Ateliér Ostrava

Ateliér Ostrava s.r.o. is a Czech architectural and engineering design office (projekční kancelář) based in Ostrava. According to its official website, the firm provides comprehensive services in architecture and building design, with a strong focus on building information modelling (BIM) and virtual reality. It works on both residential and non-residential buildings, including transport and technical infrastructure design, and accompanies clients through the entire project process — from preparation, surveys and documentation of existing conditions, through studies and building-permit documentation, to construction documentation, interior design and author supervision during construction. The company has used BIM since 2018, primarily with Autodesk software such as Revit and Civil 3D, and has offered virtual reality as part of its advanced visualisation methods since 2019. Its website states that it celebrated its eighth corporate anniversary, indicating a founding around the mid-2010s, though the exact founding year is not given in the available evidence. The firm is presented as a private Czech company (s.r.o.), and Wikidata describes it simply as a Czech company. Ateliér Ostrava is active in the Czech professional community. Its staff — including Miriam Muroňová, Marek Stařičný, Ondřej Špetla and Michal Satin — have lectured at the ČKA Digi Day conference on BIM and digitalisation in building design, presenting practical experience with data standards for BIM models. The office has also acted as BIM coordinator and digital model creator for a pilot project of the Moravian-Silesian Region involving the Fontána administrative building in Hlučín. As a design office rather than a product manufacturer, its offerings are professional services: project documentation for new builds and reconstructions, BIM coordination, 3D/IFC models, virtual reality walkthroughs, interior design and construction supervision. The brand is therefore best classified as a general professional-services company within the architecture and engineering sector.

Ateliér Ostrava s.r.o. is a Czech design office based in Ostrava. Its official website states that the company celebrated its eighth anniversary, which implies it was founded around the mid-2010s, although the exact founding year is not provided in the available evidence. The firm describes itself as a projekční kancelář — a project and design office — offering complete services in architecture and building design. A key development in the company's history is its adoption of building information modelling. According to its website, it has used BIM for almost all projects since 2018, working primarily with Autodesk software including Revit and Civil 3D. This allowed the office to move beyond traditional 2D documentation and offer investors 3D IFC views, project phasing, work with building scans, advanced coordination, information management and links to facility management. From 2019, the firm also began to specialise exclusively in virtual reality as an advanced visualisation method, which it says has become an integral part of project delivery for many commissions and is popular with investors because it allows a detailed walkthrough of a building before construction. The office has been active in the Czech professional community around BIM and digitalisation. Its staff have lectured at the Digi Day conference organised under the auspices of the Czech Chamber of Architects (ČKA). In one presentation, Miriam Muroňová, Marek Stařičný and Ondřej Špetla shared practical experience from assembling BIM models according to a building data standard — specifically a public client's data standard, since a national standard was still being prepared. The presentation was aimed at architects and clients new to working with data standards, covering pitfalls and procedures for improving the methodology of commissioning such contracts. Ateliér Ostrava has also been involved in a pilot project of the Moravian-Silesian Region intended to test the use of an information model during construction and subsequently in building operation. The administrative building of the contributory organisation Fontána in Hlučín is being realised, with Ateliér Ostrava acting as BIM coordinator and creator of the digital model, responsible for meeting the client's information requirements. The company's website notes continued growth and expansion of its office, and it remains active in the Czech market.
