Pub Zaječov is located in the municipality of Zaječov, Beroun district, near Prague. The name Zaječov means rabbit city and it is in the emblem of the town as well.
After careful consideration and analysis of various factors, including the unique characteristics and identity of the location, it became evident that integrating the rabbit motif aligns seamlessly with design objectives. As the name of the town itself evokes imagery associated with rabbits, it presented an opportunity for us to craft a design narrative that not only resonates with the local community but also offers a distinct and memorable experience for visitors.
The village of Zaječov lacked a public space that people would perceive as the natural centre of the village. Therefore, the aim was to create a building that would help to define the disturbed context of the site m and would relate to the historical roots and local character of the simple and purposeful local architecture
The building alterations included exterior and interior modifications, the addition of exterior staircases, ramps and paved surfaces, demolition of the existing heating facility and the construction of a warehouse and technical facilities.
Despite the simple and modern look of the interior, we wanted to achieve a classic and cosy atmosphere of a village pub. We therefore built on the traditional customs of classic village pubs and chose commonly used furnishing elements such as wall tiles, edging of building openings, wall hangers, parquet flooring folded into a tree and simple table and chair designs. When designing the atypically designed furnishings, we took inspiration from the creation of rustic furniture and used identical historical construction techniques using wedge joints.
The colour scheme of the interior is based on a natural light oak wood shade, white paintwork with complementary hunter green paint applied to the lights and a protective coating to the lower parts of the walls replacing the more costly wood panelling. Daylight is brought in during the day by three large frameless windows, into
