New buildings and renovations by Archina Design

The architectural and interior design company ARCHINA Ltd. has been established in 1992 and its main area of the activities is to serve the clients the complete designs for all type of the buildings and interiors, especially for hospitality, office, commercial and residential buildings.

We have entered the fourth decade of our company’s business activities and the fifth decade of my professional career as an architect with two new project designs in the field of housing and a combination of a hotel and serviced apartments.

„I am highly pleased that our studio is working on designs which restore the use of historical buildings and complete them with sensitively placed extensions into harmonious units.“ (I. Nahálka)

Successfully realized projects

The first of them is the renovation and extension of a historical building situated in Prague 1 into a 4-star hotel and serviced apartments Allure Hotel and Residence. The design has already won two major international awards, namely the first place in the German Design Awards 2024 in the Excellent Architecture category, and also the first place in the International Property Awards 2024. The building contains altogether 78 hotel rooms and apartments with complete facilities and a common reception.

The other of our implemented project designs is the renovation and change in the use of the historical building of the former hotel Vítkov situated in Prague 3. According to our design, an apartment building Youstone with total of 105 accommodation units built here. 

Another new project, which is currently approaching its completion, is the renovation and extensions of two historical buildings in Prague 2, originally used as a policlinic, which will be used as a rental housing concept for the CITY POP – Artisa Group. The building will include more than 100 residential units with complete facilities, a café and parking spaces.

Hotels

As far as the upcoming project designs of large urban developments and urban systems are concerned, we have obtained a building permit for the first stage of the spa resort known as Magnolia Health & Spa resort, which will include spa hotel and wellness hotel. The interconnected buildings will house 150 rooms with spa and relaxation facilities and a conference centre. The project design is situated in the Southern Moravia Region in the district of Novomlýnské reservoirs.

One of the other returns to smaller projects and designs is one of my favourite hotel project designs in Prague, which is Alcron Hotel, awarded already in 1999 as the best European hotel in the category of luxury hotels. According to our project design, the construction of a rooftop bar extension with a panoramic restaurant and an outdoor terrace with a magnificent view of the historical centre of Prague has started. The project won a major international award, namely the 1st place in the International Property Awards competition.

Among the number of new hotel projects designed by our company, I would like to mention the renovation and extension of another historical building in Prague 1 – the Purohotel project, the construction of which will start in January 2025. Upon completion, a 4-star hotel with a capacity of 150 rooms will be built in Prague.

Renovations and extensions

As far as other projects and designs are concerned, I would like to mention the new construction and renovation of the Vyšehrad Residence development in Prague 2 and the renovation and extension of the historical building of Národní dům Smíchov cultural centre in Prague 5. These include also another two designs for the renovation of the important building of the former Živnostenská Bank in Prague 1, the renovation and extension of the former department store in Celetná Street into a 4-star hotel, and the renovation and extension of two historical buildings in Prague 5, where 180 residential units will be created upon completion.
