Czech Restoration Projects Revive Historic Buildings

Architects Plus One Architects completed a careful renovation of a two‑century‑old chalet in the Vysočina region, preserving its original stone walls while adding modern comforts such as air‑conditioning and radiators. The redesign created a quiet, private upper floor with a blend of dark tones, natural wood and targeted lighting to support relaxation.

In Opava, restaurateurs are restoring the glass dome of the early‑Republican Breda department store. The project aims to preserve the historic façade while updating the interior for contemporary use, reflecting a broader effort to maintain Czech architectural heritage.

Both projects illustrate a growing focus on adaptive reuse of historic structures in the Czech Republic, balancing preservation with modern functionality.
