Residence Korunní

Korunní Street belongs to the old development of Královské Vinohrady and as such has its genius loci and its own specificities. As it moves away from the centre, the facade in the historically eclectic style is replaced by the First Republic architecture, which is typical for both the Vinohrady streets and the surrounding residential developments. 

It was clear to us from the beginning that we wanted to build on the original architecture or to interpret it in a modern way. Therefore, architectural elements such as horizontal lines, sculptured facades, loggias, accentuated corners and receding floors were used. We then unified the entire residential complex by horizontally highlighting the first three floors with winter gardens. 

In front of the northern building, a completely new forecourt will be created, open to Korunní Street. It will be planted with trees and grassed with irregular clods. Modern elements of the public space will provide benches, rubbish bins and public lighting. A new fountain will be built near the tram stop - ideal for a landmark or meeting place. 

Residence Korunní is designed primarily as housing for families with children. Only in its northern part will small shops and studios be built. In the design process. When designing we thought about people with reduced mobility, for whom we have adapted both indoor and outdoor spaces. Similar adaptations will also take place in the surrounding area, whether it be pedestrian crossings, boarding islands or waiting areas at public transport stops.
