The apartment building at the corner of Železničářů and Za Papírnou Streets will be designed by Apropos Architects
Prague – A new residential building that the Prague 7 municipality will construct at the corner of Železničářů and Za Papírnou streets will offer more than sixty small apartments, about a third of which will be barrier-free. The costs will amount to 170 million crowns and it is expected to be completed within four years. This was announced today by the municipality's spokesperson Martin Vokuš. The building's designers are architects from Apropos Architects studio, who won an international competition.
"The apartments will be intended for seniors or people with health limitations, but there will also be starter apartments for young families and single parents, as well as service apartments for key professions such as teachers, nurses, police officers, and firefighters. The apartments are therefore designed in a modular solution, so they can be easily connected into larger units for the needs of multi-member families," said Deputy Mayor Pavel Zelenka.
The residential building will have six above-ground floors and one so-called recessed floor facing Železničářů street, five full floors, and one recessed floor facing Za Papírnou street. The design of the building refers to the industrial past of Holešovice. The building is designed to contain over 60 residential units, mostly of size 1+kk up to 30 square meters. Of these, 30 percent will be barrier-free apartments. It will feature a wide balcony to the courtyard and a communal room with access to the garden in the inner block.
The building will feature green roofs and photovoltaic panels are also planned, which will be used to save on common energy consumption in the building. Tenants will be able to grow herbs and vegetables on the rooftop terrace. Retail shops and civic amenities will be located on the ground floor of the building.
The municipal district aims to secure funding for the construction from the city magistrate's fund for the development of affordable housing. The building will cost 170 million crowns and should be completed within four years, although this will also depend on the length of the approval process.
The whole capital city has long been struggling with a shortage of apartments and their high prices. One of the solutions being advocated by the current city leadership is cooperative housing. Prague representatives approved the first such project in June this year, in which two blocks of buildings with up to 266 apartments will be built near Radlická street in Prague 5. The city intends to build also on the southern edge of the Černý Most housing estate at the border between Prague 14 and Dolní Počernice.
