Who We Are

Architecture Interior DESIGN is one of the leading architectural studios in Czech Republic founded by Eva Jiřičná & Petr Vágner in 1999. Since then, our studio has become synonymous with unique architecture that combines creativity with meticulous craftsmanship and an unwavering attention to detail. We work with a diverse range of clients, from leading developers and private investors to governmental institutions and the public sector. Our projects span the full spectrum, including the design of public and private buildings, the renovation of historic sites, and the creation of distinctive interiors, public spaces, bridges, exhibitions, and furniture design.

We view each project as a unique opportunity to create a space that not only meets functional needs but also provides an aesthetic and emotional experience for its users. We believe in the power of light to define space and create a special atmosphere. Our sensitive use of color and materials results in environments where simplicity harmoniously blends with thoughtful color accents. We meticulously attend to every detail to ensure that the outcome appears light, elegant, and sophisticated. We are involved in every stage of the project, from the initial sketch to the final delivery of the completed work, always reflecting high standards of aesthetics and functionality.

Our signature, characterized by a blend of technical refinement and visual clarity, is recognized not only in the Czech Republic but also internationally. Among our iconic projects are Hotel Josef in Prague, acclaimed for its modern elegance, and the New Orangery at Prague Castle. The renovation of St. Anne's Church in Prague, carried out for the VIZE 97 Foundation of Dagmar and Václav Havel, demonstrates how we integrate historic elements into a modern context with deep respect and sensitivity. Other notable projects include the Zlín Congress Center and the Faculty of Humanities at Tomas Bata University in Zlín, which define the region's contemporary architecture.

Our work is regularly featured in prestigious global magazines and books, receiving acclaim for its innovation and meticulous aesthetics. Our studio has become an integral part of the global architectural scene, inspiring both professionals and the wider public.

“Design is about asking how to do something better, how to do it differently, and how to make it meaningful.”

Eva Jiřičná

“Architecture influences us more than we think. It is all around us and shapes our lives.”

Petr Vágner
