CONSEQUENCE FORMA

Sports Hall, Nový Hrozenkov

With this project, the architects from Consequence Forma sought to bring contemporary architecture to Nový Hrozenkov that would fit in while also offering something fresh and innovative. The new sports hall is used for public events and as a gym by the local primary school. Much of the interior is clad in wooden slats that add a sense of atmosphere and ensure acoustic comfort. The building’s design was also influenced by the indoor climbing wall, which rises above the ceiling level to form a dominant skylight.

This bright apartment in a new building features large terraces and a view of Prague. It is a place for cooking, eating, working, playing, watching television, reading and creating, sleeping and dressing. The vision for the interior renovation presented to No Architects was detailed – and fulfilled to the last detail. The result is a sensitively balanced, colorfully playful, and highly practical space with technologically sophisticated furniture tailor-made for both the home and its inhabitants.

The set of mycelium-blown glassware was created by studio Llev (Eva Mochalová, Marcel Mochal) in collaboration with the Lasvit brand. The design of the Symboll series is a work of nature and human skill, made using the growth processes of mycelium on beechwood sawdust left over from furniture production. The drinking set is truly one-of-a-kind, made through the technological innovation of using mycelium in the glassmaking process. The mycelium growth patterns make each piece an inimitable original.

Designer Jakub Pollág, who produces his work under the zeitgeist.limited label, presents his interpretation of the classic chair. His Bolt Chair is made of solid ash wood and is designed to adapt to individual preferences. The details that mechanically connect the chair’s four parts are also a distinctive design element betraying the product’s construction. In his work, Jakub avoids current trends and focuses on the rawness of the material and the character of the product. The result is detailed work that stands out for its diversity of materials and production quality.

IGI Vratislavice

The decaying building in the center of Vratislavice, which in the past served as an orphanage, preschool, and parish house, was not only renovated but was also given a modern annex. It is now used by a library, civic associations, a center for mothers with small children, and a social advisory center. After eradicating many layers of insensitive changes that the building had been subjected to over its hundred-year existence, Studio Atakaarchitekti reintroduced historical elements and details.

In Opatová on the outskirts of the western Slovak town of Trenčín, the architects from Prague’s RDTH studio achieved a symbiosis between a historical mill and a modern building. Each building has its own particular character and purpose, which the architects took into account in their aesthetic approach. Although all the structures have roofs made of clay tiles, they otherwise differ in form. The texture of the mill’s lime mortar façade reveals how the local master mason applied the mortar from his pan, while the family home and the outbuilding are clad in larch. The result is a harmonious coexistence of old and new without this combination blurring into one indistinguishable mass.

drawers all the way to shelves. Their characteristic features include soft carpentry details, the use of unusual woods, and a synthesis of traditional with progressive craft techniques. The Anne’s Altar collector’s cabinet reflects its creator’s childhood memory of his mother’s cabinet, which inspired him to design a furniture-like monument. At its heart is a drawer unit consisting of fifteen drawers upholstered in velvet.

The original beauty concierge concept by the Byssine brand now has its own brick-and-mortar boutique in Prague’s Karlín neighborhood. The store design is by artist and film set decorator Nora Sopková, who invited architects Martin Petřík and Tomáš Kotrč and numerous other experienced artists and artisans to help her out. The central focus of the main room is a massive wooden table that was originally used during wedding ceremonies. Behind it is a blue-andgold cabinet with folding doors, created specifically for this space.

Cheers Sofa

In their studio in Prague’s Letná neighborhood, designers Janský and Dunděra create furniture under the MCDJ label. The Cheers sofa from the Kler brand’s Attitude collection creates a cozy and safe corner in a small room but can also be used in more spacious public interiors as part of a set consisting of several models. It is founded on the use of durable upholstery, quality foam, and solid construction, and is designed to appear comfortable.

Glass Country Cottage, Jizera

After a hundred years, the cottage standing on a meadow in the Jizera Mountains was given a fresh and new interior. At the center of the building’s layout are a furnace and stove. The light and transparent construction involving the use of glass panels delineates the large, slightly sunken living area in which a modern kitchen is combined with plenty of open space. The unusual arrangement fascinates the visitor with its many moods and atmosphere. The shiny brass-clad ceiling reflects all changes in the outdoor atmosphere.

Kocanda Kravsko design

The conversion of a former ceramics factory into a unique destination for experience-based tourism and social events has completed its second phase. The entire former industrial area consists of buildings from various eras and with various functions. For this reason, the architects approached each building differently, with the main goal of removing noticeably disruptive interventions and creating a harmonious whole while avoiding the semblance of excessive newness. The interior is deliberately spartan but nevertheless inviting. Kocanda Kravsko is again a bit larger and more entertaining.

Lost in Between Mirror

For Austria’s Schloss Hollenegg,Podracký has created a unique mirror. It was made from broken pieces from the castle’s inventory that he placed into a new context instead of making them whole again – which would have denied them the individuality they gained from being broken. The mirror’s plant motif comes from the fragments’ symbolism relating to the heraldic motifs of the rose, acanthus leaf, and raspberry. The broken fragments have thus again become a part of the castle’s treasures.
