AFFORDABLE PRICE and QUALITY OF LIFE play the most important role in new housing. 🏡✨  We have prepared a catalog of homes for you, ranging from the most compact to standard, made from natural materials and with thoughtfully organized spaces. BECAUSE:   1. More than the materials used, the price is influenced by the number of square meters 📏   2. The quality of life is most affected by the amount of natural materials used 🌿  THEREFORE:   1. We have carefully designed the space so that everything has its place🛋️   2. The structures and materials are designed to regulate humidity and heat by themselves, are breathable, antiseptic, and positively influence not only air quality but also the internal comfort and wellbeing of the residents 🛏️🌬️.  You can view the entire catalog of compact homes we created for you together with the cooperative *Bývame Zdravo* here: https://lnkd.in/euZimh_d... 🌿🏡

Minimalism, where naturalness takes center stage. 🌿 At Atelier ARCHA Studio, we are not about following trends but expressing the contemporary lifestyle of people who think timelessly. ⏳💡 Whether it's a traditional cottage a futuristic earth habitat, an elegant urban home, or a compact hemp house like this one, the most important thing is the lifestyle that will unfold within. 🏡🌱 And let’s be honest... ... there’s no better way of life than living in a garden, especially when the garden flows inside. 🌿🏠✨ That’s why we almost exclusively use clay plasters, which are by far the best at regulating indoor humidity. 🧱💧 That’s why our homes are primarily made of wood—flexible and strong. Every element is tested by the environmental stresses during the tree’s growth. 🌳🔨 That’s why we often use hemp insulation, which can handle climate changes and withstand extremes. It's no wonder it's also used for sealing plumbing pipes and clothing. 🔩🌾 That’s why our homes resemble beautiful vacation retreats. We make no compromises, and no one should when it comes to connecting with nature. Life is easier this way. 🌍🏡😊 #minimalism #naturalliving #ecofriendlybuildings #sustainablehome #connectionwithnature #woodenhouses #clayplaster #hempinsulation

We are excited to introduce our new project 🏡: the renovation of a vineyard house, where we have combined the beauty of a brick building with an extension and an additional floor using natural materials. 🌿 In our design, we were inspired by Slovak tradition, but we also added a touch of Japanese fusion, as the homeowner is a graduate expert in Japanese culture. We are using a wooden post construction, hemp insulation, clay and lime plasters combined with wooden cladding. We have also cleverly solved the temperature zoning to ensure comfort in both summer and winter. ❄️☀️ #Renovation #VineyardHouse #NaturalMaterials #SlovakTradition #JapaneseFusion #SustainableArchitecture #BackToNature

At Ateliér ARCHA, we believe that natural materials are the future of sustainable environments for all living things. That’s why we are deeply committed to exploring their potential across various fields of architecture and research. 🌍 Here’s what we’re currently working on: - 🧬 Experiments with mycelium and hemp as revolutionary building materials. - 🛠️ Research and development in 3D printing using natural resources. - 🚀 Designing structures for space habitats with a focus on sustainability and the use of natural materials. - 📄 Preparing a white paper for the space architecture community, highlighting the importance of natural materials for maintaining a high quality of life in space. We regularly share these innovations with both the professional and general public in collaboration with Astrovisum.

At Atelier ARCHA 🌿, we approach the design process differently. It’s not just about finding a plot of land to place a house on and then creating a garden around it. For us, the key is to place the house *within* the garden. The landscape was there long before the house, and it's crucial to respect its natural character. Our goal is to create spaces that blend seamlessly with the environment – garden-like landscapes with elements of a forest 🌳, ideal for living, learning, working, and relaxation. By respecting nature, we craft environments that are naturally pleasant and harmonious. Importantly, this approach does not compromise utility, ergonomics, functionality, or the cost-effectiveness of the building. On the contrary, our experience shows that this sensitive and natural integration of structures into the landscape enhances all these aspects more efficiently. 🏡 The more we respect the landscape, the more organically we can tackle challenges, such as designing a building in an already established garden with mature trees 🌲🌸. As you can see on the picture of our hempcrete house with green roof. #AtelierARCHA #Architecture #Sustainability #Gardens #Nature #ArchitecturalDesign #OrganicDesign #Ergonomics #Functionality #CostEffectiveness

