Meaning in architecture:
– Bionic architecture is a contemporary movement that studies the physiological, behavioural, and structural adaptions of biological organisms as a source of inspiration for designing and constructing expressive buildings.
Meaning in our case:
Bionic has a more symbolic / transferred meaning – it stands for the principle / approach to solving problems in architecture in accordance with the principles of preservation of natural values, with a sense of environment and the identity of the location. Every project originates and grows out from the location. As such, it relies on modern technical and constructive solutions and adequate materials in order to achieve better performance and better exploitation of facilities.
HISTORY:
Architecture office Bionique was founded in 2009 by Adam Špehar as a studio for interior design and 3D visualizations. During the last 10 years, the bureau has been active in parallel with other engagements of the founders in the field of architecture, while in 2021 it changes the structure and becomes the main engagement with a clearly defined vision of architectural practice.
Bionique is an architecture office that applies modern constructive and technical knowledge, principles and measures of energy efficiency and specific concepts for each location and project task of the client, taking into account the entire life cycle of buildings.
OUR MISSION:
From the very beginning, our practice has focused on creating human-oriented design, as well as sustainable design. We have determined that our environmental and social commitment will be focused on the development and creation of energy efficient projects with zero carbon dioxide (zero-carbon) emissions and on buildings that use environmentally friendly construction techniques, materials and energy sources.
WHAT WE DO:
Today, the architecture office Bionique has three employees who have 10 years of mutual cooperation on both domestic and international projects (Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Tunisia, Indonesia, Russia).
Our practice includes architecture, interior design, building renovation, 3d modeling and visualization, 3d animation, energy efficiency and investment value assessment. We have licenses for architectural design and energy efficiency. The bureau cooperates on its projects with civil engineers, engineers of mechanical, hydraulic and electrical installations and experts in automation (“smart home” systems).
The architecture office Bionique looks at the specific wishes, requirements and problems of clients, not global trends. We create new and appropriate concepts for each project. Bionique also uses regular design and software solutions to standard requirements and problems.
WHO ARE OUR CLIENTS:
– Individuals or families building their home.
– Investors who are investing in real estate for the first time.
– Clients who want to improve the energy performance of their facilities.
– Companies with many years of experience that want to increase their space and program capacity.
– Other architectural offices
WHAT PROBLEMS DO CLIENTS FACE:
Architecture office Bionique helps its clients to get acquainted with applicable laws, regulations and procedures, with construction systems and the cost of construction. We explain to them in more detail what architects do and how much their engagement is worth. Our goal is for clients to gain the trust that architects, together with other engineers, will help them fulfill their wishes and expectations with their knowledge and skills.
