This project focused on new public spaces in the modern suburb of the historical city of Trenčín. Our proposal both respected and was inspired by the rich history of the area, where new sustainable interventions defined revitalized spaces for meeting and relaxing in the city. The scheme included new squares which were formed with interactive areas, a park, new landscaping along the main avenues including spots for relaxing, and a pop-up venue on the roof of a large building at the former garrison club.
Our proposal seeks to regenerate the main streets with new lighting and street furniture to improve public surveillance and safety, and provide welcoming public areas which can be used for café and restaurant seating, and occasional markets. Connectivity is important to the area and a new bike path and public transport stop is integrated into the plan. The interesting history of the area is referenced in the design of two areas at the site, which are linked to cultural and social events. The main ‘Divadelní’ (Theatre) square in the south of the site is intersected with a line of uncovered historical finds which become the main feature of the urban design. In the north part of the site, near the municipality’s offices and marriage hall, the remains of the town’s historical fortifications were incorporated into a new small square. The microclimate of the different parts of the site were taken into consideration with its planning – materials, outdoor furniture, trees and water features are all used to regulate the outdoor environment and provide comfortable spaces.
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 am a copywriter, media planner and very often also a graphic designer responsible for studio publicity, presentation, social media and new website contents. I write articles about our architecture and document our achievements. I sometimes switch from social networks and articles to graphic design and help my colleagues with presentations, portfolio for our clients and design. I joined the studio in 2018 while in last year of my Master degree programme focusing on environmental design and visual communication at the Technical University in Liberec.
