Urban Block Restoration and Contemporary Interpretation of Traditional Prague Architecture
A solid urban townhouse with an active ground floor
Context and Urban Planning
The design of the apartment building is part of a broader effort to restore an urban block that had almost entirely disappeared during the 20th century. The goal of the project is to create buildings that respectfully complement the surrounding historic architecture and strengthen the character of Horní Libeň — a hilly, layered neighborhood defined by eclectic buildings, stucco decoration, and pastel-colored facades.
Urban Scale and Density
As the surrounding urban fabric becomes denser, new developments in the area are growing taller. Horní Libeň, once made up of smaller-scale housing, is now being supplemented by 6–7-storey buildings. The proposed apartment building follows this trend — with its seven floors, it reinforces the urban character of the district.
Massing and Façade Articulation
To preserve a human scale, the volume is articulated into several façade segments based on the internal layout. The top two floors are recessed, except at the prominent corner.
Loggias and French windows act as recurring architectural elements, ensuring light-filled interiors and providing views of both the city and the quiet inner courtyard.
Architectural Details and Local References
Rounded Corner and Public Realm Formation
A dominant corner volume with a curved edge defines the future square, referencing local urban typologies and contributing to the shaping of public space.
Materials, Colors, and Architectural Elements
Façade: Pastel-colored plaster, referencing the local tradition
Ground Floor: Articulated with a bold linear plaster texture
Railings: Slim metal railings, with glass panels used at the corner section
Shading: Exterior fabric blinds in matching pastel tones
