hatlehol church

The project of Hatlehol Church is reflecting on the current state of the site and its surroundings. Firstly, it creates a metaphorical Path of Life between the children’s chapel and the existing cemetery. The main volume of the church lies on this path that divides it into a sacred and a mundane part while keeping their unity to represent the current function and status of a protestant church. The main building also breaks the one-dimensional path between birth and death and creates a focal point of a religious life.

sarecka houses

The situation of the site and its attractive views were the core stones for the project of detached houses on Sarecka street, Prague.

Three family houses react with their volume to the adjoining greenery on one side and current development on the other to create a clean bridge between them.

With their gradually sloping top floors they grow into the current housing and offer the best views of Prague.

The family house is functionally divided into four zones in its three storeys. The partially underground floor consists of common areas that will function as a meeting place for the family and ensure connection to the yard. The facility zone for the building services and yard equipment is also located on this floor.

The ground floor with access from the street functions as a relaxation and working zone and the top floor consists of private rooms with access to a balcony.

bathroom trio

Bathroom Trio is a relaxation bathroom competition proposal focused on the development of function and design of affordable medium-sized bathrooms in the upcoming years. The competition was held by a large Czech bathroom furniture producer and the design is therefore aimed to correlate with the company‘s portfolio of modern low-cost furniture.

Continuing the phenomenon of increasing of intimacy, this relaxation bathroom for a medium-sized apartment is divided into three independent zones. The color neutrality of the room ensures individuality for users by mere change of the color-expressive furniture and accessories.

Acoustics is an ever-present concern in architecture and is therefore a crucial aspect of space design that needs to be studied closely. This experimental project is focused on the issue of night life establishments being divided into two different concepts based on the loudness of the music for either talking on dancing.

However, there should be a place where a larger group can go while still having the possibility of choosing between talking and dancing to loud music. Therefore, this conceptual room was divided into two height levels and the possibility of having different loudness values in different heights was examined.
