A year ago we started cooperation with Jirka Vávra. His family has been building a family-owned company Vavi specialized in the production of ladies' and men's shirts for the past two decades. As their current production facilities are small they have decided to expand their production to a new building. It should take on the role of production, office and sales. New factory will stand on the edge of Vimperk near the main road from Prague towards Šumava. The building will offer an unusual insight into the shirts manufacturing process to visitors. If you're going around, you can have a custom-made shirt and to see the whole production process from a café that's part of an affiliated showroom. And if you do not want to wait you can buy a shirt directly at the store.

One of the basic requirements in the assignment was to create a modern and comfortable workplace for seamstresses who will proudly sew a Made in Czechia shirts. The hall for sewing is in direct contact with the indoor garden through which visitors can observe the live production of shirts. The public part is separated from the production and office areas by the outdoor garden with a small pond. Offices connect the production and visitor part of the building.

The whole building is intended as an open concept that clearly presents the observer the secrets of clothing production. We are very happy with the result. It is great to meet the clients we understand and who appreciate the added value that our architectural services bring them.
