The interior reconstruction involved adjusting the existing layout according to the new needs and requirements of the investor. The layout was made clearer, the overall comfort of use, technical equipment and functionality were improved – all while taking into account the existing qualities of the building.

The new ČTK Press Centre is located in the centre of Prague, in the functionalist building of the Czech Press Office on Opletalova Street, where the agency has been based since 1930. A public passage is embedded in the ground floor of the building, from which a glass portal leads to the staircase with an elevator. On the second floor, the cloakroom area is connected to the main staircase, and a level staircase leads to the Press Centre itself on the mezzanine of the building.

The focus of the designed spaces is the multifunctional hall, the lobby and the entrance areas. The dividing partition in the main hall was removed, the original wooden wall cladding and the period steel-stone portals of the radiators were renovated. These were complemented by new surfaces, a dividing screen and a spatially shaped acoustic ceiling.

In the lobby, the layout of the unsatisfactory restrooms was changed, the dark wooden cladding was removed, and a new bar was designed. As a bonus, a terrace with outdoor seating was created in the adjoining courtyard, which will be made cozier by climbing greenery in the future. The entire space was made clearer and brighter.

The main idea connecting all the spaces is the use of large-format wallpapers with carefully selected photographs directly from the ČTK archive. The additional gold and black color scheme refers to the original materials of the functionalist building. Textiles in the form of curtains soften the overall impression, and openwork steel in gold highlights the bar counter and the front wall in the main entrance area.
