Building complex Prague is part of a planned and started large settlement for social housing on the outskirts of the city of Prague. Initially, infrastructure was built by the competent municipality to encourage construction on the peripheral part of the city. Our project is part of a wider program for the whole settlement, consisting of several blocks bordering the streets and boulevards.
The proposed building is adapted to fill the empty space, searching for the urban unit of new and old fragments, products of different moments. These fragments can never be reduced to a direct unit but must exist as parallel realities.
The project consists of 102 residential units arranged in three separate lamellas of 34 apartments, whose structure ranges from one to four bedrooms. The construction parcel is flat and bounded with two roads from which the lamellas can be approached by car and on foot.
The suggestion is to make three separate lamellas perpendicular to the main street, identical by structure, the number of apartments and design, and different by external materialization.
The north-south orientation allows the buildings to be more separated, thereby increasing the amount of sunlight that penetrates the inner facades.
The lamellas are interconnected with the basement space in which there are parking spaces. From the basement, there is direct access to the apartments over the staircase and the elevator. On the ground floor of the buildings, business premises for the residents of the block are planned in which small family enterprises can develop. The goal is that the inhabitants do not need to go to town every day, but they can find all the contents within the new settlement. On the space between objects and around buildings, green areas with spaces for the setting up of children's playgrounds are planned.
The typology of apartments is spaciously open to the terrace, with kitchen and living room from the hallway. The bedrooms and bathrooms are grouped and are accessed from the living room or hallway.
