EDIT! Architects shared with us their design for River Park Modrany, a residential complex in the Modrany district, located in the south of Prague by the Vltava river. The district is typically covered with villas from the beginning of 20th century that surround the Modrany landmark, a 60m high Microna tower. We have divided the plot into strips of land in a perpendicular axis to the main urban lines [tramline, train tracks, main road, the river itself]. A building volume has been placed into every strip and main vertical cores have been defined for all volumes. We have stretched up the core building parts in a way to create the hill-like shapes of the buildings. The volumes have been afterwards rotated in order to improve the particular views from every building. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The plot is located on one of these brownfields fringed by the elevated tramline on the east and railway track on the west, towards the river. The river is lined with the belt of greenery followed up by the brownfield zone with potential for future development. The green belt west of the plot is used for leisure activities (golf, cycling, tennis volleyball etc.) with several attractive public services. On the other side of the river there is a natural reservation called Chuchelsky haj, which affects the plot mostly visually by forming a magnetic view to the west.
