The most challenging issue regarding this project was the small and restrictive area to be built. Therefore, this office including work space for 7 architects and technicians, complementary facilities and exhibition space had to fit an urban plot measuring 14x16 meters, surrounded by 6 meter tall walls on each side. Moreover, a 6x6 meters interior courtyard was required in that certain position.
Being a tribute to Adolf Loos, the whole desing follows the definition of “Raumplan” and obeys the architect’s vision of his work: "My architecture is not conceived in plans, but in spaces -cubes [...] For me, there is no ground floor, first floor etc. [...] Storeys merge and spaces relate to each other.” (Adolf Loos, Shorthand record of a conversation in Plzeň (Pilsen), 1930)
