Restaurant U Tellerů
On Jiřího z Poděbrad Square in Prague's Vinohrady, a new pub – U Tellerů – has opened after a complete renovation of the space.
The client – a successful operator of other Prague restaurants – enjoys connecting his spaces with the history of the location. He also challenged us as architects with this task.
In the original corner building, the Teller family operated a pub in the past. "Teller" translates to "plate" in German, which became the leitmotif of the entire design.
We collaborated on the interior design with DL Studio led by Ing. arch. Tomáš Hrubý, who also prepared the construction documentation.
The interior concept was created based on synergy with the investor and the historical value of the location. Plates are used in various forms on the walls, tables, at the bar counter, and on the facade. All of this is in line with the graphic branding of the pub. Plates were hung on the facade, on the walls, illuminated from behind, and even cut with a water jet. Ultimately, the motif was also used for the ceiling lights.
The circular motif is repeated in four round lights that dominate the space with their size. These are precise metalwork products with a diameter of 2 meters, suspended from a dark ceiling.
The interior is complemented by other atypical metal elements in line with the design concept. The columns supporting the beer tanks above the bar are lightened – made of welded steel rods – creating a semi-transparent structure that does not obstruct views.
The restaurant features an open kitchen concept, where guests can see the flames of the grill and, notably, chef David Kalina at work. A staircase with a glass front wall, featuring a wine cellar and meat aging room, leads down to the basement, which serves as the restaurant's back office.
The wall with a troweled finish resembling rusty metal, on which the pub's logo is projected, closes off the main space of the restaurant with windows facing Vinohradská Street. The large windows provide a view of the Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord, designed by architect Josip Plečnik, which features a significant circular symbolism in its interior. At the same time, from the seating at the round tables, one can also see the Žižkov TV Tower.
