The lots comprising the residential complex are owned by two entities and are provisionally designated as the South Phase and the North Phase. As part of the proposed Project, the landowners have reached a contractual agreement on a joint approach and mutual coordination of construction. Therefore, from an urban planning perspective, the residential complex is conceived as a single, integrated whole across its entire functional area. We consider the agreement between the two investors to create a single logical unit to be the greatest contribution to the urban structure of this site.
The residential complex is designed as a semi-enclosed block with a publicly accessible ground level, consisting of individual, interconnected apartment buildings linked by the commercial spaces on the first floor facing Počernická Street.
The buildings in each phase are functionally connected by a shared underground garage. Thus, parking is primarily provided underground, with only the necessary number of parking spaces for visitors designated at ground level. The volumes of the proposed buildings create a semi-public courtyard space with park-like landscaping. We consider this mixed-use development—which creates a clearly defined street space and is divided into public, semi-public, and private areas—to be the most suitable form of development for establishing an urban structure and fulfilling the project objectives of the Land Use Plan.
The forms of the individual residential buildings are simple, predominantly featuring a single recessed floor. The buildings have a regular grid-like façade composed of windows and recessed loggias. The recessed floors are distinguished from the main structure by their materials. The design applies the principle of combining two materials—the main facade surfaces are treated with bands of light-colored facing bricks, while all "cuttings" , i.e., the walls of the balconies and the recessed floors, are designed with smooth plaster in a dark gray-brown color. The railings of the balconies and terraces are designed using steel profiles with glass infills.
The retail ground floor facing Počernická Street forms a long line; between the apartment buildings, it is visually raised to the height of the second floor. The extensively glazed surfaces are divided by distinctive vertical slats. The retail ground floor is flanked by a wide paved sidewalk and a park-like forecourt combining paved and grassy areas complemented by ornamental flower beds.
The inner courtyard is a park-like recreational space traversed by a wide, gently undulating walkway that connects the two pedestrian passages. This walkway leads to pedestrian paths toward the entrances on Počernická Street. The organically shaped design of the ground floor and its details softens and complements the simple cubic form of the apartment buildings.
The architectural design aims to be non-intrusive to its surroundings and to bring urban-enhancing value to the area, primarily by enhancing the street frontage, creating a semi-public courtyard, and a public parterre with shops and commercial services.
The residential complex is designed entirely to the passive house energy standard. Triple-pane windows and provisions for the installation of exterior blinds are standard features in the apartments; all units will be equipped with mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
The South Phase is commercially known as Green Port Strašnice and will offer a total of 156 units across three buildings. We respect the location where we are building, which is why the project’s name includes the word “port.” For decades, the site was home to the Czech Maritime Shipping Company. That is why we drew inspiration from a maritime theme when designing the project. Maritime symbolism is reflected in the names of the buildings and their sections, and we have also incorporated elements related to this theme into the shared courtyard.
