Daniela Polubědovová, Cezch Republic
Daniela Polubědovová is a versatile architect who not only masters the creation of grand buildings and smaller-scale structures such as family homes, but also possesses an innate ability to craft interiors and breathe life into individual objects and exhibitions. This universality, stemming from her exceptional talent and comprehensive education, is becoming increasingly rare in a world where architectural professions lean towards specialized expertise. However, it also bestows a competitive advantage upon her. It enables a holistic approach, blending various creative disciplines harmoniously, transcending the boundaries of mere utility and transforming architecture into an art form.
Daniela Polubědovová possesses a distinctive style, a devotee of simplicity and naturalness. The spaces she engages with flow effortlessly, affording them the greatest potential for growth and imbuing them with a unique atmosphere. She unites seemingly incompatible elements, reason and emotion. She applies rationality to her designs while allowing herself to be guided by instinct, sensitivity, and empathy. In her hands, architecture becomes a sensory experience, enabling her to delve beneath the surface of things and reveal their essence. An indispensable characteristic of her architecture is the emphasis on meticulous attention to detail in every original element, meticulously executed with extraordinary care. What she conceives and sketches, she is equally adept at manifesting flawlessly in reality.
This results in the creation of poetic and timeless places where one can freely breath, find tranquility and discover oneself in harmony with the surrounding colours, forms and materials. The house becomes a home. An office is transformed into a pleasant environment that helps to foster creative thought. Architecture is supported by a narrative in which words are replaced by shapes and sentences by their overall composition, which never gets boring.
Daniela Polubědovová wants, in her own words, to achieve one goal: “For people to feel happy in the new space and eagerly return to it.” She has been successful in doing so for over twenty-five years.
