Mjölk architekti

In 2008 we finished our studies at the Faculty of Art and Architecture in Liberec and founded our own studio, which we named after the most beautiful word in the Swedish dictionary. We are Mjölk. The aim of our work is to explore contexts, to discover the qualities of places, to fulfil our clients' deepest desires, and to have fun while doing it. We want this joy of freedom and creativity to be present not only in our projects, but also in the lives of our customers.
Maximum effort pays off. When we had scored our first goals in an international competition, back in 2010, and proved ourselves among hundreds of other architects from all over the world, we discovered the struggle is worth it. Since then, our projects have taken us to many different corners of this world and we still believe it is worth to do things at full steam.
Pictures are worthless. We need to create buildings, we have dreamt up with clients. That is why every project we touch matters to us.
People we collaborate with are our indispensable component. They are an inner engine of the studio, that can't be taken out. We strive to create a trust within them. A trust towards the work we do and a freedom that is essential to the creative work.
After graduating university we had decided to stay in Liberec. It's a good place to live and the smaller scale of the city empowers us to change things around us. We believe that good architecture can be done from any location. Great architecture doesn't need cities.
This small-town way of life is not without its perks. We try to influence our surroundings. We have our own bar Vokno, organize running events Divočina and an urban festival Kino. Talk is cheap but taking action is far more rewarding.
