NOVÁ ROUDNÁ RESIDENTIAL HOUSE

PLZEŇ / ZÁBRAN / 2015

HANUŠ ZÁPAL AWARD 2022 – MAIN PRIZE

BUILDING OF THE YEAR OF THE PLZEŇ REGION 2020 – NOMINATION

SHORTLISTED FOR GRAND PRIX ARCHITECTS 2021

The design of the apartment building fills the last vacant corner lot at the entrance to the Roudná district in Plzeň. Roudná is characterized by its specific brick buildings, approximately a hundred years old. We propose this character for the new building as well. The proportion of the windows is important, again referencing the original development. The plot is very long, designated in the original layout of old Roudná. Therefore, the length of the new building's façade is broken up by large windows in places. The building features an elevated corner, responding to the elevated corner of the opposite building, completing the urban composition.
