Apartment building On the Embankment

Rebirth? That is the goal of the iconic Na Hrázi street. This street with a rich history, located in Palmovka in Prague 8, is almost disappearing and gradually falling apart under demolished or dilapidated houses. The task was to create a new development, but with a sense of history and cadastral plans of the street. The plot that I am solving in my project is located on the corner, at the place where Na Hrázi street flows into Kotlaska street. With respect to the existing seven-story apartment building on the left side and the original low-rise form of the demolished houses on the right side, I created a gradating mass in the style of three cubes. This form thus gently cements the high and low-rise worlds. Thanks to the closure of the corner, a semi-public courtyard was created.
