Interiérový Design & Architektura — Praha, Česká Republika
Jakub Lukašík has something most Czech interior designers don't: a portfolio that spans Zurich, France, Casablanca, and Prague. This is a genuine premium differentiator. The problem is that the current Wix site treats this international breadth as an afterthought — buried in a flat photo grid — rather than the centrepiece of the brand narrative.
The top competitors (Arkhe, Inside Studio, Armitage) win on three axes: custom typography, physical-world presence, and process transparency. Lukasik currently has none of these signals. But the underlying work — and the range of projects — is competitive at the highest level.
This report identifies exactly what the top 10% of Czech design studios do that Lukasik doesn't yet, and provides a data-backed direction for the new website that reflects the quality of the actual work.
The market benchmark. Arkhe is the strongest competitor in the Czech premium interior design market. Custom typefaces (PerspektivSerif + PerspektivSans), a physical showroom in Karlín (arkhe.SPACE), brand partnerships with Vitra and Montana, and a Shopify-powered e-commerce layer create a multi-dimensional premium brand that operates far beyond a typical studio site.
Fonts: PerspektivSerif-Light (headings) + PerspektivSans-Light (body) — custom licensed typefaces
CTA: "Začít projekt" — frictionless single step. Showroom address builds offline trust.
What Lukasik can learn: The process walkthrough (5 numbered steps) dramatically reduces buyer anxiety. A cream/warm palette signals premium without darkness. Showroom = authority even if the client never visits.
The SEO leader. Inside Studio ranks #1 on Google for "interior designer Prague" — the most valuable position in the category. Their positioning as "leading architectural and interior design studio" with "luxury bespoke designs and full project management" signals premium from the first search result.
CTA: "Full project management" as a headline — takes the burden off the client entirely.
What Lukasik can learn: Bilingual CZ/EN is essential. "Full project management" as a CTA framing outperforms "contact me" every time.
The lifestyle brand. Boutique on Pařížská street. Cormorant Garamond serif headings. A distinctive editorial aesthetic that reads as "fashion-forward designer" rather than "construction service." The makeover service for rental properties is a clever low-ticket entry product.
Fonts: Cormorant Garamond (heading) + Montserrat (body)
CTA: "Free consultation" — eliminates price as a barrier to first contact.
What Lukasik can learn: A serif heading font instantly elevates perceived value. "Free consultation" is a more powerful CTA than "write me."
The process leader. de-brut's 5-step process section is the most transparent in the category — idea, design, construction, documentation, visualization — laid out in plain language. Direct factory connections to Italy, Germany, Holland are stated as a concrete advantage. Priced at 490 CZK/m² which is the only published price in this competitive set.
Pricing: 490 CZK/m² — the only studio to publish a number. Creates trust even if clients negotiate.
What Lukasik can learn: Publish a starting price. Even "from X CZK/m²" qualifies leads and signals premium over template shops.
Architecture-first, residential focus. Portfolio-led site with strong Czech brand recognition. Clean, confident minimal design. Shows how an architecture-biased studio positions against interior-design-biased studios — Lukasik can learn from the portfolio structure and project naming conventions.
Opportunity: BYRÓ focuses architecture only — Lukasik's combined interior + architecture + remote offer spans a wider client need.

Critical gap: Lukasik has an active portfolio in Zurich and France — zero competitors target this "Czech designer working internationally" niche. A bilingual EN site with case studies from Zurich projects could own this keyword space entirely.
Every studio scoring above 75 uses a premium serif for headings — Cormorant Garamond, Instrument Serif, or custom typefaces. Verdana and Arial are the visual equivalent of a stock photo: they signal "no design investment." A single font upgrade from Verdana to Cormorant Garamond costs nothing and adds 20 perceived quality points.
Arkhe shows 5 numbered steps. de-brut shows 5 stages. Inside Studio walks through project management. Clients are spending 500K–5M CZK. They need to see that the designer has a system. No process section = "I'll figure it out as we go."
Arkhe (Karlín showroom) and Armitage (Pařížská boutique) use a physical address as a trust signal. Most clients will never visit, but the address on the site says: "We're established, permanent, and invested." A Praha 5 office address is a start — it needs to be more prominent.
4 of the top 5 competitors offer full CZ/EN versions. For a designer with projects in Zurich and France who offers remote design globally, Czech-only is leaving the most lucrative clients (expats, international buyers) on the table. Inside Studio's #1 Google ranking is for the English version.
Lukasik has projects in Zurich, France, and Casablanca. This is exceptional. But these projects are displayed identically to a Zlín kitchen renovation in a flat photo grid. The hierarchy is wrong. A Zurich villa should be the hero image, with the international portfolio as the lead story, not item #8 in a scroll grid.
