underground services incorporates a vertical glass clerestorey which was necessary to complete the acoustic performance of the enclosure. A section of this side is also glazed, giving a view of a landscaped garden.
To improve the environmental quality for passengers, the roof frames have glass ends to maximise daylight. At night the station is lit by uplighting from luminaires on the central column supports. The east side is formed by a mesh screen, a safety measure to prevent people from taking a hazardous short cut to the nearby residential development.
Materials were selected to achieve an overall impression of calm and comfort. The London stocks specified for the west wall by the Jubilee Line Extension team determined the choice and colour of all other materials, with added sparkle provided by the glass elements and stainless steel fixtures.

This apartment was formed from two attic flats on two floors joined together by opening up the space to create a double height living room. The impression of openness and light is enhanced by use of glass and stainless steel, not only for windows, doors and specially designed furniture, but also upper floor walls and a glass connecting bridge.

The apartment is located in the very heart of Mayfair, in a building of no particular interest which faces a noisy road on one side and a quiet but visually indifferent courtyard on the other. The client purchased the apartment in a very run-down condition with the intention of converting it into a pied-à-terre suitable for comfortable living and frequent entertaining.
The main feature of the apartment is a two-storey circulation space with a glass staircase and tall, fabric-covered aerofoil-shaped blinds which allow diffused light to penetrate without revealing the view onto an unattractive adjacent party wall. The reflective glass wall and glass floor give the impression that the space runs indefinitely into the distance as well as down into a reflected, mirrored vision.

Somerset House, a Grade I listed Palladian complex is considered as of the finest examples of English Heritage in London. As part of a long overdue refurbishment, EJAL was commissioned to do some studies to replace the existing north entrance, including a new feature staircase, lift & entrance lobby befitting of the Trustees’ future vision.
The solution provides a vertical, compact shaft with an ambitious cantilevered scissor stair that avoids contact with the historic building fabric. The natural desire for lightness & transparency in a restricted space with limited headroom meant the structure had to be limited with slim profiled edges, distributing loads to the central spine with a stainless steel mesh newel stabilising the stair and transferring loads to the basement.
The only material with the capability to achieve this was Ductal by Lafarge, an ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete, allowing beautiful cast 3D shapes.

The brief was to create a ‘contemporary light space’, enabling views to the garden from both the reception area and lower ground study. This was achieved by introducing a series of glazed rooflights over the courtyard kitchen (then open space), lounge, swimming pool with large glass sliding doors to the garden and terrace- the sense of quality natural light breathes a sense off freshness into the spaces. This is achieved over the courtyard kitchen by using a special diffusing glass that diffuses direct light in summer, whilst acting as insulation in winter
The main characteristic of the house is the focus on contemporary family life style- with the main living spaces (courtyard Kitchen and lounge) developed to allow congregations with family and for entertainment with both friends and guests. The materials in the project were chosen with one objective – the lightness of internal living spaces. The use of glass and natural light brings out the quality of materials such as the stone and lacquered furniture. The historic colour scheme dates to the 18thCentury and is extended into the contemporary spaces creating continuity between old and new. The richness of details in the historic is emphasised by the simplicity of the new which takes on its own inherent character.
A feature circular glass staircase (a design trade mark of Eva Jiricna Architects) emphasises the transition between the historic and new. It acts as pivotal point between the buildings as they change direction from the reception area to the kitchen aligned to the swimming pool and garden.

This was a retail unit on three levels of a very limited size. The main element of the brief was to find a unifying element that would entice the clientele to move around the shop. The problem with any public space on different levels is twofold: on the one hand we have a simple unwillingness to overcome physical obstacles, and on the other, perhaps, a reluctance to discover what we cannot immediately see.
The search for a connecting feature resulted in the design of a glass staircase that was practically a light ‘sculpture’, channeling the light from the very top to the very bottom. For the sake of speedy construction the staircase was designed as a kit of components to be assembled on site. The treads were used as a structural element and were suspended off the balustrading. The walls were finished uniformly in grey plaster, and furniture and fittings were manufactured from stained maple.

Due to increasing student numbers and the changing face of information technology, the university became aware of a need to extend the existing library, which was originally built in 1976.
After a feasibility study had been carried out, planning approval was gained in June 1994 following the development of a scheme in consultation with the University, librarians and student bodies. The design attempts to provide clean, light, flexible space in terms of layout, and for the future incorporation of changing technology, and to re-define external public spaces within the library precinct.
The main body of the 4000 m2 extension is open plan study space, suitable for book or terminal based learning, divided over four floors. Book storage remains in the existing building for which it was initially designed. The two areas are linked via a new core in a centralised position. The width of the building maximises the use of daylight via both translucent and clear glass allowing for views out while controlling solar gain by the use of external shading.
The structure of the building is a steel frame on concrete pads with pre-cast concrete floor slabs. A torsion detail at the perimeter allows for a ‘slim floor’ construction. The regular grid and structural system allowed for fast and economic erection. Bracing is provided by concrete shear walls in the cores.
In accordance with the university's environmental policy, a mechanical fresh air system has been selected in association with the pre-cast floor planks as distribution which utilises the mass of the structure for passive cooling to reduce the daily 'flywheel' effect. The ‘Termodeck’ system, used extensively in Scandanavia for efficient heating, can produce a high fresh air input associated with air movement without the need for chiller plants. Background heating is provided by perimeter radiators. Early feed back from the installation indicates extremely efficient performance.
Lighting and data cabling has been integrated for a high degree of flexibility.
The new entry block forms a pavilion and focal point to the external landscape space between two existing buildings. A high degree of transparency gives a light airy space for control desk facilities and general circulation. A fabric canopy structure identifies the entrance and provides protection.
The external cladding to the building is a warm grey terracotta tile acting as a rain screen, giving a crisp modular appearance whilst being sensitive to its environment and context. This German product, while used widely in Europe, was first used in the U.K. on this project.
The landscaping scheme is an extension of the established design for the neighbouring engineering building, with additional soft landscaping around the base of the new extension including new trees on the adjoining street. Disabled provisions have been considered at all stages, both internally and externally, to allow easy use of all areas of the building.

