Peer and Studio Muoto have won the 1st prize in the international architectural competition for Revoluční 30 in Prague.
The design of the residential building is based on the tradition of Prague passages – the main volume of the building is raised above the roof of the existing Baroque house on the neighbouring plot, thus enabling the creation of a generous public passage, which has the potential to create another lively urban space in the very centre of Prague.
The winning proposal involves much more than a unique apartment house. It also includes a new publicly accessible passage to the Novomlýnská Water Tower, bringing life into the long-forgotten corner of the city and following the tradition of Prague passages, which are also present in the Revoluční Street.
Revoluční 30 does not cover the owner’s entire land, which can still serve a public function. In addition to the passage, the proposal also comes up with the idea to repurpose the Baroque house No. 1244 from the existing facility of the Pražské služby company to a cultural or educational centre. This is also to be discussed with the City of Prague, which owns the Baroque house. The investor is offering cooperation, trying to find a common path towards realization with the city. With its large potential for social and cultural occasions, the corner of Revoluční and Lannova can become a welcome place for Prague citizens and tourists alike. The lively public space and airy corner area are among the main attributes of the Revoluční 30 design proposal.
