It is being built on the Old Town Square. Restaurants, spas, conference facilities, bars and top quality rooms. All this awaits the visitors of the grand hotel according to our design.
In the hands of a team of our architects, the long-closed Sixt's Palace comes to life. The most interesting reconstruction of historic buildings in the last few decades is taking place on the Old Town Square. Thanks to a sensitive reconstruction, the neglected complex of Sixt's Palace will finally open to the public, Praguers and hotel guests.
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 came from Plzeň in 1991, at early dark ages of the company and equipped with only a set of technical drawing pens, tracing paper roll, rulers, and acrophobia. And today, I am still with the company as a technical director. Sometimes, I am at the table buried in paperwork, some other time my shoes are dirty with mud from the site, but usually I am satisfied with what we have managed to build. At present, I am working on the design of a new hotel Ritz – Carlton at Old Town Square, Prague; master plan of the residential complex at Na Vackově, Prague where the formation of a completely new district is in progress; and I am also working on the extension of the La Lorraine production plant in Kladno.
I am an architect interested in industrial architecture, conversions, and small alterations. I am a head architect of partial sections of large projects: Jinonice Château, conversion of the former Perla 01 area or new offices of Čedok travel agency. After work I relax dancing swing, taking pictures or cooking.
I started to work for the studio in 2015, completely unaware of architectural practice. From “flower-watering” girl I have moved up to the position of the architect and designer. Together with my colleagues I have created the design of the New Landhauska Apartment Building and I also contributed to the design of New Žižkov Centre.
I come from Košice where I graduated from the Faculty of Arts of TUKE, Architecture and Urbanism filed. So I have decided to reap these 6 years in Prague Among other things, I like art deco, recycled and recyclable materials, dogs, history and lunch breaks. By the way, my name translated into Czech is Jindřiška, but don’t use it. I am working on the project of Benzina focusing of modernization of Benzina filling stations in the territory of the Czech Republic and partially in Slovakia. I am responsible for coordination of our team and technical architects, communication with all parties and operative solution of possible issues. I also work on extension of La Lorraine bakery plant in Kladno. I have designed the main reception with training rooms and other additional features, implementation project of reconstruction of office premises as well as new technical building.
I had a chance to get familiar with what a project of a listed building restoration means while studying. At present, I continue dealing with the same topic so I can help integrate historic buildings into everyday life whether it is a hotel or an apartment building. I devote my spare time to music, especially choir singing, and travelling.
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.
