Practice Ideology
The Brno-based studio ČTYŘSTĚN is jointly led by architects Karel Kubza, Milan Joja, and Tomáš Págo. They specialize in residential and public buildings with a significant social emphasis, such as the award-winning Social Apartments in Bílovice nad Svitavou or the children’s hospice House for Julia in Brno. They view architecture as a significant social discipline that can have a long-term impact not only on the residents of the designed buildings but also on their surroundings. In their projects, they seek strong connections with the place where the building stands and address contexts that transcend the boundaries of the plot and the assignment. They aim to design meaningful, timeless, and socially responsible structures that will serve well and then can be easily renovated or replaced.
