Annotation
THE VRŠOVICKÁ BRÁNA HOUSE, TOGETHER WITH THE REST OF THE BLOCK, IS AN ADDITION TO THE OLDER QUARTER, RESPONDING TO CONTEMPORARY REQUIREMENTS AND BRINGING THE PRINCIPLES OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE INTO THE AREA.
A TWO-STOREY BAKERY IS SITUATED ON THE CORNER OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT IMPULSE FOR THE SOCIAL LIFE OF THE LOCALITY. IT ALLOWS PEDESTRIANS TO STEP OUT OF THE HECTIC RUSH AND ENJOY A BIT OF REST.
AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IS THE ACTIVE COMMUNICATION WITH THE SURROUNDINGS THROUGH THE GARDENS, WHICH DISRUPT THE STATIC FAÇADE AND HELP TO OPEN THE HOUSE TOWARDS THE EXTERIOR. THE INNER BLOCK ITSELF DEFINES A SEMI-PRIVATE SPACE, PROVIDING THE INHABITANTS WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALISING, RECREATION AND SPORT.
