The intention of the project was not only to build a multifunctional house, but also to enable the residents to connect the surrounding green areas seamlessly. As part of the architectural competition, we also addressed the issue of public space and urban connections in the surrounding area. The site is located at the interface between the old and the new Prosek and becomes a kind of symbolic link between the two parts. Historically, a pedestrian connection from St. Wenceslas Church and the falcon building to the Friendship Park ran through our land. Therefore, we have designed an exterior staircase with terraces on this pedestrian link in relation to the future café in the parterre of the house. The exterior staircase is a pedestrian exit towards the new Prosek and the metro station.
Another important issue is the creation of public space and the opening up of the parterre of the proposed building. Public services will fill the parterre. To be held also cultivation of the area around the public transport bus stop - connection with the sidewalk at one height level, which leads to the existing apartment buildings. At the same time
we are creating sufficient areas for the creation of an outdoor garden for a café/restaurant and a dispersed public area around the bus stop. Into the terrain break
below the footbridge we propose concrete/wooden seating for the public. The concept of the project was to create a landmark of two towers, where one of the towers connects to the
the direction of the existing long block of flats along Vysočanská Street. The second tower creates a dominant visual point on the street corner. The vertical landmark is in the given
location is appropriate because of its direct connection to the public transport hub.
