URBAN VISION OF “BUDĚJOVICKÁ“
The street “Budějovická“ is becoming a significant element of communications in the city district Prague 4 - Michle.
Abundantly frequented underground station is enlivened by an expansion of a new and universal public space,
defined by adjacent volumes of multi-functional buildings. Shapes of freshly designed objects consistently reproduce
the street line and provides two height - differenciated platforms with recessed square surrounded by vegetation.
Due to mixed functional utilization in the area is the option of lucrative city housing in combination to services
in parter and rentable areas the best offer and solution to the design of this urban conception. The variety of use
rests on a simplicity and directions of important approaches to the bound surroundings.
The proposal counts with involvement of the urban green belt as an image of tree lines on the street providing
a natural barrier, and the possibility to cross the road using pedestrian islets. Extension in the north part of the DBK
building is removed and creates a new perfectly blended arcade aisle combining the area of recessed square
with the rest of the block. This axis also interconnects yet badly accessible space in the south-western part by newly
designed bridge related to “Budějovická“ street. Designed volumes can be accessed as well from the street,
as from the square below, through the service cores in every building. Those have two-level parter with mixed use
of shops, services and administrative offces on higher floors.
