History of companies, buildings and communities
History and tradition are an integral part of the culture of all successful human communities and organisations. In fact, these seemingly unnecessary matters for everyday life or business work as a very strong unifying element in praxis. They help to build a sense of belonging of individuals to the community, to overcome negative relationships within collectives and to focus on one common goal. Established companies and traditional brands on the Czech market have proven to have a huge advantage over "nameless" competitors. Therefore, it is definitely worth knowing your own history and working to ensure that they do not fall into oblivion.

100 years of the Spa Hotel Imperial in Karlovy Vary
As a subcontract for the company KUKLIK.CZ, our employees prepared a history of the Spa Hotel Imperial in Karlovy Vary, which in 2012 celebrated the centenary of its opening. We have processed the obtained knowledge into a number of popularization texts, which we have actively promoted in regional and national media. The history of the hotel was published in the Imperial Life client magazine, we prepared a guided tour through the hotel with historical interpretation for VIP guests, and a time capsule prepared by us was inaugurated in the hotel's gallery, to be opened on the 200th anniversary of its opening in 2112. In cooperation with gastronomic expert Milan Ballík, a historical menu was also created for the hotel restaurant, containing dishes that were enjoyed by guests from the royal families, nobility, prominent politicians, businessmen, sportsmen and artists a hundred years ago.
History of the building of the Ministry of Regional Development of the Czech Republic
Representatives of the MRG were often asked by domestic and foreign visitors about the history of their headquarters in the palace of the former Prague City Insurance Company on Old Town Square in Prague, about which they knew almost nothing. In cooperation with KUKLIK.CZ, we have therefore created a turnkey representative publication for the Ministry, in which the historical interpretation in Czech and English is accompanied by a number of historical and contemporary photographs.
History of production in Pacov Machinery
On the occasion of the 140th anniversary of the founding of the first Copper Workshop in Pacov, the management of Pacov Machinery decided to publish a representative publication depicting its history in 2016. On the basis of long-term archival research, we wrote several versions of the text for the client, ranging from a scientific study to a more concise, popularized interpretation. More than a hundred historical photographs complement the text.
The Century of the City District of Prague 2 in Human Fates
The book provides an overview of the events that significantly affected the life in the territory of today's district of Prague 2, as well as most of the rest of the capital city and the whole country between 1918 and 2018. It is a popularization publication intended for the general public. Individual chapters are devoted to the founding of Czechoslovakia and the assassination of Finance Minister Alois Rašín, the changes of the district in the 1920s and 1930s, the air raids on Prague at the end of World War II, the suppression of demonstrations against the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1938, 1968 and 1969, the period of normalisation in the 1970s and 1980s and the most modern history from 1989 to the present. For better illustration, the description of events has been supplemented with contemporary photographs, including unique colour photographs from August 1968, and medallions of people whose fate was fundamentally intertwined with the events described.
