Swiss Alpine Cabin Reconstruction
The Swiss Alpine Cabin Reconstruction is situated in the demanding context of Central Switzerland, within the Canton of Schwyz, on a steep slope overlooking the town of Brunnen. Located on the shores of Lake Uri within a protected bird sanctuary and adjacent to the Stockflue climbing cliff, the project represents a sensitive dialogue between the built form and the rugged Alpine landscape. The primary inspiration for the development was the desire to find a balance between iconic natural surroundings, strict local heritage regulations, and the clients' requirement for an open, modern living space that maximizes contact with the exterior. To achieve this, the architectural ambition was for the cabin to appear "ordinary" and naturally integrat... More

Reconstruction of an Old Farmstead
The Reconstruction of an Old Farmstead project reimagines a historic agricultural compound in a village in the Kashubian region of northern Poland, not far from the Baltic Sea. The intervention focuses on the reconstruction and adaptation of two buildings within a traditional rural homestead: a century-old house and its neighbouring barn.
Andrzej Niegrzybowski
Rather than replacing the ageing structures, the project retains the original spatial composition of the farmstead and reinterprets it for contemporary use. The house has been converted into two independent year-round holiday apartments, while the adjacent barn is planned to become a holiday residence in a later development phase. The architectural strategy centres on respecting... More

Homin
The name HOMIN is a play on meanings. It echoes the Ukrainian word “гомін” (homin) — the lively hum of a large family filling the space with life — and the English phrase “Home In,” symbolizing a return to where you belong.
A home begins not with walls, but with a feeling. This project is about a calm rhythm, clean space, and architectural silence. There are no accidental effects here: form follows function and human interaction. It is a manifesto of new minimalism, where aesthetics do not compromise daily comfort.

Interior of Regional Library P.O.H. in Prešov
The building of P. O. Hviezdoslav Regional Library consists of three protected townhouses.
AlexShootsBuildings
The palace-like scale of the main halls, was one of the key realizations in the design process. Rather than filling this impressive volume with shelves, we sought a solution that preserves the spatial experience.
AlexShootsBuildings
The need to avoid barriers to natural light also implies longitudinal arrangement of shelves on all floors. Combined with slender white shelving, this approach ensures an airy, light-filled environment.
AlexShootsBuildings
We propose a gradient densification of the space with shelving, from bottom to top. The ground floor supports diverse user activities, fostering community life... More

Funkhaus Wien
BWM, commissioned by Rhomberg Bau, is redesigning the former radio building, which is a listed landmark. Sites A and B will be opened to the public, transforming into a vibrant, creative hub under the concept of a “stacked Grätzl” or neighbourhood, while site E will house residential spaces. The focus is on preserving or, where needed, restoring the original character in close collaboration with the Federal Monuments Office.
The Funkhaus, located at Argentinierstrasse 30a in Vienna's 4th district, is the oldest radio station building in Austria. It was built between 1935 and 1939, incorporating some older structures, based on the plans by Heinrich Schmid and Hermann Aichinger in collaboration with Clemens Holzmeister, and... More

WING HOUSE
Given the protracted construction history, the site had accumulated a vast array of discarded raw materials. The design team’s first endeavour was to creatively repurpose these materials, ensuring sustainability while infusing the home with character. For instance, reclaimed wooden pieces were skilfully reimagined into bespoke doors and furniture, while hollow metal pipes were cut into circular rims and transformed into an intricate MS screen for the backyard. This ethos of repurposing set the foundation for the residence’s aesthetic and functional evolution. The spatial planning adhered to a

Sázava Monastery – Restoration
This project was dedicated to the historic reconstruction of an essential part of the Sázava monastery complex. It included a total restoration of the rectory building, of the Baroque church of St. Prokop with a crypt, the torso of a Gothic three-nave with a tower and the arrangement of the surrounding terrain.
Tomáš Slavík
The architectural modifications were led by an effort to make the church more accessible to both believers and those interested in the history and historical values of the church. These are both the main and side naves, and especially the crypt, and last but not least, the southern and northern emporiums.

Flat 2 Prague
The aim was to make functional use of a small apartment on the top floor of a 1930s apartment building in the centre of Prague. Only the perimeter walls and the preserved parquet floor remain of the sunny studio apartment owned by the architect. The original bathroom and all internal partitions, including the skylight, have been demolished. The dysfunctional entrance to the apartment was solved by moving the door opening and changing the opening of the original door. The main idea was to open up the apartment as much as possible and make it one spacious and airy unit. This was achieved mainly by building a glass bathroom along its entire length.

Café Výklad
Café Výklad, is located in Banská Bystrica, on the ground floor of a house that has been rebuilt several times in the past. The very last renovation filled the main volume with a plasterboard set piece, which significantly affected the overall space concept. Thus, the main intention was to bring the original proportions back and so the archetypal qualities of the house are highlighted and complemented by new details and elements.

YIT Offices
YIT offices are situated in the building of the former Hungarian thread factory. When designing the office premises we took into consideration the preservation of the atmosphere of the original production hall to the maximum extent possible, but also taking into account the acoustic well-being of the employees.

EXPLANATIONS
Buildings live and die differently than humans. Both are born seemingly alike. At the stage of conception, concepts interact with each other, akin to DNA, encompassing various structures-functional typologies, construction techniques, spirits of place and time, all combined with the burden of political and artistic history, the personal preferences of the client, and, of course, the creative will and individual style of the architect. The concept exists solely in the realm of the ideal; its materialization is a series of experiments, conflicts, and compromises with the physical world. The birth of a building is a dialectical synthesis of matter and idea.

VILLA TRIANGLE
The house is situated in a quiet neighbourhood of Brno-Žabovřesky (Tichého Street). The original building used to have two floors, a cellar and a non-residential attic. However, the new owners did not like this layout, so the whole house was modernised and the layout changed considerably. The newly implemented solution is custom-made and includes a number of atypical details and construction principles.
The two main recurring themes in the whole project are: the motif of a triangle and bamboo/larch features defining the new parts of the house. While great emphasis was put on non-traditional layout, the house was also designed to meet practical requirements of a modern family of five. Some major changes were made on the ground floor:...

The M House Großdorf
The original house on this site was built in the style typical of its Bregenzerwald setting, but was partly destroyed in a fire. Reconstruction of the interwoven log structure was carried out by recycling components from other demolished buildings. Misguided alterations in the 1970s had a detrimental effect of the house’s hard-won character. The clients – a musician and an artist – share an awareness of their role as custodians of a high quality, historic architectural artefact and, by preserving the building in its essence, are eager to counteract the gradual obsolescence of the Bregenzerwald House typology.
