Art Studios of the Faculty of Education | dílna

The new art studio extension for the Faculty of Education at Masaryk University in Brno, designed by dílna, offers versatile spaces for both traditional art and new media, including workshops, a well-lit painting studio, and a multimedia studio that can function as a black/white box. The minimalist white building contrasts with the historic surroundings, adding dynamic energy to the site and engaging in a compelling dialogue between the neoclassical architecture of the surrounding buildings and its own generous, orthogonal shapes. Horizontal shifts in the floors ensure daylight penetrates the deep layouts through skylights while respecting the sun exposure of neighboring buildings. The result is a structure that transcends typical educational architecture, embracing the spatial aesthetics of a gallery.

Family House Dolní Malá Úpa | mar.s architects

Nestled in the mountain village of Dolní Malá Úpa, .s_architects designed a residence that embraces the spirit of historical Krkonoše Mountain architecture and lifestyle. Positioned on a sloping meadow, the house mirrors the traditional mountain house form, clad in untreated wood that evolves its expression over time. Breaking out from the simplistic form of the house, a prominent steel terrace hovers over the terrain, supported by a pair of splayed legs – a commanding bridge amid a foggy mountain. The interior, adorned with wood and subtle hues, offers a dignified retreat from the mountain storms.

LIVESPORT – Office as Digital Playground | Studio Reaktor

has recently completed its third livesportcz Offices project, aiming to create a dynamic digital playground for employees to regularly enhance their skills and practice team tactics. The design is inspired by a gym, abstracted into architectural design elements that permeate and unify the space. The office "training" zones are defined by lines depicted on the floor, while wooden and metal boxes abstract workout equipment, separating spaces and housing different functions. The tactics, analyzed by an electronic pen in sports, are transcribed into a wavy linear lighting system. This system serves as a navigation tool and highlights significant areas in the space.

The transformation emphasizes spaciousness by unifying communal areas while preserving smaller, purposeful spaces for the children. A large blue Narnia-inspired wardrobe, a filter between the communal and children’s space, acts as a gateway from reality into another, magical world, enriching one’s imaginative experiences.
