A wooden, nearly zero-energy, passive house build on a hill, following the Feng Shui principles, that’s not something you see every day. Yet, the Czech Republic-based company Lucern Drevostavby creates such houses daily. It’s their mission to create healthy, environment-friendly homes where people feel good. Passive house with a ventilation systemSince it is not comfortable to live in a well-insulated, passive house without a ventilation system, Lucern Drevostavby contacted our Czech client, Beam CR s.r.o.. They advised and installed a Renson ventilation system. The owner of the house liked the idea of a heat-recovery system. So, Beam installed our Renson Endura Delta D+ system. A Renson D+ system is a so-called balanced ventil... Mais

Tudo começou com a compra de uma casa por nossos clientes, com mais de cem anos. O edifício tradicional com um telhado de duas águas estava no fim. Seu porão de pedra ainda estava em boas condições, por isso decidimos derrubar o resto da casa e usar o suporte de pedra no porão como base para a nova casa. Nosso plano corajoso e um tanto arriscado deu certo e hoje os clientes moram em uma casa bonita e moderna que combina a alma histórica de sua estética antecessora e nórdica com um toque de estilo industrial. O que podemos dizer? O caminho para o sucesso nem sempre é fácil, mas vale a pena fazer um pouco de esforço extra.   O lote faz fronteira... Mais

About the exhibitionThe 100th anniversary of Czechoslovak Republic was used as an opportunity to look into the Memory of the Nation. We chose periods and events which had shaped the modern history of this nation. We work with subjective memories.Due to the contemporary disturbances of the principle of democracy and respect to human rights, we think it necessary to remind ourselves that the civil freedom is nothing that comes as a matter of course. This is the reason why we have decided to focus our exposition on the totality in Czechoslovakia in 1939 to 1989 and on the fight against this totality. The former monument of the dictator J. V. Stalin is a suitable venue for this. It symbolises humiliation and servitude at the time of communism a... Mais

Author's report The hotel rooms are located in the former Měšťák Hotel, in the very centre of Český Krumlov. Originally three separate Gothic houses from the 14th century were joined into one complex in the 1950s. Unfortunately, the houses have undergone several large renovations during their life (last one in the 1990s), having had most of their original details, with a few exceptions removed. One of such exceptions is the 'presidential suite' with its preserved carved Renaissance beam ceiling. In the design, we tried to bring the buildings' long lost nobleness back into the rooms and also introduce something from its original features - wooden beam ceiling and parquet floors. The other materials and details are completely contem... Mais

 The SPOJOVNA brewery is located on the border of three Prague districts - Chodov, Kunratice and Šeberov. This area is unique for its composition of residents.  It is a blend of different worlds (which are also a beer names): študák, being represented by a student hostel, kravaťák – a business one in the nearby office park, and fešák - the common life of the housing estate inhabitants. These worlds intersect in the new brewery. The lunches belong to white collars and the evenings to students and locals.Hence the name of the brewery - SPOJOVNA (THE LINK INN).The grounds consist of the brewery house with its background and a restaurant, a large garden with an outside bar for various sports and cultural activities.&nbs...