Here’s a throwback to the early days of Atelier ARCHA when we organized a workshop on decorative clay plasters in a cozy family café. The building was an old structure made of raw bricks, which had almost been entirely covered with cement plaster. Fortunately, we were able to restore its original charm by applying clay plaster to one of the walls, bringing back the pleasant and natural indoor climate. 🌿 The full benefits of raw clay bricks and its positive impact on the microclimate can only be realized when it’s exposed or plastered with clay. Here's why clay plasters and unfired bricks are game-changers for interior environments: Benefits of Clay Plasters and Raw Brick on Indoor Microclimate: - **Natural Humidity Regulation:** Clay plaster naturally absorbs and releases moisture, helping to maintain a balanced humidity level, which is crucial for comfort and health.    - **Thermal Comfort:** Unfired brick has excellent thermal mass properties, storing and slowly releasing heat, which stabilizes indoor temperatures and reduces energy consumption.    - **Air Quality Improvement:** Clay plaster is a natural material that does not emit harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and even helps to filter indoor air, reducing allergens and pollutants.    - **Aesthetic and Acoustic Benefits:** The earthy texture of clay plaster provides a warm, inviting atmosphere and improves acoustics by reducing echo and noise. - **Sustainable and Eco-friendly:** Both clay plaster and unfired brick are sustainable building materials, with low environmental impact, promoting a healthier, greener living environment. #AtelierARCHA #ClayPlaster #SustainableBuilding #NaturalMaterials #IndoorClimate #EcoFriendlyLiving #UnfiredBrick #HealthyHome #GreenBuilding #InteriorDesign #NaturalLiving #ThermalComfort #WorkshopMemories

## Advantages of Using Natural Materials in Manufacturing and Office Spaces 🌿🏢 In today's world, there is an increasing focus on sustainability and the quality of the work environment. One crucial step towards achieving these goals is the use of natural materials in manufacturing and office spaces. Here are the main advantages of this approach: 1. **Healthy Work Environment**: Natural materials like wood and stone do not contain harmful chemicals often found in synthetic materials, contributing to better air quality and reducing the risk of allergies and health issues for employees. 🌱 2. **Aesthetic Value**: Natural materials provide interiors with a warm and pleasant appearance, enhancing employee satisfaction and creating a more inviting work environment. 🏡 3. **Sustainability**: Natural materials are renewable and have a smaller ecological footprint, contributing to the long-term sustainability of buildings and overall environmental responsibility of the company. 🌍 4. **Energy Efficiency**: Materials like wood have excellent insulating properties, which reduce the energy consumption of buildings, leading to lower heating and cooling costs. 🔋 5. **Acoustic Comfort**: Natural materials can absorb sound, reducing noise levels in indoor spaces and contributing to better concentration and productivity of employees. 🔇 6. **Durability and Longevity**: Natural materials are often very durable and have a long lifespan, which means lower maintenance and repair costs over time. 🛠️ 7. **Psychological Benefits**: The presence of natural elements in the work environment can positively affect employees' mood and mental well-being, reducing stress and increasing overall satisfaction. 😊 These advantages highlight why it is beneficial to consider natural materials when designing manufacturing and office spaces. Such spaces not only contribute to sustainability but also help create a more pleasant and healthier work environment. 🌟 #Sustainability #NaturalMaterials #HealthyWorkplace #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendly #WorkplaceDesign #EmployeeWellbeing #OfficeDesign #Manufacturing #SustainableArchitecture #ArchaAtelier #GreenDesign #EcoArchitecture #WorkplaceWellness #EnergyEfficiency #EnvironmentalResponsibility #BiophilicDesign #OfficeInteriors

In designing memorial spaces, we encounter a remarkable openness towards natural materials. Perhaps this is because, in the most challenging moments, when one reflects on who they are and who they have been with, nature feels like the natural place for this "meditation." Shouldn't we, then, strive to incorporate natural environments into our everyday lives, encouraging a connection with our inner selves and those around us? I believe that even contemporary memorial architecture does not fully harness the potential of natural materials and their ability to help alleviate stress and tension. Even though during ceremonies we regularly remind ourselves "dust you are and to dust you shall return," we are still hesitant to take this dust and use it as clay plasters to cover our interiors. Yet, it is precisely clay that can best regulate indoor humidity to the most comfortable level for humans, thus transforming the entire atmosphere.

Our design philosophy is clear: the layout must be like a cloak for the lifestyle of the building's users! 🏡✨ Otherwise, significant funds will be spent trying to fine-tune dysfunction with furniture and accessories. 💸🛋️ Plus, behind every exterior form must be a structure and composition that supports the whole functionality. It must be healthy, fresh, and sustainable. 🌿🏗️ Therefore, at Atelier ARCHA, we rely on millennia-proven natural materials and combine them with modern ones so their natural properties can function fully. 🛠️🌍 #DesignMatters #SmartLiving #EfficientSpaces #SustainableDesign #NaturalMaterials
