Renovation of the Ground Floor Space of the Legendary Pub "U Zelené žáby" in Brno.

The main idea was to create an unusually designed modern environment that would serve as the company's headquarters and a place for meetings with clients. The construction work and bringing the project to the smallest details took almost two years. The original space, which was no longer suitable for its purpose as a pub, was reduced to an area of 40 m2 and integrated with everything necessary for the daily operation of the studio: social facilities, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a representative room. The most challenging task was to develop a design so that the penetrations, inspection doors, electrical panel, and integrated automation, including complete security with remote access (sensors, alarm, control units, voice control), were always physically accessible yet hidden.

The space features custom-made dark green paneling crafted from ash wood and the unique design of a half-ton concrete counter, fitted with semi-finished glass tubes used to make Jakobsen Design™ glasses. The exhibition focuses on the conscious use of durable, sustainable, and high-quality materials. Art collectors, admirers of beauty, and demanding clientele will find something to appreciate.

Studio of 40 m2, ceiling height of 3.2 m, oriented to the NW and SW.
