There are 2 studios in Šaldova Street, one of them belongs to Rony Plesl, the other to architect Vladan Běhal. Rony was his small one and Vladan his big one.
The original architect's studio with the showroom was rebuilt into a studio for designer and artist Rony Plesl.

The fundamental change of space lies in the vigorous installation and the decision to place it in the center of the layout. The construction is consistent from floor to ceiling. It is a strange hybrid - a machine that hides cavities, cut-outs, openings, and absorbs technical functions. The doubling of the columns caused structural chaos and brought anxiety into the interior. All building surfaces were unified. The original brick vaults are now abstract white, as are the walls (new and original). A perfect neutral background for artwork was achieved. Interesting is the floor, which has long been debated, the result is due to controlled chance. A layer of cheap, much diluted paint with a pinch of green was poured onto the existing concrete floor. After drying, the expected effect of a marble surface was created. A bonus of the interior is the enclosed balcony, which overlooks the courtyard, but there is no access to free space. However, as the enclosed balcony is on the ground, it was possible to incorporate naturally growing greenery directly into it. It created a green oasis. On the enclosed balcony there is a small outdoor kitchen. Sitting at a cedar table, which was used from Rony's previous studio. It was dimensioned and attached to the supporting columns of the facade. The space of the studio serves as a gallery where Rony Plesl exhibits not only his works but also the work of his colleagues - related artists. Rony has her intimate office upstairs. On the ground floor there is space for his co-workers. The studio and warehouse are located in the interior of the building.
