The Hagibor development is a mixed use brown field development on the border between the traditional Prague residential districts of Vinohrady and Strašnice. The overall masterplan, co-authored by IBA, includes residential, office and retail functions and once completed will create a new City quarter. This prime location is close to Vinohradská avenue and 5 min walk from metro station Želivského.
The 1st residential phase featuring two buildings totalling nearly 15,000m2 was completed in mid 2022. The 2nd phase, comprising the Delta and Gamma buildings provides 27,000m2 with 272 flats with ground floor retail space, has been completed in 2024.
The new buildings take their design clues from the 1st phase Alfa / Beta buildings with each building having it's own distinctive, individual yet complementary approach. The Delta building continues the street line along Počernická street and is split into three main volumes above a two storey plinth. The composition is tied together by strong horizontal lines created by continuous balconies, which are punctuated by random vertical fins, providing shading, privacy and acoustic separation.
In contrast to the restrained Delta, the taller Gamma building behind is more expressive, freed from the more polite urbanism appropriate for main street facades. The expression is almost crystalline with an agglomeration of angled balconies creating a powerful and dramatic composition with each apartment given a unique external space.
It was critical for us to design comfortable and distinct public and private spaces to unify the projects and to do this the overall landscaping theme is carried over from Alfa / Gamma. The 'micro wood' concept was developed with the French landscape designer Michelle Desvigne and incorporates a dense matrix of mature trees and shrubs which create an immediate impact. This helps to modify the microclimate and amplifies the connection to nature and is an overriding theme that will be replicated throughout all phases of the development.

Greenery plays a significant role in the project. Therefore, an automatic irrigation system has been designed to draw rainwater from a storage tank. For home control, the SmrtHome system is installed, regulating heating and blinds, thus contributing to the project's sustainability.
