Practice Ideology
Architects Pavel Horák and Václav Zahradníček founded Prodesi Studio, which specialises exclusively in wooden buildings, in 2002. Because they like to follow through with what they start, three years later they founded the company Domesi, which implements their projects. Together, the two companies assist their clients with every single step of their project, from securing a building permit to handing over the keys to their new house. So far, they have over two hundred completed timber constructions under their belt, not only family houses according to individual designs but also turnkey wooden buildings and modern public buildings. Prodesi/Domesi projects and implementations are positively received by both professionals and the general public.
They have already won several domestic and foreign awards (for instance, 5x Big See Awards in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Wooden Building of the Year 2020 in the category of Modern Buildings for the implementation of a kindergarten in Všetaty, or inclusion among the finalists of the Architizer A+Awards 2022). The architects regularly give lectures about wooden constructions at universities, technical schools, and trade fairs, publish articles on new developments in the field, and organise the annual event Salon dřevostaveb, a unique showcase of modern wooden architecture that presents the best wooden constructions created in the past year.
