Hadir Al Koshta — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 06:00:00 +0000

The site is located in the cadastral area of Trnava on plot no. 5671/92, owned by the City of Trnava. It is a built-up area and courtyard within the urban zone, with a total area of approximately 13,555 m², forming a primary school campus including part of a gymnasium. Prior to the design, the site contained outdated sports facilities, various paved surfaces, and urban furniture. The terrain is mostly flat, and several utility networks run through the area. The original sports surfaces, pavements, and furniture were removed, with only the artificial turf football field retained.

House of Grid | Embracing life between indoor and outdoor spaces - On the outskirts of Trnava, a brand-new residential quarter is unfolding. The typical tapestry of streets weaving through a chessboard of homes leads to vast plots offering glimpses of the nearby natural splendor. Right here, we found ample space to nurture the concept of a ground-level house seamlessly connected to its garden. Veiled beneath the facade's surface, which defines the house's square footprint, hides an intricate internal structure. Breaking away from the conventional blueprint of a compact house expanded by terraces, an open residential landscape emerges, complete with buffer zones, organically extending the interior spaces towards the garden.

Trnava, the regional vision-having city of 62,000 inhabitants, launches an international two-stage urban design competition of an unprecedented scale across Slovakia. From the point of the history of the city ̓s development, this is a game-changer to be setting a new standard with respect to the preparation of The Land-use plan.

The winning design will serve as a basis for updating The Land-use plan of the zone situated in the eastern part of Trnava, covering 135 hectares. The territory spreading on the twice the area of the historic centre of Trnava has been defined for decades as a reserve for the

We told ourselves, that we’re going to let space stand out and work just with it. We want these huge open volumes because it’s all about having that airy space. About seeing from one side of the apartment to another. About a feeling of openness and simplicity and about finding space for our individualities, experiences, and joys. We need to think of what exactly do we need in our lives.

The entire complex was created by joining multiple adjacent sites, which had access from 3 different old – town streets in Trnava. The sites originally contained multi-storey houses with a passage and were connected through backyards. After uniting these adjacent sites a new open space was created within the central urban structure. The space was then complemented with new objects. This is how the new public space of „Nádvorie“ (Courtyard) was created.

A former monastery in which this flat is located was built in 1719. In the middle of 20th century it was converted into an apartment house. The mail goal of the project was to convert this space with a lot of disrupting layers into a clean and functional dwelling for a young couple. We decided to uncover the beauties of old construction methods with a reasonable budget. After a short design process it was clear that the focus will be put into the main living hall. It is an open space with height of 3,6m, restored original trusses on the ceiling and a full height library. Part of the library is able to rotate and serves as a secret door to the bedroom suite behind, providing fluid connection of these two parts. Currently the apartment is inhabited by a childless couple, hence the open plan. In the future it could be converted into 3 bedroom apartment with just small interventions.

Leonardo / Andrea Klimko Architecture

The urban situation is unique. The Leonardo Building is situated directly in the historical center of Trnava, in Town Conservation Reservation on Holleho Street, where are a well-preserved historic building dominants – such as complex of university buildings, the Archbishop’s office, Trnava University, early-baroque cathedral Church of John the Baptist. In the close vicinity of the location, there has recently grown a newly built hotel Holiday Inn with a congress hall. Together with the mix-used residential building Leonardo, it builds up the integrated urban block.
ConceptConceptual design of Leonardo was created on the basis of invited architecture competition in 2007. We wished that our proposal will be fresh, collateral and authentic impulse diversifying the Town Conservation Reservation with its limited conservative opportunities for flexibility and other developments of the Central urban zone. Functionally, the residential building has mainly got a housing function with shops in parterre and the entrance ‘piazza’ resembling the atmosphere of medieval micro-squares.It was an impressive gap with a nice width of 20 meters without any supports. Inside of the empty social space was a ramp and terraces for relaxing in the greenery. The main objective of ‘piazza’ was to lighten the compact material and acquit the space, bring in the street life, create urban public space. Do not close young people in front of gates but freely communicate in a ‘green language’, bring some colors, lightness and fresh air. Strengthen the environment identity by adding new architecture quality leading the enriching dialogue with the community.Project, its further development and finding the compromisesAfter consulting the draft on the basis of MB in Trnava, it was more than clear that our progresive proposal does not correspond with their conservative ideas, and it is perceived controversially. The conservationists’ requirements relied on the Heritage Conservation Principles, which promoted the usage of ‘traditional’ shapes, materials like a plaster facades in pastel color, red roof tiles, following rather the imitation of historical styles. These 20-years promoted conservative trend in conservation in Slovakia, which so tightly defines the aspect of new buildings, has got a tendency of directing it to the outdated trivial perception without low architectural quality and true authentic aspects. It supports historicist rather than progressive and authentic architecture. There has started a long and difficult process of finding the compromises, and confrontation of different ideas about the aspects of New in Old. About how the contemporary architecture should looks like...Implementation projectThe whole process started in late 2007, in the period of construction boom, and obtained the building permission in 2009 when the entire investment process was meddled with the crisis, and the original investor was unable to construct the building. The project was acquired by a new progresive developer led by the Architect Pavol Kollár in charge, which requested the change of functional utilization, disposal solution, and architecture quality modification so that the project will have a chance to survive and be different than the other new buildings in Trnava.However, the window tectonics was changed to required ‘vertical rectangles’ and the aspect of both hips has changed as well. The originally designed loggie in north hip have been replaced by skylights. The space arrangement has been made more effective. We have emphasized the building entrances by dynamic inclination, ending in a small passage – ‘micro-micro-piazza’ (width of only 7.5 m instead of 20m). There have been many changes during the process but final shape of Leonardo building stayed in the expression of archetypal abstraction as in the beginning.
