Sustainable and environmentally-sound building techniques have been pushed to the limits by Czech architecture studio Atelier Hoffman in this build near Prague.
The three-storey building dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and has previously been used as warehouse space. The architects have added steel volumes that extend out of the properties' perimeters, an outer stair case and entrance pavilion wrap around the corners, providing access both upstairs and downstairs. Kitchens, bathrooms and storage facilities are contained within large wooden boxes.
Patrik Hoffman writes: "Renovation works were carried out between June 2010 and December 2011 following a plan and project by the architectonical studio Patrik Hoffman. In a join effort, the building of the old Coal Mine was transformed into an inspiring working environment and will continue to be used as a polyfunctional facility in which architecture, design, art, manufacture and warehousing meet each other."
