The project proposes a contemporary apartment building on a pair of urban plots along Zenklova Street, drawing conceptual inspiration from an earlier design by the previous owner. While the former proposal envisioned seven above-ground and two underground floors, the new design reinterprets this framework through a more contextual and urban-minded approach.
The architectural concept is rooted in Prague’s traditional perimeter block typology, aiming to reinforce the street’s urban structure and support its long-term transformation. A clearly articulated and active ground floor strengthens the relationship between building and public realm, contributing to the future vibrancy of the neighbourhood.
The street façade is defined by three key elements:
— a visually anchored, robust ground floor,
— a sculptural bay window projecting into the streetscape,
— and a setback top floor that reduces the building’s perceived height.
Toward the courtyard, the façade transitions into a system of loggias designed to maximize afternoon sunlight from the west while creating a calm, sheltered atmosphere for residents.
Overall, the design seeks to harmonize with the existing architectural fabric of Zenklova Street, while also anticipating future height regulation and urban development. The result is a building that strengthens its context, respects its surroundings, and sets a foundation for the district’s continued evolution.
