Product overview

UNIT architekti s.r.o. is a Prague-based architecture and urban planning firm offering professional services across urban planning, architectural design, public space design, competition entries, research, and public participation.

Their portfolio spans land-use planning (územní plány), territorial studies (územní studie), masterplans, residential complexes, public spaces, and building design. The firm also conducts research through affiliated organization Centrum kvality bydlení and collaborates with academic institutions including ČVUT Faculty of Architecture.
