about NEAT
My name is Andrea, an architect and the founder of NEAT.
I studied architecture in Prague and Glasgow, with time spent in South Korea and Vienna. This was followed by an almost seven-year collaboration with On, Switzerland — first as part of the in-house team and later as an external design partner.
Working across large-scale international projects shaped the way I think about precision, collaboration and the importance of individual decisions within a larger whole.
I founded NEAT in 2024 as an independent practice built around
a more focused and personal way of working.
NEAT is intentionally small. I lead each commission myself, from understanding what a project needs and establishing its direction to reviewing the decisions that shape it as it develops.
Depending on the project, I work alongside architects, makers, artists and other specialists, bringing in the right expertise where needed.
Today, my work moves between interior projects, advisory and editorial or curatorial commissions - different formats connected by the same role: giving an idea clarity and direction.
I am particularly interested in projects with a strong sense of place, where there is room to establish a clear character and carry it consistently through the space, objects and details.
Based in the Czech Republic,
working locally and internationally.

vision
A well-designed interior feels natural to use, clear in its intention and specific to where it is.
I am interested in spaces where function, atmosphere and character are considered together.
What matters to me
_ How a space works before how it looks
Movement, proportion and everyday use establish the foundation.
_ Editing rather than adding
Every element should have a reason to be there
and contribute to the whole.
_ A strong guiding idea that can guide individual decisions
Materials, furniture, lighting and details should strengthen
the overall direction rather than compete for attention.
_ Character with clarity
Calm can still hold colour, contrast, history and personality.
_ Spaces that get better through use
The aim is an interior that can accommodate everyday life
and develop naturally over time.
The result should feel considered without feeling over-designed:
a space with enough structure to hold together
and enough freedom to be lived in.
