A.03 is a small-scale takeaway café that rethinks the traditional café experience by shifting its main space toward the end of the site. This spatial arrangement creates a more intentional setting for presence, observation, and interaction with the surrounding environment. Rather than focusing solely on movement and service, the project emphasizes pause, watching, and experiencing the atmosphere of the place. Reza jafari Reza jafari More

The Lobis apartment building in Brixen underwent a fundamental transformation. The upper floor and attic of the four-storey building from the 1960s were demolished and rebuilt in solid wood construction. The ground floor and basement remained unchanged and form the base of the new building. Oliver Jaist Oliver Jaist In addition to the main two-storey apartment, a small granny apartment was created. The walls and ceilings of the extension were prefabricated in CLT and insulated with wood fiber insulation; the silver fir cladding was impregnated with a black paint. The monochrome timber façade stands out visually from the light-colored, plastered base and zones the building. Oliver Jaist Oliver Jaist Oliver Jais... More

Since the restaurant already had an established brand and its own philosophy, it was important to create a space that would reveal the existing ideology, become its logical continuation. The task was to design a cozy interior, not overloaded with unnecessary details and decorations, so that the main focus remains on the food, and the context does not distract from it. Anton Ivanov The underlying theme is the forest as a natural space, inside which you can feel really cozy. We chose solutions in terms of materials and light, relying not only on visual images, but also on tactile sensations, smells and sounds: the rustling of the grass, touching wood bark with the fingers, the crackling of a fire. We tried to recreate these sensations t... More

Reconstruction of history They do not always build offices in new modern administrative buildings with doubled floor and modular layout system. Sometimes, the company decides to stay in their long-term headquarters and renovate it. Even if it has some bad predisposition and restrictions, but also it’s own Genium loci and history.

While different in personalities, the two brothers share a preference for a minimalist home with distinct elements. For the design of this 400m2 5-room resale apartment in Singapore, we proposed the use of the colour black as a thematic element given its toned-down masculine and modern qualities. The colour is strategically balanced with other contrasting blocks of colour such as blues and browns to break up the otherwise claustrophobic effect, creating spatial highlights against the overall neutral backdrop. Minimalist yet sensuous, the design also addresses the homeowners’ storage needs and aesthetic tastes without feeling too confined. For one of the brothers who is passionate about cooking, additional storage spaces were created t... More

We often encounter mobile walls in office spaces, where they usually divide one large meeting room into two smaller ones. It is no exception to use in conference rooms of hotels and others. However, their functionality can be used in other operations as well. For example in film studios.   In the Czech Republic, the historically significant Zlín Film Studios, where fantasy movies by Karel Zeman were made in the 1950s and 1960s (director of the films "The Deadly Invention" and "Baron Munchausen") underwent a significant reconstruction. This created a multifunctional studio with an area of more than 300 m2. For maximum use and flexibility of space, black mobile walls serve. These ensure not only optical, but also perfect acousti...

Phat Soles, 2017 The space looks more like a theater stage than an ordinary sneaker store. Intense scenic details give a mysterious feeling in an environment where the special, colorful designs of the sneakers star. Theatrical lighting and strategically placed mirrors were key elements of the design, with the result that the images were constantly changing. Cash registers, rehearsal rooms, secret rooms with limited sneakers designs are changing, revealing new spaces behind the strict metal grid, which functions as the stage of a show. Specially designed columns of black sandblasted fir wood are placed in the heart of the store, allowing the sneakers to change position depending on the mood and the different events. At the same time, the... More
