Residence CASTLE VIEW

The project of five residential buildings, CASTLE VIEW, is located in an exceptional area of Prague 4, on Kavčí hory. Because the new complex is situated right on the edge of the hill, it offers unparalleled views of the surrounding area. The buildings provide a view primarily of a large part of the Vltava valley, the slopes of Smíchov, the rooftops of houses in Podolí, and, for example, the Podolí waterworks. A completely unique view is of both Prague castles, Vyšehrad and Prague Castle, which are positioned one above the other, nearly overlapping.
The new complex of five point buildings replaces the existing administrative building, which disrupted the existing predominantly villa-style development with its height and mass. Therefore, we designed more buildings on a smaller scale to adapt to the existing surrounding development. The use of a high order on the facades additionally visually reduces the new buildings. The pleasant scale of the entire complex is also aided by the use of contrasting materials on the facades of the individual buildings. There is a combination of light, smooth, exposed concrete with prominently structured dark-colored rough plaster. The gardens that have emerged between the individual buildings are full of greenery and mature trees.
