Aukett Prague is a part of an international group of fourteen design studios employing over 500 architects and engineers.  It was formed in 1998 with the Aukett plc´s purchase of an already successful practice called Collingwood and Partners in Prague. We represent a wholly owned business unit of the plc company which is one of the largest and most respected design practices in Europe.  The local company has prospered and developed a diverse portfolio of new-build office or mixed use centres, city centre refurbishments, interior design, hotel and residential centres typically for international clients.  The resultant team of this unit is 25 in Prague plus a branch office in Bratislava which we set up to deal with an increasing workload in Slovakia and beyond. The business is managed jointly and structured like a partnership between Paul Phillips and Jana Lehotska who report directly to the UK board.
