PSN Vanguard lounge
The building carried traces of both its original architecture and the heavy-handed 1990s renovation. Suspended ceilings, layered finishes, and office partitions had gradually erased its character. We chose to restore the interior's authenticity by exposing its essential elements — the structure, concrete surfaces, and original room proportions. The raw foundation is paired with carefully selected materials, generous wooden surfaces, and minimalist details. The result is not a conventional developer's showroom, but a space that feels relaxed, current, and free of standard office aesthetics.
Meetings beyond the office
The main reception area functions as a setting for client meetings and presentations of the Vanguard project. At its centre stands a large solid-wood table combined with concrete and steel. Exposed structure and raw surfaces are balanced by warmer notes — timber, textiles, and softer lighting — giving the room the feel of a private club or lounge rather than a developer's office. It is this contrast between raw architecture and precisely designed details that defines the atmosphere, echoing the character of the Vanguard project itself.
The meeting zone is defined by glass partitions — if you're curious about how we think through their design, we've written about it separately.
Technical facilities without the typical office aesthetic
The same approach extends to the back-of-house. The kitchenette and restrooms are built around raw materials, exposed structure, and a deliberate simplicity. Rather than standard office facilities, these are treated as a full part of the interior. Concrete, dark surfaces, steel details, and pared-back furnishings hold the concept together even in the areas usually overlooked. The PSN Vanguard Lounge reads as a single, coherent whole — with no visible line between its representative and operational zones.
Vanguard Goes Beyond a Single Loft
We have worked on Vanguard since 2017 and know the building from basement to rooftop. For PSN, private investors and individual owners, we have designed nine loft interiors, the reception, shared spaces and wellness in the original civil-defence shelter. Every brief was different, as were the size, height and intended use of each space. Explore all OOOOX projects at Vanguard Prague and see how we approach the selection, design and delivery of a specific loft.