POŘIĎTE KRÁSNÝ DÁREK A PODPOŘTE S NÁMI KAPKU NADĚJE.
Limitovanou kolekci nápojového skla - karafy a sklenic - navrhla architektka Eva Jiřičná pro Nadační fond Kapka naděje.
Pro tento unikátní projekt, který vznikal několik měsíců v Praze, Londýně a Novém Boru, jsme se rozhodli okamžitě! Vše se tvořilo tak přirozeně a lehce, že se nám ani nechce věřit, že už je na světě. Vznikla nejen krásná spolupráce s Kapkou naděje a Crystalexem, ale i originální skleněná kolekce z rukou Evy Jiřičné, kterou si může užít každý z Vás.
Velký dík ještě patří Studiu Najbrt za jejich grafický návrh obalů.
„Jedním ze základních zákonů lidskosti je pomoci, kde můžeme. Kapka naděje pomáhá mnohým a měla bych velkou radost, kdyby moje malá pomoc dokázala naději obrátit v realitu. Každý jakkoliv malý příspěvek je potřebnou součástí uskutečněného snu.“ říká Eva Jiřičná, architektka a autorka designu.
Sklo fascinovalo Evu Jiřičnou od dětství. Sama vzpomíná, jak ráda si hrávala s malými sklíčky. Různě je natáčela ke světlu a s úžasem sledovala, jak proměnlivě se v nich odráží. Byla to láska na první pohled, která ji evidentně nikdy nezradila a neopustila. Inspirována hrou světla a skla dospěla k myšlence svého prvního originálního skleněného schodiště a posléze i k odvážným projektům budov, v nichž sklo jako konstrukční element používá tam, kde je potřeba přivést do interiéru přirozené světlo.

A multi-generational villa from 1928 stands in a garden in a quiet part of Michle, on a corner plot between V Úhlu and Průčelní streets. Over time, garages and a garden shed were added at the edge of the property. The investor's wish was to create two fully functional apartments and to better connect the lower unit with the garden. The house is elevated half a floor above the garden. The investor also considered demolishing the entire house and building a new one. However, the emotional attachment to the existing house ultimately led to the decision to take on the more challenging path of renovation with an extension toward the garden.
From the very beginning, the client had a clear vision of how they wanted their home to look, even bringing us a sketch with a planned extension. The kitchen was already thought out in detail as well. At first, this seemed like it might complicate our collaboration, but in the end, the client's clear vision and attention to even the smallest details significantly contributed to the successful outcome.
The owner's apartment is located on the first floor, with a new connection to the garden through the extension. The frameless glazing of the entire extension is designed to maximize this connection. The second floor and attic belong to the second apartment. The basement houses the technical facilities.
The extension and new canopy over the entrance are designed as simple folded slabs of exposed concrete. Their minimalist design is intended to clearly distinguish between the original and the new. The goal was not to disrupt the existing structure but to complement it. Apart from minor adjustments related to the change in the interior layout, the original facade configuration of the house has been preserved.
The garden has been enhanced with a jacuzzi and a partially in-ground pool. The garages and entrances to the property have also been modified.
Thanks to the homeowner's approach and dedication throughout the project, meticulous attention to detail was achieved. Despite the greater challenges during construction and maintenance, they were not afraid to pursue less conventional solutions, resulting in a minimalist and clean aesthetic.

Vícegenerační vilka z roku 1928 stojí v zahradě v klidné části Michle, na rohové parcele mezi ulicemi V Úhlu a Průčelní. Na hraně pozemku byly postupně doplněny garáže a zahradní sklad. Přáním investora bylo vytvoření dvou plnohodnotných bytů a větší propojení spodní jednotky se zahradou. Dům je oproti zahradě o půl patra vyvýšen. Investor zvažoval i variantu celý dům zbourat a postavit novostavbu. Nakonec zvítězila citová vazba ke stávajícímu domu a rozhodl se jít složitější cestou rekonstrukce s přístavbou směrem do zahrady.
Hned od začátku měl klient jasnou představu, jak má jeho bydlení vypadat, dokonce nám přinesl skicu s naplánovanou přístavbou. I kuchyň už měl promyšlenou do posledního detailu. Nejdřív se nám to jevilo pro spolupráci komplikovanější, ale nakonec se ukázalo, že právě investorova jasná představa a zaměření na i sebemenší detail výrazně přispěly k dobrému výsledku.
V prvním patře se nachází byt majitele, který je přes přístavbu nově napojen na zahradu. Bezrámové zasklení celé přístavby má toto propojení maximálně podpořit. Druhé patro a podkroví náleží druhému bytu. V suterénu je pak technické zázemí.
Přístavba a nová markýza nad vstupem do domu jsou řešeny jako jednoduché zalomené desky z pohledového betonu. Svým minimalistickým pojetím mají jasně vymezit původní a nové. Cílem bylo stávající hmotu nenarušovat, pouze doplnit. Až na drobné úpravy související se změnou dispozičního řešení je původní členění fasád domu zachováno.
Zahrada je doplněna o jacuzzi a bazén, částečně zapuštěný do terénu. Také jsou upraveny garáže a vstupy na pozemek.
Díky přístupu majitele domu a jeho úsilí během celé realizace se podařilo docílit precizního detailu. I za cenu větších komplikací při realizaci a údržbě se nebál méně standardních řešení, která ve výsledku působí minimalisticky a čistě.
