In the southern part of Malé Kyšice town on the edge of the Křivoklát woods, there is a residential district originally home to weekend cottages. One such cottage on a flat plot of land was replaced by a passive home. The floor plan closely resembles a quarter-circle with walls made of exposed concrete blocks. The rounded wall and the ceilings are...

A custom home is a demanding prospect simply because not only does it cost quite a bit more than your regular suburban house, it often has unique, specialty components that need to be built from scratch. A custom home is an architectural statement of someone’s creativity and preferences and it is a real passion project in most cases.

The rehabilitation of this villa calls for various dimensions of dreams, both in the enjoyment of the interior and in the contemplation of the panoramic horizon. The contemporary language and materials, especially the volumes of white lacquered plates and large glass spans, clearly marked the enlargement, differentiated from the original house.

Concept: The deep dark green colour has become dominant in the space, even enveloping. That creates a sense of intimacy and depth, as if visitors are inside a wine bottle. The interiors of the restaurant and bar have the same style, but still differ in details. For example, for the dynamic mood the floor covering in the bar is made more colourful.

Delicately crafted by combining two adjoining apartment units in an archaic building in the plush neighbourhood of Malabar Hill, Mumbai, Midori finely walks the line between subtlety and opulence. Sinuous curves flow into each other to give way to a contemporary gatsby-esque space that functions as a home for a family of three on weekdays, and part...

When thinking about contemporary design, the first thing that comes to mind is the sleek, almost minimalist interior design of certain homes, often crowned by statement pieces of art or lighting fixtures.

For this project client contacted us during a house purchase. It was preowned building constructed not long time ago. But the interior was very basic and didn’t suite the family needs. New owners wanted to create a place where they could display art pieces owned in their collection. Also, a cosy space with natural materials.
