Hager visiting the architect

What are you currently working on?
At the moment, we have a quite diverse mix. From small projects to larger ones, from concepts to realizations. We are completing the construction of the Jára Cimrman Elementary School in Prague Lysolaje, designing a recreational park in Tehov, continuing with the fourth phase of the interior work for offices on Wenceslas Square, planning the conversion of a former boiler house in Staňkov, and developing several specific family houses in different parts of the country.


What role do you think a switch plays in interior design?
We perceive it as an essential functional accessory. Within the entire interior, it is a detail. However, as is known, details make up the whole, and their perception can influence it in both positive and negative ways.


Do you have a favorite among household switches?
Each project has its specifics and demands something different. Generally, we can say that we prefer simple, clean, and often unobtrusive design. In cases where there is a reason, we enjoy working with materials - ceramics, wood, concrete...
Since this is an element of everyday use, it can be particularly pleasing in terms of haptic quality - the material used, precise operation, and meticulous processing.
