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.
