Renovation

Villa in Beroun

Preserved villa, wooden coffered ceilings, terrazzo, and black-and-white mosaic. Paired with plenty of natural light, garden views, and simple furniture. The home comes to life through the combination of original elements like tiled stoves and geometric stained glass with modern materials and thoughtful updates.

#BATHROOM as a Place of Relaxation

The bathroom is a place where you should feel good. It's a place where you relax, whether in the morning or in the evening, in the bathtub or in the shower. Everyone has different preferences. Some people like to lounge in the bathtub, while others prefer a long shower. Everything should have its own space.

Is air conditioning the only solution? There are other ways.

Every year it's the same. Summer arrives, it's hot, and when we're at home, we want to feel cool. And lo and behold, air conditioning isn't the only solution. Although... In reality, it's a bit more complicated, so let's take a closer look.

Glassmaker's Night at Brokis.

Glassmaker's Night at Brokis.

A presentation like this was a shining example that there's always a way. The powerful story of a strong family business simply gets under your skin much more than a long monologue in front of a booth at a trade show.

Journey to Italy

Journey to Italy

Before the borders closed and we lost the opportunity to travel for a few months, we embarked on an exploratory trip to Northern Italy. The wonderful opportunity to experience local production and visit several factories excited us so much that we dedicated an entire episode of our podcast to this trip.

House renovation

Renovation

House renovation

At the outset, it's essential to consider whether a house renovation is more advantageous or if it's better to demolish and build a new one. In this case, it's not just about the financial aspect, but also the process with local authorities. That is, which option will be faster and more straightforward to implement.

Renovation

Apartment renovation

A topic we encounter most frequently. Renovation is a discipline that is both interesting and tricky at the same time. We never know in advance what will await us. Therefore, it's always good to plan for the worst-case scenario.

Interior accessories

Interior accessories

Now comes the time when you need to put the final touch on the entire interior, and you just don't have the energy for it. You don't feel like going to stores, either alone or with an architect, to pick out something as seemingly trivial as throw pillows for the living room sofa. You may think it's unnecessary, but it's not: accessories and decorations are precisely what turn a new space into your home.

Collaboration with the engineering specialists

Collaboration with the engineering specialists

In previous articles, we have described the phase of architectural studies, implementation documentation, and also negotiations with authorities.

Construction documentation (part two)

Construction documentation (part two)

In this article, we discuss how construction documentation is specifically prepared. After the architectural study and deciding on the extent of interventions into the apartment or house (as we wrote here), we proceed with the construction documentation, such as for the bathroom.

Architectural study

Architectural study

An architectural study is the first step in our collaboration. It's an essential phase that can't be skipped, but it's also not the endpoint. You can't directly build based on an architectural study. It's followed by further detailed planning stages, cost estimates, material selection, and only then, the actual realization.
