OBERMEYER HELIKA Marks 35 Years in Czech and Slovak Markets

The design and consulting firm OBERMEYER HELIKA is marking 35 years since its founding. Established in 1990, the company has been involved in hundreds of projects in the Czech Republic and abroad, covering healthcare facilities, multifunctional arenas, residential and commercial complexes, bridges, highways, and industrial buildings.

The firm is part of the international OBERMEYER Group and operates from offices in Prague, Brno, and Bratislava. Its teams include architects, engineers and technical specialists, and it often works with experts from other disciplines such as medicine, history, and the arts.

One of its recent projects, the Family Care Pavilion at Pelhřimov Hospital, received the Building of the Year 2023 award, recognised for its construction quality and technical execution. In the industrial sector, OBERMEYER HELIKA is collaborating with Škoda Auto on conveyor bridges and a car body warehouse in Mladá Boleslav.

The firm has expanded its digital capabilities in recent years, using 3D models, point clouds, virtual and augmented reality, digital visualization, and programming tools. It is also beginning to apply artificial intelligence in project work.

From next year, OBERMEYER HELIKA plans to move its Prague headquarters to the E Factory building in the Pragovka Art District in Vysočany, a redevelopment of the historic Praga factory site.

Over its 35 years, the company has been involved in several high-profile projects, including the reconstruction of the former Grain Exchange at the Czech National Bank, the roof structure of Prague’s O2 Arena, and most recently the new multifunctional Brno Arena. Current projects include structural design for the expansion of Westfield Černý Most, general design for the Prospect Zlín high-rise, and documentation for Galerie Pernerka in Pardubice. In healthcare, key references include the Proton Therapy Center at Bulovka University Hospital and the Medicentrum in Prague’s Waltrovka district.

In Slovakia, OBERMEYER HELIKA has been active since 2004, starting with the Bory Mall shopping center in Bratislava. Ongoing work includes the reconstruction and expansion of the University Hospital in Banská Bystrica, as well as the refurbishment of the Dunaj department store and the development of the Metropolis residential towers in Bratislava.
