Společnost UNIDRAIN rozšířila sortiment výrobků v rámci exkluzivní a oceňované řady HighLine o čtyři nové elegantní povrchy v mosazné, měděné, leštěné oceli a v matném černém provedení. Nová série, která se nazývá HighLine Colour, zvyšuje designovou úroveň, která umožňuje vyladění koupelny do posledního detailu. Koupelna již není klinicky bílým prostorem, který chce vypadat co nejčistší. Stala se prostorem, ve které vyjadřujete svoji osobnost stejně jako v jiných místnostech, např. v kuchyni nebo obývacím pokoji.

In 2000, Petr Mikšíček set out on a three-month, 1,000 kilometer trek through the border mountains of the Czech Republic. This was also the start of his life’s journey, in which he’s trying to preserve the disappearing memory of the Krušné hory region. He organizes land-art gatherings in the former village of Königsmühle, documents and revives monuments using new technology, and makes movies based on legends and stories of the region. In the interview, we discussed the re-discovered borderlands, the culture of Krušné hory, contemporary Czech‑German relations, growing tourism, as well as transformations to the landscape of the Sudetenland.

The Dobruška cemetery, with the dominant Church of the Holy Ghost and the onion domed bell tower, is situated on a hill to the east from the city and is surrounded by a marlstone wall. The area in front of the cemetery is crossed by an old lime avenue separating the new funeral hall from the parking lot. The funeral hall references the nearby chapel with its size, uses materials typical for the area, but its form is contemporary – it is based on the principle of progressive horizontal layering. On top of the sandstone brickwork that reaches as high as the cemetery wall, there is a glazed strip ending with a ledge with timber cladding. Above this level rises the main volume of the hall with a facade of cleft larch shingles, interrupted by one window only, high on the eastern wall and bending into the plane of the roof. The hall with 50 seats is situated in the center of the layout and is surrounded by a circle of auxiliary rooms and sanitary facilities for the public and visitors to the cemetery.
