Residential buildings are the cornerstone of the urban fabric. In our proposals, we focus on ensuring that they are not just technical objects for living, but that they become a full and vibrant part of the city. We believe that quality residential architecture can enhance the quality of everyday life, foster neighbourly relationships and contribute to the long-term sustainability of cities.
We design residential buildings with an emphasis on context – responding to the surrounding development, the character of the area and the needs of its inhabitants. We see each project as an opportunity to engage with the wider urban whole and enrich it with a new layer of life, public space and relationships. Our residential designs do not seek to be exceptional at any cost – instead we build on timeless architecture, thoughtful proportions and detail that blends naturally into the environment.
Efficient layouts are the basis of any design. We pay maximum attention to the logical arrangement of the apartments, the optimal use of floor space and orientation to the cardinal points. We consider plenty of natural light, quality ventilation, views of greenery or the city and quiet zones in the interior to be an obvious part of healthy and comfortable living.
In addition to the individual space of residents, community and shared spaces play an important role in our designs. We believe that residences should offer places for gathering, informal conversation or just quiet cohabitation – whether it’s a shared garden, roof terrace, clubhouse or community laundry. These spaces strengthen neighbourhood ties and contribute to the creation of an active and stable community.
Social sustainability is as important to us as environmental sustainability. We create designs that are accessible to different social and age groups – from young families to singles to the elderly. We combine different sizes of apartments, design wheelchair accessible entrances and strive for an environment where intergenerational coexistence can occur naturally, without pressure.
In the area of sustainability, we work with proven principles: quality materials with a long service life, energy efficiency, thoughtful design and the possibility of future modifications and adaptations. From building orientation to grey water, green roofs and photovoltaics, we support solutions that help reduce operating costs while reducing the environmental footprint.
Long-term livability is also important to us – that is, that people are able to form a relationship with their apartment, to stay in it even in moments of change, and to see it as a home that can evolve with them. In our view, architecture must not be a static image, but an environment that allows life to take its various forms.
We see residential buildings as both a responsibility and an opportunity
A responsibility to the city, to nature and to future generations – and an opportunity to create an environment that makes sense not only today, but also in ten or twenty years. So in every design, we strive to strike a balance between aesthetics, functionality, accessibility and lasting value.
One of our specific residential projects is Kašparova Residence in Olomoucwhich is a new residential area based on the principles of contextual architecture. It is located on the border between quiet residential development and the city’s amenities, offering an ideal combination of privacy and accessibility to services. A total of 13 villas are arranged along a new central road and offer layouts ranging from 1.5 bedroom to a penthouse of 5 bedroom.
Our other interesting projects include, for example, the Bory Byvanie residential complex with nearly 400 apartments, or Rezidence Chalupkova, where our design with hybrid urban development brings metropolitan life to the centre of Bratislava.
