What Aulík Fišer architekti does

Aulík Fišer architekti (AFARCH s.r.o.) is a Prague-based private architectural studio founded in 1991 by Jan Aulík (originally as Studio A, rebranded to AFARCH in 1996) and led jointly with managing director Jakub Fišer. The studio provides comprehensive architectural design services spanning urban planning, building design, interior design, and landscape architecture across typologies including administrative, residential, public, and mixed-use buildings, primarily in the Czech Republic and concentrated in Prague.

AFARCH's core technology is architectural design methodology rather than software products. The studio has developed specialized expertise in sustainable construction, notably cross-laminated timber (CLT) building systems demonstrated in the 2025 Kampus Cihelna school campus design, and passive shading facade systems co-developed with ČVUT University Centre for Energy-Efficient Buildings (as deployed on Roztyly Plaza). Notable signature works include the Bořislavka Centrum multifunctional complex in Prague 6 (2021, European Property Awards winner) and the Brumlovka/BB Centrum district buildings for Passerinvest, which AFARCH has been masterplanning and designing since winning the original 1994 urban planning competition.

AFARCH operates a professional services business model, generating revenue through project-based design fees structured across competition entry, concept design, design development, and construction supervision phases. The studio acquires work through two channels: public and invited architectural competitions (where it maintains a strong winning track record including three 2025 competition wins) and direct commissions from established developer relationships. Primary customers are real estate developers (KKCG Real Estate Group, Passerinvest Group, Penta Real Estate), with a secondary public-sector segment (municipalities such as Město Roztoky, and the Prague Airport Authority). The studio employs 11–50 people at its headquarters in Prague 5 and has no external institutional ownership or public listing.
