Jakub Cigler Architekti

What Jakub Cigler Architekti does

Jakub Cigler Architekti is a privately held Czech architectural studio founded in 2001 by architect Jakub Cigler and headquartered in Prague. The firm operates as a joint-stock company (a.s.) with a team of 50 professionals and specialists, providing comprehensive architectural design services across residential, commercial, infrastructure, and heritage sectors. Its core offerings include architectural design, urban planning and masterplanning, interior design, heritage building restoration, and a specialized focus on large-scale timber construction (dřevostavby). The studio manages the full project lifecycle from initial vision and feasibility through planning, permitting, and construction supervision.

The studio's technical differentiation centers on sustainable design and landscape integration, with active specialization in large-scale timber construction exemplified by D.O.K. (Dřevák) — the largest timber apartment building in the Czech Republic — in collaboration with Skanska. The portfolio includes major projects such as The Park office campus (190,000 m²), Florentinum (126,000 m², LEED Platinum), Digital Park in Bratislava (74,000 m²), Quadrio mixed-use, Victoria Palace (Czech Architecture Award 2025), and ongoing transport infrastructure including Praha-Bubny Railway Station and Masaryk Railway Station. The firm has secured multiple LEED Platinum and WELL Gold certifications, demonstrating depth in sustainability credentials.

The business model is professional services billing, with project-specific fees negotiated based on scope and complexity rather than publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through enterprise client engagements with real estate developers (Skanska, Penta Investments, Penta Real Estate, CPI Group, CRESTYL, YIT Stavo, Odien Real Estate), government and public-sector clients (Správa železnic, Hlavní město Praha), and corporate tenants (Accenture). Projects are secured through architectural competitions, direct client relationships, and referrals within the Czech and Slovak markets. The firm is independently owned with no external funding, M&A activity, or institutional investors disclosed.
