The plot (used for decades as a surface parking lot) is located in the medieval core of the city of Ostrava. In close proximity to the main square of the TGM and the Old Town Hall. The Nové Lauby block is a compact solitary structure. It naturally rehabilitates the memory of the place, its historical street systém. The housing complex has a quiet courtyard designed on the ground floor. The block is based on a capacity parking base of three underground floors. Project is strictly contextual. The aim was to maintain scale of the place, find a locally consistent volumetric solution and a harmonious expression of the building corresponding to its surrounding. The subdivision of the block is based on the context and scale of the place. The hint of the division of the block into the form of traditional houses is evoked through silhouettes, textures, colors, etc. At the same time, however, the building retains the superior and unifying character of a compact block, its overall proportions and scale. Given the scale of the surrounding development, the block has an external form of 8 volumes. Four corner volumes and four intermediate volumes between. Functionally, however, it is an economically conceived set of five separate vertical cores. The commercial parterre of Velká Street uses an arch segment as a reference to the history of the place – the Lauby (i.e. arcade). The house parterre retreats and extends Velká Street into a pedestrian zone. It clearly follows the existing arcade of the Old Town Hall. The roofs are designed as flat, residential, accumulative, in a combination of intensive and extensive greenery.
