The multi-purpose playground in the South Bohemian village Úsilné was built as the first building according to the architectural concept of the village from 2013. The playground with a tartan surface and a simple purpose-built wooden building / grandstand and facilities are part of ambitious municipal plans including a federal house, sauna, social housing etc.

The building is 38 m long, made of sawn timber treated with a light glaze. The walls are covered with feather edge boards, on the outer wall is a 40 m long inscription with the designation of the sports ground and a stylized symbol of the village – a donkey’s head.

The first stage of the reconstruction concerns the foyer of the cinema building, built in Liberec in 1923 by local architects Effenberger and Noppes. The construction of the “Cinema Café” in the Cinema Varšava was the first stage of civic activity, which sought to repair the dilapidated building of the last city cinema, participate in the creation of local culture and create a federal house in the renovated building. The original building has a number of architectural qualities, the basic house layout makes appropriate use of the dramatic view of the Liberec terrain.

The design and implementation arose from the voluntary activities of the association, were influenced by the quality of the original building and were created with the knowledge that the funding for the construction is obtained by the association, the contribution of the city and the region, but mainly from public collection and supporting local companies.

The new buildings of the federal house and gazebo are located on the grassy square Pod Kaštany. The spot is adjacent to the main road passing through the village and the St. Wenceslas pilgrimage is traditionally held there. This pair of buildings borders the plaza and at the same time turns into it. Federal house with a row of high glass doors, gazebo with a covered deck. The layout scheme works even if only one of the buildings is built. A new house will always dominate the Pod Kaštany area.

The location for placement of the Federal House and the wooden gazebo was selected in the architectural concept, which we developed in 2013.

We propose a construction of both public and private buildings in more or less traditional urban form. Apartment buildings with workshops, mercantile, shared spaces on the ground floor. On higher floors, there are flats of varying sizes, for various groups of users. The houses have gardens in inner blocks, which can be approached either through the house or right from the street.
We propose an extension of the historical factory building “Linserka” with a generous universal hall. The hall and various levels of the extension can be used in numerous ways, as per the needs of the creative city quarter.
An overwhelming majority of Papírák is a residential zone. This solution enables us to free the public space from division caused by other transport classifications. Thus, we open the public space to people instead of making it subservient to transport classification. In this simple solution, there lies a primary way of finding a necessary universality and usability of shared public spaces!
We create the unique character of the quarter especially by keeping the scale of buildings rather small, and by traces of historical blocks.

The scale of Papírák is not determined by regulations and sizes of automobiles and their operation, the scale of Papírák is human, determined by the needs of a human – a pedestrian, a cyclist, a runner, a neighbour. We divide the blocks in a traditional way – a house / a wall, private / public – with clearly defined borders. We use traditional materials and develop the theme of water and trees in the streets.

Renovation of a flat on the 4th floor of a 20s – 30s apartment building in Prague, Dejvice.

The proposed solution maintains the original principle of separating two functionally different parts, that is the resting part and the day part. The facilities, meaning the bathroom, toilet and the storage space, are concentrated in the middle of the space. The motif of an illuminated foyer is newly reinforced by the lighting going both ways through the glass door into the study and into the opposite living room. Also, the visual interconnecting of these three spaces provides a significant residential value. By connecting the original bedroom and living room, a generous 50m space has been created – a living room with a kitchen, fireplace and a library. The western resting part is comprised of already mentioned study, which, when the time comes, can be easily converted into a children’s bedroom, the main bedroom and the bathroom with two entrances – from the hall and from the bedroom foyer. Aside from the toilet in the bathroom, there is a separate toilet in the foyer. The abolished pantries have been replaced by numerous built-in wardrobes, surrounding the core of the flat.
