Family House Hlubocepy / RO_AR Szymon Rozwalka architects

The proposed building is located on the border of two different worlds: the urban and the natural. From the north-western side of the site is a wedge of bio-corridor stretching along the Dalejský Brook. The corridor is enhanced by the distinctive exposure of the Hlubočepské Rocks. Urban space surrounds the site on the south and east sides. It is a chaotic and random development, often adversely affecting the value of the projected terrain. The form and spatial layout of the house is a direct response to this context.

The character of the house came from given parameters of the existing plot. The shape of the building reacts to the directions of the surrounding streets (Vrchlického, Prachnerova, and Hlaváčkova) and its corner position closes the narrow city block. The residential building Prachnerova became a gallery house with internal atriums.

Five Building / QARTA architektura

History meets future declares the fitting motto chosen for the project Five, located in Prague 5 – Smíchov. A tram depot building occupied the project site, but that could have been called a relic even when it was built. While forming an important endpoint in the city transport system, complicated access had been its disadvantage right from the beginning. The depot building still looked almost exactly like when it was closed, years later when current renovations began. Previously it had proved too difficult to adapt for a new use, so it remained in a sort of permanent provisional state.

Renovation of a Functionalist Villa “Indian Ship" / Idhea

Rayen Sagredo — Tue, 01 Jan 2019 01:00:00 +0000

The villa was built in 1936 according to the design of a noted Czech architect Vladimír Grégr, grandson of a well-known journalist and politician. Built in functionalist style, the villa has significant rustic elements including conical exterior walls, rough dragged work and wooden casing. In the framework of maximum respect to the original character of the house, the modifications include removal of the accumulation of insensitive silt of the 80s, highlighting the unique spaces and architectural details, and adaptation to modern living standards.
