The Innovation Manor is an easily duplicable concept, where a historic property becomes a place promoting education, collaboration and innovation beyond bias. Ours is set in an authentic village in Subcarpathia: Rokietnica. By following sustainable strategies, new technology and a respectful approach to heritage, we envision creating a beautiful place that fosters a sense of community and wellbeing. This concept reflects the very values and strategy of the European Union, as we understand it.

Once a working-class neighbourhood known for its vibrant social scene and progressive community, Žizkov has been subject to market pressure, with private development pushing locals out. Reclaim Žižkov aims to resuscitate the neighbourhood by creating desirable, affordable and sustainable housing. In partnership with the district town hall, Reclaim Žizkov intends to convert vacant municipal property into a living network that includes shared spaces and is based on cooperative management, offering a new paradigm for cities losing their spirit.

FOLK concept is the result of several years’ research about Polish rural architecture and particularly the characteristic decorated bricks, with relief embellishments, that can be found on certain buildings (barns, granaries…). The aim is to give these buildings a new life, through sustainable renovation that maintains their original form and details, while adapting them to a new use as public places, where local communities can come together and discover treasures of Polish cultural heritage.
