It is being built on the Old Town Square. Restaurants, spas, conference facilities, bars and top quality rooms. All this awaits the visitors of the grand hotel according to our design.
In the hands of a team of our architects, the long-closed Sixt's Palace comes to life. The most interesting reconstruction of historic buildings in the last few decades is taking place on the Old Town Square. Thanks to a sensitive reconstruction, the neglected complex of Sixt's Palace will finally open to the public, Praguers and hotel guests.
Každý krok v rekonstrukci je podřízen respektu k historii – objeveny byly například renesanční malované stropy, fresky či kamenické detaily, o nichž neměli tušení ani odborníci z památkové péče. Jejich obnova probíhá ve spolupráci historiků, restaurátorů a architektů s důrazem na nejvyšší řemeslnou kvalitu.
Projekt je aktuálně ve finální fázi hrubé stavby – probíhá restaurování fasád, instalace nových oken i detailní práce na interiérech. V přípravě jsou i technologické instalace a realizace skleněných konstrukcí. „Byla to dlouhá a trnitá cesta, ale teď už všichni vidíme na společný cíl – otevření hotelu v roce 2026,“ říká Michal Šourek, šéf ateliéru MS architekti. Ačkoliv se původně uvažovalo o spolupráci se sítí Ritz-Carlton, finální provozovatel zatím nebyl potvrzen. Ve hře je i možnost, že hotel bude provozovat investor sám. Celková investice se odhaduje v nižších jednotkách miliard korun.

I came from Plzeň in 1991, at early dark ages of the company and equipped with only a set of technical drawing pens, tracing paper roll, rulers, and acrophobia. And today, I am still with the company as a technical director. Sometimes, I am at the table buried in paperwork, some other time my shoes are dirty with mud from the site, but usually I am satisfied with what we have managed to build. At present, I am working on the design of a new hotel U Sixtů at Old Town Square, Prague; master plan of the residential complex at Na Vackově, Prague where the formation of a completely new district is in progress; and I am also working on the extension of the La Lorraine production plant in Kladno.
I had a chance to get familiar with what a project of a listed building restoration means while studying. At present, I continue dealing with the same topic so I can help integrate historic buildings into everyday life whether it is a hotel or an apartment building. I devote my spare time to music, especially choir singing, and travelling.
I graduated in architecture in the UDP-FAAD in Santiago de Chile. In the last 5 years I have been working on different projects and offices in Chile as in personal projects in the south of my country, especially in Patagonia.During this time I have successfully completed different types of project such a residential buildings and houses designs, renovations of heritage buildings, landscape projects and sports infrastructures. I believe that architecture is a means to interpret and critically project the territory and its components, rural and urban, natural and artificial, away from a reductive and idealized vision of reality. A space for the production of organization and form, using design as a strategic transfer system capable of opening new possibilities in the ways of life and occupation of space.
