The project of the team of Wojtech Vaclavik and Piotr Nemek was created on the territory of the former Alma cinema in the center of Prague. An area of 800 m2 includes cafes, restaurants, wine bars and a tasting room. Each of these spaces permeates each other, forming a harmonious whole, while maintaining an individual character.
The reconstruction of part of the block in the Czech district of Wojteszka combines several completely different spaces on two floors – a historical building with vaulted ceilings, a new concrete building and printing houses of the period and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Alma is available to its guests from morning to evening-the day can start in a cafe, lunch and dinner can be served in the restaurant, and then go to the wine bar to taste elegant drinks. An underground bar can serve as a nightclub. Naturally, this corresponds to the character, color and atmosphere of each of the rooms.
The modest interior is complemented by unusual lightboxes that illuminate them. The lamps used vary depending on whether they are located in historical parts or in new construction. Therefore, complex material connections and similar compositions are intertwined through all operations and spaces.
The main element that connects all this is the vertical ceramic tile, the color of which gradually darkens from the lightest shade in the cafe to the darkest in the underground bar. This decision symbolizes unity in diversity, which is the leitmotif of the entire project.
