Parking house Jana Gayera
The newly developed parking garage is located in the area of the Gayer and Vrbenský barracks in the urban conservation zone of Hradec Králové, between Šimková, Československé armády, Opletalová, and Divišová streets. It replaces urbanistically and architecturally inappropriate commercial and technical buildings. It accommodates 284 parking spaces for personal vehicles running on liquid fuels (gasoline, diesel), electric vehicles, and a portion of the garage will allow parking for vehicles using gaseous fuels (LPG, CNG). We have reserved spaces for electric vehicle charging inside, with the possibility of expanding this number to up to 24 charging stations. The constructed building will reduce the deficit of parking spaces in the city center and mainly free up existing urbanistically and functionally unsuitable parking areas in the center of the site for public multifunctional space.
The architectural solution of the parking garage is based on the purpose of the building, with an emphasis on its sensitive integration into the historical area. In the design, we aimed for maximum transparency that allows views through the building. The structure consists of two masses connected by communication cores, enclosing the future square space in the Gayer barracks. The higher entrance part with four floors visually connects to the historical barracks buildings and complements the northern street line of Šimková Street.
The parking areas are vertically offset by half a floor. They are interconnected by two-way ramps. Two stairwell tubes with elevators provide access for pedestrians. The space between the ramps on the ground floor is utilized for technical rooms, which are followed by social facilities and entrances from the eastern and western sides of the building. In the remaining floors, we left the space open to create an airy atrium that brings natural daylight into the building. The entrance to the building is from the roundabout on Šimková Street, adorned with two concrete obelisks describing the course of the battle at Lipjagy, in which Lt. Jan Gayer suffered injuries that he ultimately succumbed to.
Structural solution - the building consists of a monolithic reinforced concrete skeleton with stiffening vertical communication cores. The ceilings are flat, sloped concrete slabs. We selected a structural module for three parking spaces; the outer fields are limited to two spaces due to static effects. The outer cladding is open with vertical profiled larch slats, locally supplemented by exposed concrete walls. The building is topped with a flat roof covered with a layer of gravel screed.
