Resumen:
Beneath the ridge of the White Carpathians, where forest turns into meadow, stands the new headquarters and showroom of Janošík, a company producing windows and doors for contemporary architecture. The architecture arose from reflections on quality windows and their ability to shape space and atmosphere through connection with the surrounding landscape. The building was reborn through the reconstruction of a 1950s cooperative hall, originally used as a grain warehouse. What was once a closed structure has been opened both symbolically and physically. A barrier has been transformed into a link between the building, the meadow, and the distant views—so that the very essence of windows could be revealed. The building is called Spoj—The Link. The architecture was designed by Jakub Janošík, who shapes the design and artistic direction of his family company: «We wanted to create a pleasant space for work. Also, a place where we can present our products—windows, doors, sliding walls—where people can not only see them but also experience them. The surrounding nature and hills have probably influenced our perception of architecture in close relation to the landscape. It is something we are reminded of here every day.»
