QARTA
NEW INVALIDOVNA
Architectural Study for TRIGEMA developer Revitalization of the Surroundings of Invalidovna Metro Station (in Prague).
My own responsibility was layout design of two apartment buildings and co-living building. Consulting design with senior architect, engineers and investor. Cooperation on facade and public space design with senior architect.
An important aspect of the design is freeing up space at the current school site, allowing us to accentuate the house, which is a monument and deserves good visibility. This is the building of the hotel currently called Expo.
Another important aspect of the design is working with the ground floor. The public space is vast. From the current tram stop, we perceive it further across the entire area between the „square“ in front of the Expo hotel to the metro station. For this reason, we intentionally chose a light, airy form for the middle building. It is largely cantilevered and hovers above the public ground floor and is completely passable.
This is also reflected in the proposed facade principle. The two end buildings have a modest facade form in a regular system of facade panels. In contrast, a light facade is designed in a slightly undulating form with projecting balconies for the middle building. Volumetrically and in terms of height, the design is also conceived to harmonize with the surrounding buildings.

MY HOUSE - FACTORY
Architectural Study for Charles Butler
Mixed use building in Prague centre - Karlin.
ul.Šaldova
My responsibility on this project was layout design - mostly layouts of apartments. Consulting design with senior architect, engineers, and investor. Cooperation on the facade and public space design with senior architect. 3D modeling, and graphical design for project presentation.
The site is situated in Karlin - historicaly this was industrial part of the city. On our site used to be a factory. We integrated this building into the facade of the new design.
The „factory“ now houses offices, with a residential building rising above it. Additionally, we expanded the block with mainly residential development, with retail on the ground floor and offices on the second floor. Karlin is characterized by densely built blocks, including within inner courtyards. Therefore, we complement the resulting inner courtyard with low-rise townhouses. The facade responds to all these interventions, whether through its complexity or choice of materials. The corner building with the factory is accentuated. The factory is designed as brickwork made of glass bricks, with a lightweight structure above it. The massing has been strategically recessed in places to add lightness to the building. The rest of the design is more restrained, ensuring it doesn‘t overshadow the „factory“ or the surrounding architecture.

VLTAVA PHILHARMONIC
The main objective was to achieve a view of Hradčany from the foyer of the building. Therefore, the design generously extends above the level of the Vltava River, precisely 60 meters from the shore.
The building‘s shape clearly defines the direction for its visitors and what their goal is. Whether outside, when they step out of the train and head closer towards the main entrance, through which they can see further into the interior. Or when they ascend the main staircase to the foyer. Here, they either follow the path to one of the concert halls or enjoy a dinner in the restaurant with a view of the sunset behind Hradčany.
“Every nation has a palladium of its own embodying past and future history. Ever since my boyhood I felt and saw in the architectural lines of St. Vitus Cathedral built so close to the castle, a powerful interpretation of our national symbol. I could, therefore, select no other subject for my design than Hradčany Castle and the surrounding architecture of the Middle Ages.”
A. Mucha to the stamp motif
I am close to Mucha‘s idea that it is a symbol embodying past and future times. It seems to me that a building so important to music in this country should also relate to Hradčany and the surrounding architecture. In my case, it is the visual contact of these places. Design does not try to overshadow the most important landmark, but looks up to it.

All operations are located around the core. Around them, there is a free space in front of the facade - the foyer. Among other things, the decks connect the individual structures and ensure the stability of the building.
Columns on the facade - they form two circles around the building. The inner circle connects the roof and the structural floor at the 8th floor. The outer circle forms the facade, which encloses the concert halls. They connect two inclined planes and are linked through the inner circle to the core and the decks.

HYBRID BLOCK SMÍCHOV
This project aims to create a hybrid block. I used all the possible space that the site offers and completed a city block with one building. The main goal was to create a pleasant space for people and their free time activities.
The building consists of two volumes. The lower one is dedicated to public functions. Visitors can find here a cafe on the ground floor level and a sports center (dancing halls, a climbing wall, and a fitness).
On the rooftop of this part, there is a garden with a playground, greenery, and summer theatre. The garden plane is wavy which creates a significant line on the facade.
Above mentioned garden floats the second volume. This one consists of apartments, shared spaces, and double-storey wellness.
The facade is designed from curved perforated metal sheet panels. This allows sunlight in the interior but at the same time functions as sun shadowing. Additionally, it makes the whole building look lighter.
ADRIAPORT - CUSTOMS 05
CUSTOM HOUSES AT ADRIAPORT ISLAND
NEW CZECH ISLAND IN THE ADRIATIC SEA
The 1.5 X 1.5 km big island is mainly a cargo port, a container depot, and a freight station. Workers live in a linear city. Linear city has a park on one side and a beach on the other. All buildings are made of shipping containers, of which, thanks to the cargo port, there is plenty.
location: Adriatic sea
Island:
Control towers - oversees the operation of the port, especially transhipments, and warehouses, and inspects individual containers.
Both types have a common principle: A core of 20‘ containers, where there are sanitary facilities, meeting rooms, and mostly offices. These are surrounded by a steel structure that serves as communication. Around the perimeter are attached smaller 10‘ containers. Each such container forms an office for one customs officer.
The difference between buildings is that the central has small offices starting from the ground floor. While at the control towers these offices start on the 5th floor. There are 4 control towers evenly placed around the cargo port.

ARNIKA - SPA CINEMA
The main idea of our project is that we have a town inside a town. These two towns can coexist together, and they are not interfering with each other. That is the reason why the whole complex is situated under the ground. We also do not want to take space from people away. That led us to create an accessible roof for our complex, where people would be free to walk. It would fluently connect the street in the north of the site and park in the south. This roof would be made of translucent or transparent material (depending on how much light is needed in the building below).
SPA CINEMA - CELL 15A cinema, which connects relaxation in a jacuzzi with watching a film. The cinema is made up of polygonal steps that contain rounded whirlpools in which you can relax and at the same time watch a film that is projected above your head. These steps are at different levels, but the height difference is not big, so it is comfortable to move from one to another. Above this auditorium, there are two screens hanging from the ceiling. One horizontally and the second one is a little bit turned.

SPA CINEMA - CELL 15
A cinema, which connects relaxation in a jacuzzi with watching a film. The cinema is made up of polygonal steps that contain rounded whirlpools in which you can relax and at the same time watch a film that is projected above your head. These steps are at different levels, but the height difference is not big, so it is comfortable to move from one to another. Above this auditorium, there are two screens hanging from the ceiling. One horizontally and the second one is a little bit turned.
The area around Rusałka is a convenient place for birdwatching. Birdwatching is becoming more and more popular in Poland as a way to spend free time, maintain contact with nature, as a form of recreation, but also a practice of mindfulness and mental health care.
Thanks to numerous conversations with ornithologist and analysis of the characteristics of the place, a design of the object was created in a form of which forces users to observe in a lying position, and directs their eyes to the water and rushes inhabited by many species of birds. The entrance to the structure was designed so that people could enter through them individually, and the transparent facade discouraged the use of this place for, for example, drinking alcohol. The outer walls of the observatory were tanned on one side to simultaneously impregnate the wood and create an interesting two-colored facade effect. The final effect can be seen even from the other side of the lake, because the structure is over three and a half meters high. At the entrance to the structure there is information about bird species that can be observed on Lake Rusałka and a brief description of the project.
