In the spirit of classical architectural forms, our design for this apartment building unifies the public space of a valuable location and offers high quality housing, on the site of the hotly debated “Maršmeloun” in the immediate vicinity of the St. Agnes Monastery.
The building’s form is based on the traditional concept of the façade – we designed the first to fourth floors with a structured division and a distinctive texture with a combination of grey-beige and white plaster. The upper two floors of the house are distinguished by the material – crowned with brass cladding which is also referenced on the window openings within the floors below. The building offers views of the historic centre and across the Vltava River to Letna. Owing to the layered design of the building and the colours of the materials, the upper part naturally integrates into the roof scape of the surrounding city.
The architectural details of the building are based on traditional, high quality materials. The architecture of the entrance hall, staircases and corridors is based on the concept of the whole building; a simple form which is functional using materials including stone and solid wood. The design of the apartments follows the same concept and is intended to provide users with maximum comfort and provide a high standard of living. The smaller apartments are located on the 1st to 4th floors, whereby the premium apartments are on the 5th and 6th floors with views of the surrounding city.
I am the registered architect and university teacher, the working architect lacking theory who thus (occasionally) creates it (on his own); the principal, conceptual architect, visionary, philosophy and sociology adept and planner. I am interested not only in buildings and interiors but also in complex development of localities and settlements, public area and always holistic approach. With thirty years of experience, I am the partner to rely on in any type of project. I am occasional yachter, skier, snowboarder, biker and kick-boxer and a father of four children.I am the registered architect and university teacher, the working architect lacking theory who thus (occasionally) creates it (on his own); the principal, conceptual architect, visionary, philosophy and sociology adept and planner.

I have worked for the studio for many years at various positions from a new entrant to the head architect. I manage projects from construction design to project implementation documentation. I like having a break from administrative issues related to job orders and designing and I create CG graphics and architectural visualization. I cooperated with my colleagues on creation of the master plan of the South Port in Helsinki, the New Landhauska Apartment Building, New Žižkov Centre, U Milosrdných Apartment Building and many other projects.
I graduated in architecture in the UDP-FAAD in Santiago de Chile. In the last 5 years I have been working on different projects and offices in Chile as in personal projects in the south of my country, especially in Patagonia.During this time I have successfully completed different types of project such a residential buildings and houses designs, renovations of heritage buildings, landscape projects and sports infrastructures. I believe that architecture is a means to interpret and critically project the territory and its components, rural and urban, natural and artificial, away from a reductive and idealized vision of reality. A space for the production of organization and form, using design as a strategic transfer system capable of opening new possibilities in the ways of life and occupation of space.
