The new fire station is one of the results of the gradual implementation of the Architectural Concept, which we developed for Úsilné in 2012 and which we are gradually fulfilling in its individual parts. We had started with a multi-purpose playground, continued with the fire station and we are preparing other buildings for the construction.

The new fire station stands on the periphery of the village next to the old fire station, which was always more of a background for athletes and other associations than a real fire station.

The fire station serves the Úsilné Volunteer Firefighters. The Volunteer Firefighters are a large association with many voluntary activities. So they need not only a garage, a workshop, but also a large common room where they hold meetings, install children’s bouncy castles, exhibitions and in the meantime park the old red and white Avia.

We have designed a building that does not raise expectations in terms of scale or appearance. It hides inside generous garage / hall spaces, smaller common rooms, workshops and facilities. Lapidary floor plan free of ballast. Gray concrete masonry, unsealed joints, rough seams and red floor.

The new kindergarten building is designed as an orangery pavilion in a garden and a town house on a street. It fits sensitively into the rectangular urbanism of the surroundings, has a clear spatial scheme, is surrounded by a large garden and pays attention to simple energy logic.

In a number of projects, we work on the design of small settlement centers. We think about their physical form in relation to the life that happens in them. These are urban planning projects, studies of public spaces, street reconstruction designs, architectural concepts of municipalities, projects of major municipal and urban institutions.

In this case, the design deals with a new Slovak city near Bratislava. In the area of the Danubian Lowland, a flat area with no clear landmarks, to which we are usually accustomed in our work. The design is about defining the centre, the identity of the new city, which absorbs the two current towns into itself.

A small family house with an archetypal shape and a distinctive wooden structure. Wooden building based on footings. The ground floor has an entrance hall, bathroom and a living room with a kitchenette. Quiet, wood-scented space framed by a symmetrical structure. Connected to the garden view in all seasons. In winter, there is heat coming from the fireplace in the middle of the layout. A bedroom and a guest room on the first floor.
