Just like human body, the way we position ourselves in relation to our surroundings is defined by our orientation. It’s not the same to be in front of something, than staring from a rotated angle. Ultimately, It’s Geometry what defines orientation. As seen like this, it becomes clear that geometry guides the articulation of spaces.

The principle of natural authenticity permeates the interior, evident in its primary materials: wood, metal, and stone. Dark wood shapes the central wave-like bar counter, as well as shelves, tables, chairs, and benches. These elements, custommade to order, resonate with each other through form and color, blending seamlessly with French classics and 1970s vintage

The fire station in Dolní Jirčany is a place where tradition meets modern design and functionality. It is designed to resemble the typology of rural barns with its shape and volume.
