Practice Ideology
The Prokš Přikryl architects studio was founded in 2011 after working together on competitions while studying at the Czech Technical University. The form of their projects is determined by the context, concept, program, and they prefer layering over demolition. They consider competitions an important tool and strive for regular participation. They validate the designs on physical models.
They work on assignments of various scales and content, from smaller objects (office extension in Vysoké Mýto), through family housing (house with a ramp), to larger projects from recent years – Revitalization of the square in Divišov, Conversion of a grain silo in the Winternitz Mills in Pardubice and Visitor facilities by the city reservoir in Jablonec nad Nisou.
The project of the guest facilities for a biotope at Honětice (2013) has won several Czech and foreign awards (Czech Architecture Award 2016 – ERA special prize, BigMat International Architecture Award 2015, National Award for the Czech Republic, Mies van der Rohe Award 2015 – nomination for the Czech Republic), the Office extension in Vysoké Mýto was awarded the Grand Prix in 2021 in the category of new building. The studio received the ARCHITECT+ magazine 2023 award.
