Me This is my personal portfolio of academic and professional work.

My background of having two architects as parents has been helpful as much as incentive. Having doubts, naturally to the young, I seek my own style. Driven by respect, I learn from the experienced.

“The poet of the vague can only be the poet of precision!� cites Peter Zumthor text from Calvino in his book Thinking Architecture.

This seems very true and revealing to me. Having absorbed cultural particularities in different countries I have gained broader perspective as well as become committed to the detail.

What inspires me is architecture, which has witnessed plenty, solved more, which celebrates taste and still keeps quiet about it.

Introduction

program: office, residential and comercial complex location: Prague, Czech Republic year: 2011 area: ca 15000 sqm (5000 office, 5000 residential, 1000 retail)

Yellow sandstone tectonic facade with abstract openings with complex order

N

o.3 means three buildings, three solitaires, three functions. This is a project of completion of the historical site of The First Prague Common’s Brewery, that has, after the change of its function, atracted investments and has undergone vivid development. The concept draws from efforts to preserve the unique character of the campus as a structure differing from the surrounding orthogonal web of streets and apartment blocks characteristic to the particular city district.

Areal needs of industry in the 19th century clearly defined large campuses in otherwise orderly structured domain. These were three main areas: Slaugterhouse Holesovice (today’s markethall), Gas-works Holesovice and the First Prague Common’s Brewery. Nowadays, when the rights in property have changed and the campus ceased to be unified in function, the requirements for demarcation against its surroundings have changed accordingly. The campus became public space, where access is free but during dark hours.

1) The peripheral wall as a remain of the period of production loses, on such an exposed corner, justification in up to date circumstances.

2) The proposed three volumes placed at the pavement line act as solitaires yet follow the line of current block structure.

The characteristic interception of street web is obvious already on the 19th century brewery buildings and strengtens the sence of definition of the campus among the surrounding rigid structure. The site border itself is left free in between the volumes, gates are pushed back into the campus on the level of a fenced garden. Public space therefore freely encompases the proposed office buildings and touches the semipublic garden. Irregular cuts between the volumes allow for throughviews and formalize the places of entry to the campus.

“W

hen you want to go to the

nature, you take the car... this is how we live in a city today.”

PhDr. Petr Fejk, former director, Zoological garden Prague Park transport service , easy + quick = used Future main transport service point of the Northern park Prague is an underground parkhouse under the green nursery of Troja Chateau. It is directly connected to future trafic of the inner city tunnel as part of the inner ring of Prague (currently under construction). Regarding the idea of the Northern city park as a whole, but also all involved institutions working on their own, it is essential to enable fast and easy access to the gravity centre of the area.

Underground corridor leading from the parking to Zoo entrance via Chateau vault.

People in large numbers must reach atractivities from the parkhouse as fast and direct as possible without having to pass through the Chateau surroundings. In open air humans behave instinctively, relieved of the presure and control of built environment. To what extent are we able to point out the path or direct people?

The underground passage - a connection between the Zoo and the parking should in this sense determine visitors’ behaviour.

It should be fun! (funtheory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZV5aa_mQi0)

Nomination for Young Architect Award 2010, school project “If someone intends to create a “According to the jury an examdetached parking 4 kilometres far from the Zoological garden, the visi- ple of inspiring student approach tors, that the garden needs to survive, to urbanistic responsibilities will not have anywhere to park. It is, while seeking balance between after all, standard to be able to park a transportation, park and leisure car next to a supermarket or activities in a city activating swimming pool, so why should it be unusual connections (parking different in a Zoo?

If you force a family with three kids park four kilometres off the garden and commute by bus, they will simply stay home.”

PhDr. Petr Fejk, former director, Zoological garden Prague River park = dike + open field The dike as a phenomenon in the area with a story taking place on its surface and an open grass field in an alluvial area as a place for a walk, picnic, independant and undisturbed contact with the river.

Introduction program: residential complex location: Stara Boleslav, Czech Republic year: 2009 area: ca 7000 sqm

1 slab-type barrier apartment house alongside main road 3 solitaire apartment houses in quiet garden # apartments 35 + 3x3 # parking 46 apartment floorage 44,5 sq m -113,1 sq m public space including childrens’ playground On the northwestern side, the site is negatively affected by excessive noise level from passing traffic. On the southeast the neighbourhood consists of single family houses. Urban regulation on site allows for 30 % land

development.

The concept was to create two lines of structures connected through central semi-public alley. The first level takes shape in a slab-type barrier block of flats consisting of 6 sections along the main city road blocking out noise enabling for quite central semipublic spaces. The second line is proposed in form of three solitaire apartment houses placed within private gardens.

The layout of the slab corresponds to the needs of a barrier floorplan, it joines stairways, service areas and kitchens on the nortern noisy side. In the direction of quiet southern gardens it opens all living areas and bedrooms through vast glazing. The layout of solitaire apartment houses takes advantage of accessibility of all four facades, which brings experience of living in such apartment closer to the one of living in an individual family house.

Nomination, Best 10 Student projects in 2009 at Faculty of Architecture CTU Prague “We cannot but reckon purely classic scheme of a long block of flats oposing individual apartment houses. The project connects sensibly to the existing scale, yet it creates a strong complex of buildings. In consistency with the urban scheme facades are classicaly structured with window openings and together with the proposed material, brickwork, it is taken to perfection of Czech austerity.� the Jury
