A R T is pleased to announce representation of CHYBIK + KRISTOF, founded in 2010 by Ondřej Chybík and Michal Krištof. In 2019, the duo will announce a series of new projects, which include urban infills, atypical modular architecture and a sizable winery in southern Czech Republic.
CHYBIK + KRISTOF is an architecture and urban design studio whose expertise lies in the fields of private and public space. The architecture firm has offices in Prague, Brno and Bratislava and operates with 50 + multidisciplinary international team members.
The firms past projects are closely aligned with sustainability and are heavily influenced by the architectural legacy of the Czech Republic. Founder Ondřej Chybík states, “we investigate the connection of buildings and their surroundings. Within the past century, the Czech region has seen three architectural movements: classical style urbanism, modern architecture of the 30s and the socialist-realism period. Each movement has influenced the local environment and the existing city structure, where we continue to draw our inspiration from.”
The studio continues to cultivate new and experimental projects, skillfully balancing conceptual thinking and complex design. Michal Krištof defines the studios approach as,“an expression of trends and movements within a society, reflecting on crucial moments in history while drawing influence for the future.”
