NEW CENTER HOSTIVÁŘ - PRAGUE 15

CTU in Prague - Faculty of Civil Engineering

Project idea

THE URBAN CONCEPT CREATES AN ELEVATED RED PATH THAT CONNECTS THE BUS STOP AND THE TRAIN STATION FOR THE PEDESTRIANDS, SO THEY CAN SHORT THE WAY. THEN THE RED PATH CREATES A PUBLIC SPACE AND SEPARATES THE MASS INTO TWO PARTS, CREATING A SHOPPING AND COVERED PASSAGE FOR RESIDENTS.

THE NEW CENTER SO OFFERS A NEW TOWN HALL, CULTURAL CENTER, LIBRARY, SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, CAFE AND PUBLIC SPACES WITH PLENTY OF TREES.

WE ALSO FOCUSED ON THE DESIGN OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND ON THE NEW PARK WHICH IS NEAR THE WATER, THE PARK HAS CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND, WORKOUT AND YOGA AND A RELAX ZONE.

Project description

IT WAS INTENDED TO DEVELOP A NEW CENTRE OF SERVICE IN THE STABILIZED AREA ON THE EDGE OF A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.THERE
IS A SIGNIFICANT LACK OFS MALLER SHOPS AND SERVICES, NOT
TO MENTION CULTURAL AMENITIES.THE TOTAL AREA IS 39KM².

THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE SITE IS DOMINATED BY AN
INDUSTRIAL AREA, LOCATED RIGHT ACROSS THE RAILWAY. IN THE SOUTH, YOU CAN FIND A UNIVERSITY AND A HIGHS CHOOL CAMPUS AS WELL AS SOME CIVIL AND SPORT SAMENITIES. THERE IS ALSO A LARGE FOREST PARK NEARBY.

NEARBY ,THERE IS A BUS STOP, TRAINSTATION, CYCLE PATH AND A TRAM STOP. A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE TERRITORY IS COVERED WITH UNMANAGED GREENERY. THERE IS ALSO AN UNMANTAINED
STREAM. ONE OF OUR GOALS WAS ALSO TO PRESERVE AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE.

AN INAPPROPRIATELY LOCATED PEDESTRIAN ROUTE LEADS ACROSS
THE TERRITORY TO THE UNDERPASS. AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE
UNDERPASS THERE IS A SMALL OBJECT FOR SELLING TRAIN TICKETS.
WE ELIMINATED THESE COMPONENTS WITHIN THE PROJECT AND
TICKET SELLING WAS INTEGRATED INTO THE NEW BUILDING.
