About us
We are an architectural studio based in Liberec. Authorized architect Pavel Šťastný founded the studio in 2010. We design houses, and residential and commercial interiors, design.

We provide a service for the client, from the concept design, through the necessary official permits to successful implementation. We are professionally insured.
