A Town Hall is a declaration – a sign of self-government’s approach to citizens, to the town, to the economy.

Inspired by the current state, we propose a new town hall at the head of the elongated K. V. Raise square. The building, which is not adjacent to the surrounding buildings, which is offset from it, a building that looks lofty on all sides and closes each of the individual public spaces.

The town hall has three floors. On the ground floor are located two of the three halls, a registry office and an information center. On the other two floors are located the offices of the town hall. The city management is located on the first floor.
The ground floor spaces can be interconnected in various ways, according to the individual needs of every event, including the possibility of connecting the large hall with the small square next to the town hall. The upper floors are connected by an atrium.

The chosen scheme is neatly organized. It does not separate individual workplaces and promotes the impression of teamwork. At the same time, it offers appropriate spaces for citizens who are waiting, filling documents, preparing for meetings in the atrium area.
The aesthetics of the town hall are formed by a thin line between civically comprehensible friendliness and a dignified representation of the town’s power.

New construction of a clubhouse building with sports facilities and three playgrounds (five-a-side football, football tennis and a children’s playground) and parking spaces. There are currently two village playgrounds in this area. The designed building has a simple rectangular shape. The appearance of the building refers to small sports village buildings (wooden football stands, swimming pools, etc.). The building is lined on the south side with a portico, which creates shading for a long bench – a simple sports tribune. On the west side of the portico, it transforms to a covered terrace with an outdoor grill, into which the common room of the clubhouse opens.

The house is designed as a columned wooden building with a facade of horizontally laid planks. These will be whitewashed and, together with the azure windows, doors and tops of the sloping columns, will indicate the subtly nostalgic character of the house.

Liberec – the collage of a traditional city, industrial heritage and an unfinished modernist utopia of towers in the countryside. The city is currently without a unifying vision that would take into account the already existing and that would aim at the synergistic development. With this regards, we design a park, waterfront and a square, which are able to physically and meaningfully connect the various facets of the city and create a pleasant environment for employees, visitors to the office and citizens of Liberec.

Urban study of the location in the city center, which was created by the post-war demolition of most of the houses in the block. The proposed solution for the use of this area supports the life of the city center and heals scars from the war.

In order to find the right answer to this assignment, it is essential to answer the questions of what a lively city center actually is and by what means its liveliness can be achieved.

We consider a lively city to be full of people in houses, shops, in the public space of squares, streets, parks. A lively city is a place where the life of its inhabitants is present both day and night. The daily bustle followed by the quiet of the night, disturbed by the singing of regulars returning home here and there. It is not a lively city if you do not meet a living thing, nor if the city lives and pulsates during the day and then dies at night by emptiness and the absence of people.

In addition, a vibrant city center must have a strong enough centripetal force to attract people from its surroundings and, in the case of Opava, also from the region.

By what means can this be achieved, when the current experience of many cities is just the opposite, when shopping centers along their outskirts are causing the depopulation of the city centers and the quality of living in the center is not able to compete with the living in houses outside the city?
In our opinion, the solution must offer a reason to go to the city center, it must offer housing that is comparable to living in your own house and it must use the quality of the historic city center and the place itself. All of this needs to be put together as the answer to the conflicting wishes emerged from the surveys and interviews we have conducted.

We present a design that meets most of these wishes and combines them in the right way, so that a lively whole is created as a result.

On the one hand, we complete the block in its original outline with variation of different town houses. We then create a market in the courtyard and leave part of the existing park. The town houses facing the square and the market have a commercial parterre. The market can also serve as a city cultural hall, where it is possible to organize various types of cultural events.

The basic principle of this Jiráskovo náměstí square and the monastery garden reconstruction is a clear definition of individual spaces, clear arrangement and a good orientation in space and initiation of events. Unambiguous and uncomplicated transport solutions and an adequate use of water. We are widening sidewalks and narrowing the roads. We affirm the space in front of the monastery as a park square with the possibility of various forms of rest. We preserve its memory in the form of horse chestnuts. We change the bus turntable into a quiet park. We transformed the area in front of the school to a garden. We leave the monastery garden with its intimacy and secrecy.
