Architectural trends in the Czech Republic and Slovakia continue to emphasize ecological sustainability, natural materials, and the adaptive reuse of existing structures. ~~Previous~~ Recent developments ~~highlighted~~ highlight a preference for minimalist aesthetics using wood, stone, and glass, alongside projects that repurpose reclaimed materials to blend history with modern utility. ~~Recent projects in Prague demonstrate a continued focus on~~ In Prague, urban renovation ~~and preserving architectural heritage.~~ remains a priority. Architect Matěj Šebek completed the ‘Harfa’ project in the Vysočany district, a €1 million renovation of a century-old apartment building. The project added four new small apartments, including two maisonettes, to the roofline using recessed facades and large dormer windows designed to remain largely invisible from the street. The renovation also modernized the courtyard, stairwell, and common areas, including the integration of a new elevator. In the Příbram region, Facha architekti focused on rural space optimization by designing a 26 m² extension for a former small barn. This addition utilizes a wooden structure protected by red corrugated metal and a pine plywood interior to provide expanded living space and storage for a family. Urban residential design in the Czech Republic also shows a trend toward maximizing light and flexibility. Architect Markéta Bromová developed a 77 m² apartment featuring glass folding doors to allow for flexible space usage between the kitchen, living area, and children’s room, utilizing large-format oak parquet to create a calm atmosphere. In Slovakia, innovation in landscape integration is evident in a modular home designed by architect Martin Mikovčak. Built into a hillside, the structure features a glass facade and a roof designed to allow meadow grass to grow over it. The interior emphasizes high adaptability through multifunctional ~~furniture that serves as stairs, seating, and kitchen elements. The site’s natural features were also incorporated, as~~ furniture, while a discovered natural spring now feeds a pond adjacent to the home’s terrace.
