VINICE - SYLVÁN

Residential building in Sylván, Pilsen is located on the boundary of district of concrete blocks of flats and lower post-revolution residences. Whole complex consists of L shaped building and tower. Visage of the building is based on regular rhythm of simple elements and windows rather than colours. This is a reaction on over-coloured facades of recently renovated neighbouring blocks of flats. The task was to design a low budget building. The aim of this project was to show, that it is possible to achieve a strong architectural expression using inexpensive elements. Those elements are prefabricated concrete balconies and translucent plastic sheets. Special effort was put into design of courtyard, where an underground rain water reservoir and large trees are situated.
