Under the Vítkov Hill. Apartment Building Vitkovka in Prague Peter Lacko, Filip Tittelbach, Adam Kekula, Lenka Dvořáková / A.LT Architekti

The apartment building aims to naturally fit into the street front of Koněvova Street in Prague-Žižkov and blend in smoothly with the surroundings. Its character reflects the now disappearing spirit of the Žižkov development with a loose bohemian atmosphere. It might appear a bit retro, but the aim is for it to be contemporary. The plot size for the project was that of two or three typical old apartment buildings in Žižkov. For this reason, the building is divided into two identical volumes, optically differing in façade colors. The main asset of the site is a close proximity of Vítkov Park to the north and of the new bike path built in the place of the former railway tracks. Therefore, a passageway in the ground floor that connects Koněvova Street with the park plays a key role. It also fronts both parts of the building and shields its entrances from the busy road.

Ujel Brnu vlak? Roman Čerbák

Těžko, stojíme na perónu a čekáme. Prý už sto let, a proto se teď musíme rozhodnout, kam s nádražím, co nejdříve. A přestože se svět změnil, mnozí v Brně s neotřesitelnou jistotou prosazují sto let starý nápad. Zatímco v první polovině minulého století byly kouřící vlaky nevítanou nutností a v té druhé se u nás většina takovýchto plánů nesla v megalomanském budovatelském duchu mimo vhodné měřítko...
