Hloubětín residential park is the first passive energy project of its size in the Czech Republic. The site is situated in an urban area and consists of three buildings which are situated in a unique park with one of the buildings acting as a barrier to shield the site from a noisy petrol station and busy road. Our design for the site entailed creating public spaces which were articulated using harmoniously structured façades, based on a combination of exposed wall and loggia areas. It was our aim that the project combined materials in a way that gave the scheme a local identity and provided a high standard of living, including controlled ventilation and heat recovery systems.
MS architekti used the challenging surrounding area as an opportunity to create an interesting configuration of buildings, providing the development with protection from its busy surroundings. The scheme features a public park at its centre, which is based on dynamic landscaping features including the planting of mature trees, grown in a local nursery. The construction took place in three stages with one apartment building constructed in each stage. The jury of the 13th year of a Czech competition – ‘2014 Czech Energetic and Ecological Project awarded the Hloubětín Park with an accolade as a “significant residential complex in Prague applying elements of passive energy architecture and improving the environment in the Czech Republic”.
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.
