Proposal for the location of several important municipal buildings – primary school, municipal office, fire station, federal premises and collection yard with technical services, including modifications to selected public spaces.

We performed a revision of the designated location of the construction program. We verified its spatial requirements, connections and context, even in relation to the expected development of the village.

We propose the appropriate location and premises for individual parts of the program. A clear arrangement of public spaces and a clear layout of new buildings is important to us.

We are placing the municipal office in the area of the current Technical Center of the municipality, which together with the Fire station, the federal premises will become the new Administrative and Social Center of the municipality. In this way we respond to the planned development of the village to the southwest.

We place the technical and collection yard near the wastewater treatment plant. The elementary school logically gets the entire original campus, including the garden.

New-build bus terminal near the train station. It is a terminal with a two-way entry and an exit for buses. Five platforms in a row adjoin the railway station by the edge of the boarding platform.

The paved pre-station area is lined on the south by the station building, on the west by a wall with benches and a Bike+Ride area, on the northwest a park at Jana Švermy street leads to it, on the northeast is a restaurant with a corner bay window and on the east an allée. In this allée we keep the maximum of mature trees and supplement them with new plantings. The allée separates the terminal from the villas in Dvořákova street and provides shade for parked buses and cars.

It is important for us to perceive the main direction of walking when getting off the train or bus, i.e. Jana Švermy street with the adjacent park towards the cinema and further to the square, which co-creates the impression of the bus station. From the south-eastern corner, a pedestrian path from Harantova street leads to the area, complementing the third green axis, which opens into this area.

The design also includes covered waiting rooms, which in their form refer to the historical tubular urban furniture of the 1950s.

The proposal for the renovation of the perimeter cladding of the URAN administration building follows in principle on its original solution. It does not change the small scale of the composite parts of the cladding, it maintains the same ratio between the glazed and solid parts of the facade, it keeps the same proportions of windows and a significant horizontal division of the facade. The design also follows the original tectonic composition system. However, thanks to a different facade cladding material, the overall impression created by the house changes significantly.

The facade is lined with galvanized sheet metal. The surface of the facade is divided by the shadows of cornices, by windows, but also by individual pieces of sheet metal, joints between them, the grid of anchorages. The surface of the galvanized parts flashes in the light, the reflections differ in each plate. The house reflects and changes the changing light of the surroundings.

At the same time, the facade solution works with different depths of detail corresponding to the distances from which the building can be seen. Significant horizontal division and URAN inscriptions are visible at a distant view when arriving from the city center on the street 1. máje, when passing the highway from Prague and Zittau. Details of the pillar cladding, the canopy above the entrance and the individual torx heads of the sheet metal mounting bolts are visible at the entrance to the vestibule.

The presented facade solution also raises questions that the current solution has overlooked. Among them, the emphasis on the entrance to the building and the peculiarity of creating a unique building from an indifferent 1970s office building. A building, which reacts to the specific situation.

This is a design of the residential complex of 500 flats in the vicinity of the KVP housing estate on the outskirts of Košice. Three lines are inserted into the sloping terrain of the area. Two lines of houses and one line of the street between them. The curves of the lines respond to the shape and morphology of the plot. The line of towers is adjacent to the tall high-rise blocks, the line of lower apartment buildings is adjacent to the park in the valley. The park square is located in the southern part of the design. The whole development culminates towards Moskevská třída, where the height of the towers reaches the height of the neighboring buildings. The line of towers leaves the possibility of vistas, the line of low houses leaves the possibility of passage.

The layout of houses offers a high quality of a wide range of apartments, the vast majority of which are oriented in two directions and all have a loggia.

Currently, the Education Center uses Suk Hall for its programs. However, this complicates the use of the hall, which is intended primarily for music production, places higher demands on the preparation of the hall and the transport of things needed for the events. At the same time, however, those who attend the program find themselves in the generous and beautiful premises of Rudolfinum. They enter the building by a representative staircase, meet in a large hall and spend most of their time in Suk Hall. This spatial and dramatic experience is an essential part of the participants experience.

We therefore consider it crucial to design the premises of the Education Center, so that they are able to compete as much as possible with the current experience that the participants of the program have.

We present a design that will make the Education Center an autonomous and distinctive part of the building with a clear operating scheme and spatial qualities that develop the dominant structure of the building.
