Our passion for architecture doesn't only come from our desire to create something new and visionary, but rather from deeper understanding the needs of people who will live in our spaces, regardless of it being a family house, public space or a developer project.

As architects our job is to create value. We see buildings and public spaces as a form of art. Our surroundings influence greatly how we feel in a space. Our job is therefore to make people feel good. Our studio was founded in 2015 by arch. Peter Paľko. Since then we had various internal and external cooperators working with us. Everyone is bringing something to the table. The main idea is that a building and a person living in it is one living organism. That's why we approach every project individually and create by discussing with investors.We specialize in comprehensive project activities from architectural design, preparation of execution documentation, to obtaining building permits. We provide support to the investor in selecting contractors and overseeing construction.

Architecture.

Is a composition of masses and shapes, covered with materials, connected by technical details. It represents its generation, but also taking historical context into account. It looks around itself and in its reaction to that creates space where one feels great.

Our style.

Every architect has his own style, but we are always open to new solutions, ideas and discussion. We think out of the box, but at the same time stand on the ground, while not being scared to experiment. What is very important to us is common sense. In the end, we base our decision on our feeling. Although our feeling can be rationally explained. We often incorporate old principles typical in slovak culture and transform them as new. We put our creative process into simple graphic concepts so that everyone can understand.

Types of projects that we do.

Small to large, whether it is a family home or a huge developer project. Residential or commercial. We prefer complex solutions, exterior to interior. We overlook the construction. But first of all we need to be inspired and if we are, we are then open to any project.

Our standpoint.

We want to do architecture sustainably. Every building is going to stand here for tens if not hundreds of years, maybe even longer. We put tremendous amount of energy into what we do and we want it to be done well. Not everyone realizes the that we create the space that will surround and influence us, whether its the owner, the person who lives in it, or a person who just walks by everyday on his way to work. Architectures makes us feel a certain way, even if unconsciously. Another thing that needs to be noted is that architecture is not just the building but also its surroundings, and together they should form a whole.

Designing is searching.

We often get ask, how do the ideas come to you? well, they don't. We just search, We swim in the endless sea of possibility. There is a team of architects working on every project. More heads, more brain. By discussing with client, whether it's in our office or online, we create, and we sketch, and then we scratch and throw away and then do it all again until we find the answer. Every project gets as much time as it needs.

Relationship with our client.

Relationships are important to us, to do our best work we need to sort of click with our client and have mutual trust. The first step is to create an assignment. We talk about our clients ideas about the premises, the operations necessary, also about finances. In the end we find a solution that both sides are happy with.

Where do we work.

Mainly western and central part of Slovakia. But we'd love to venture further.
