Studio acht
We are an architecture studio with Dutch roots, founded in 1973 in Rotterdam, with headquarters now located in Prague and several offices within the Czech Republic and Europe.

We combine Dutch temperance and sense for urbanism with Central European poetism, a feeling for the landscape and experience with historical monuments. We love the challenge of converting neglected brownfields into vibrant new urban districts. We take it as our mission to breathe new life into historical monuments; we sensitively restore not only their facades, but also their contents. All our projects take into account the ravages of time and the development of the market and are designed with regard to changes enabling development. We enjoy architecture that humbly approaches its surroundings in its scale and yet stands out. We value timelessness more than trends.

Studio acht has been operating in the Czech Republic since 1993 under the leadership of Václav Hlaváček and is the third generation successor to the Dutch studio founded in Rotterdam in 1973. Václav Hlaváček graduated from the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Czech Technical University in Prague - in the studio of Vladimír Dlasek, he graduated in the field of building reconstruction. He worked at the State Institute for the Reconstruction of Historic Cities and Buildings under the direction of architect Pavel Kupka. Today, under his leadership alone the studio has more than 80 members. In the Czech Republic, offices are open in Prague, Brno, Olomouc and Trinec. Other colleagues are located in Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Curaçao (part of the Netherlands Antilles).
