JRA   Jaroušek Rochová architekti

The architectural studio JRA Jaroušek Rochová architects was founded in 2002 by Radek Jaroušek and Magdalena Rochová.

We live architecture. We design urban and rural houses, new buildings, and reconstructions. We are interested in contemporary architectural concepts, but we do not shy away from traditional forms. We draw inspiration from the character of the place. We want the new house to resonate with its surroundings and become not only a naturally appealing element but also an enrichment of the given locality.

Every project is a challenge. We create buildings tailored to our clients. We strive to ensure that they reflect their personality, uniqueness, and lifestyle. Designs emerge through mutual dialogue and understanding. The result is therefore an irreplaceable original.

The harmony of the interior and exterior is essential for us. We emphasize a precise and logical arrangement of internal spaces, subordinated to the comfortable operation of the house. We focus on the shaping of details, often original, which ultimately enhance both the functional and artistic quality of the whole. The garden is always part of the architectural concept.

In the creation of a house, we apply a comprehensive approach. This means that as authorized architects, we address all stages of project documentation: from studies, through projects for zoning decisions and building permits, execution documentation, to author supervision during implementation. It is essential for us to achieve the ideal.

From the review by Petr Volf evaluating the reconstruction of the Košťál house at Baba (Petr Volf, Touch of Perfection, supplement Ego of Hospodářské noviny, May 31, 2019, pp. 18-20)

"Everything is in harmony. In its place. Nothing needs to be changed, invented, or repaired. Uncompromising quality: in execution, materials, and furnishings. I can't think of an alternative to how anything could be done differently from what I just saw. There is a piece of empathy combined with knowledge in it. And I sense a dose of humility and a striving to grasp the essence of architecture. Not every architect can do this, but those who are capable of similar thinking leave behind houses that withstand the whims of time. Magdalena Rochová and Radek Jaroušek deliver such performances repeatedly."
