One hundred twenty million crowns. That is how much a villa sold for a few months ago—a villa that sculptor Bohumil Kafka had built in the 1920s in Prague’s Ořechovka neighborhood based on a design by architect Pavel Janák. The new owner, a Czech businessman, plans to renovate the villa and preserve it as a historical and architectural legacy for future generations.
The interior is now primarily defined by a combination of materials such as wood, stone, and textured plaster, complemented by a cohesive color palette.
Apparently, ever since puberty, Martina Pártlová had dreamed of calling a beautiful, spacious farmhouse in the countryside “home.” Thanks to her successful singing career (and, as she herself admits, a few mortgages), she managed to make her dream come true. The result, which she has now shared, is truly impressive, and her fans are completely captivated by her home.
Singer Martina Pártlová, who celebrated her 46th birthday on May 28, owns several properties. In addition to a beautiful house near Prague, she also has a cottage in the countryside, which she had completely renovated. Until recently, she had been planning to buy a home abroad, specifically in Bali. However, those plans ultimately fell through.
As a result, demand is growing for large apartments, penthouses in new developments, and exclusive residences at iconic locations such as Pařížská Street or Prague’s historic center.
Premium villas priced at over 100 million crowns constitute a separate category. For these properties, the focus is on unique architecture and a fully customized living experience. In the highest segment of the real estate market, it has long been about more than just the interior design or the house itself.
Apartments in Prague are now selling for more than 200,000 crowns per square meter. And the larger ones are so expensive that it is very difficult to sell them at all. As a result, developers are redesigning their projects to include as many small apartments as possible. Even apartments as small as 16 square meters are no exception.
Small apartments used to be considered “starter” homes for young people, who would eventually move on to larger ones. Today, however, even for a couple with a decent income, a small apartment is the most they can afford.
Luxury living is undergoing a fundamental transformation today. Gone are the days when a large floor area and expensive materials were enough. Today’s luxury is based on attention to detail, technology, and, above all, the ability to create a space that perfectly matches the owner’s lifestyle.
TheTempus Designarchitectural studio specializes in the design, construction, and furnishing of villas valued at over 100 million crowns, as well as in the renovation and interior design of luxury apartments at the most prestigious addresses.
Interior design and its quality influence concentration, regeneration, and interpersonal relationships. Not only experts but also laymen are increasingly aware of this. Feng Shui is now found not only in multinational offices and hotels, but also increasingly in Czech households. It is not an esoteric trend, but a well-thought-out way of working harmoniously with space.

How does Tempus Design fulfill dreams of ideal living? In this exclusive interview, find out how a team of architects and designers create bespoke interiors to suit the clients' needs. You'll find out how first meetings are conducted, what styles they prefer and why their approach is so personal and professional. You'll also find out how they've tackled their most challenging projects, including the renovation of Simona Krainova's apartment.
Simona bought her rooftop duplex in Prague 6 long before she met Karel. When their son Max was about to be born, they bought the neighbouring apartment from Dara Rolins (50) and connected the two spaces. The result was a luxurious 400 m² home. The new apartment offers a very clean and minimalist design according to the latest design trends, dominated by timeless white and light wood.
Space, furniture and lighting play an equally important role in minimalist design. This design is bold rather than boring, as it might seem at first glance. It is functional and memorable. Minimalist design has never been inspired by strictness or austerity; instead, it is considered a luxurious and elegant style. It is simple in form and function, as it avoids unnecessary accessories and decorations. Less is more. This is doubly true with minimalist interiors, even though it may sound like a cliché to you. Such an apartment is characterised by a predominantly monochromatic colour palette, a limited number of furniture and accessories and a certain "tidiness".
In recent years, the industrial style has been gaining in popularity, and no wonder. It represents a fresh approach to living that works with contrasts, large spaces and interesting materials. As part of our series on housing styles, we turned to the interior designers at Tempus Design to help us grasp the concept of industrial style with everything you need to know.
There is an idea at the beginning of everything. Then comes the idea and after that comes the realization. But when we decide to implement the idea, the stumbling block comes, and that is spatial imagination, specifically in the interior. We're going to focus on the idea.
It happens quite often that a client comes with a request that is not entirely practical or is completely unfeasible. Most often it is an overabundance of furniture in a small space, a combination of disparate materials or colours, etc.
A dishwasher without an electricity supply, additional cutting of water lines or a forgotten cable from the aerial to the TV - all of these can make the building more expensive. This can be avoided by thinking carefully about the interior before you start building.
An interior architect is the best friend of any good project and the biggest mistake in construction or renovation would be to postpone the interior design "until the end".
First we build, then we furnish - that may have been the way it used to be, but the modern approach to beautiful and comfortable living is exactly the opposite. It is the interior that really defines the whole project.
Elegance and sophistication are qualities we admire in Hollywood stars of the 1940s and 1950s. Rita Hayworth, Greta Garbo or Marilyn Monroe as symbols of femininity are unparalleled. Interiors inspired by their times and personalities are still popular today. And with a good designer, you can have one too.
Nikol Leitgeb (35), better known by her maiden name Štíbrová, is a mother of two little rascals, a newlywed wife and a member of the 3in1 party, in which together with Veronika Arichteva (35) and Martina Pártlová (42) she designs original fashion with signs that don't lack their killer wit, has, like her fellow members of the trio, thrown herself into building a family house. While Martina has already finished and Veronika is just getting ready to renovate her old house, Nikol already has a clear idea of her house.
