Studio Acht is an architectural firm with dutch roots, founded in 1973 in Rotterdam, with headquarters now located in Prague operates under the direction of Václav Hlaváček, third generation of the firm, and several offices in the Czech Republic and Europe.
Studio Acht combines Dutch temperance and a sense of urbanism with Central European poeticism, a feeling for the landscape and experience with historical monuments. They make it their mission to breathe new life into historic monuments; they sensitively restore not only their facades, but also their contents. All their projects take into account the ravages of time and market development and are designed with changes that allow for development. We enjoy architecture that humbly approaches its surroundings in its scale and yet stands out. They value timelessness more than trends.
Václav Hlaváček graduated from the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Technical University of the Czech Technical University in Prague, in the studio of Vladimír Dlasek, he graduated in the field of building reconstruction. He worked at the State Institute for the Reconstruction of Historical Cities and Buildings under the direction of architect Pavel Kupka. Today, under his leadership alone, the studio has more than 70 members.
