New Provostry Extensions and Reconstruction / Studio acht

Hadir Al Koshta — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 12:00:00 +0000

The New Provostry is a historical building from 1877, built in the neo-Gothic style, adjacent to St. Vitus Cathedral in the heart of Prague Castle. Originally intended as the residence of the provost, the building was confiscated in the early 1950s and has largely remained abandoned since then. During the communist era, the courtyard and associated outbuildings were destroyed, and the main building was used as barracks for construction workers. In 2016, the New Provostry was returned to the Church under the restitution law. The reconstruction concept focuses on reopening the inner courtyard to the public. It offers a unique view over the lower Deer Moat, as no other courtyard on the north castle wall is publicly accessible.

The tower stands in the northeastern outskirts of the town of Velke Mezirici on top of Fajtuv hill at the elevation of 557 m. The structure offers not only a view of the city, the picturesque landscapes of the Czech-Moravian Highlands, Žďárské hills in the northwest and the Drahany Highlands in the east, but it is also gives the possibility to see the Austrian peaks, in good weather conditions.

Private Residence / Studio acht

The original historical residential building of the farmhouse was irreversibly destroyed by a number of insensitive reconstructions done by the previous owner. We thus made a decision to build in its place a new building that would follow the original plan of the initial structure and allow the other farm buildings on site to continue defining the previous courtyard composition. The barn in the upper part of the courtyard from which only the peripheral wall was left standing, was not restored to the original shape but intentionally left in the existing state and conserved. Inside of this fragment a lightweight built-in garage roof level was constructed, lower than the preserved perimeter wall of the barn and thus completely hidden from the outside views.

The core of the building consists of a two-story shopping mall with more than 60 shop units, summing up to a leasable area of 17,500 square meters.
