What archicraft does

archicraft s.r.o. is a privately held Czech architectural and interior design studio founded in 2008 in Prague by Tomáš Cieśla and Mirek Krátký. The firm operates with a team of approximately 12 architects, engineers, and designers, offering full-cycle design services that span brand concept and naming, visual identity, space planning, interior design, permitting documentation, and project management through construction completion. Its portfolio covers four primary segments: corporate and enterprise clients (e.g., Bird & Bird, Dentsu Aegis Network, Penta Investments), private residential clients, hospitality and food and beverage chains (Pilsner Urquell's Pilsnerka network, Bageterie Boulevard with 80+ locations across four countries, Bombay Express, Basics Coffee, Masaryčka Restaurant for Lagardère Travel Retail), and public and institutional projects including the Dinosauria Museum Prague for Kaprain Group and the Czech Embassy in Washington, D.C.

The studio's work is grounded in a material-driven design philosophy centred on natural and authentic materials (wood, concrete, metal, glass) and supported by an internal R&D initiative called MOONSHOT, introduced in 2024 to explore sustainable materials, urban planning, and experimental product design outside of commercial commissions. Notable recognitions include the AIA|LA Best in Show (2010, Czech Embassy), the BIGsee Interior Award (2021), and the AIA|LA Restaurant Design Award (2022). Operations span Prague as headquarters and a Los Angeles office established in 2012 under Partner Architect Marija Volkman, with project delivery extending across Central Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Japan.

Commercially, archicraft operates as a sales-led, project-based professional services firm. Engagements are quoted per scope and typically run on multi-year contracts, with pricing customized to project size and complexity and no publicly disclosed rate card. The firm acquires clients through direct outreach, referrals, portfolio visibility, and selective participation in architectural competitions, targeting both private investors and large corporations. Revenue is generated from architectural and interior design fees, bundled or standalone brand identity and visual identity services, and ongoing franchise or chain rollout design work for hospitality brands. There is no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no public listing; the business remains founder-owned and self-financed.
