In the shadow of the Brdy hills, a dense fog veils the landscape in mystery. The morning rays of the sun, piercing through it on their way to a new day, gradually unveil the contours of spruce trees. And where there once stood a carpentry workshop and an old school, now emerges the silhouette of a new house.

It’s the kind of house you remember long after you leave. Weathered limestone walls glow in the golden coastal light. A curved colonnade loops gently around a central courtyard, framing vistas of sandstone, water and sky. This is not a new build pretending to be old-nor a relic stuck in time-but a timeless retreat that embraces its past while livin...

The building we encountered at the beginning of the work was nothing more than a mess. a lifeless and dirty body that had been in a coma for years. It was once a home and today it is homeless. A threat in Iranshahr avenue that could have had a better fate. It could not support its own weight and was about to break down. with all of these, it had a...

On the edge of the cemetery in Vimperk stood a house – picturesque, yet neglected for many years. Its original function fluctuated between the cemetery caretaker’s apartment and a modest funeral hall used for final farewells throughout the 20th century. Over time, this place of reverence turned into a utility facility.
