Study of Urban Area of Bezdědice and Radouš Municipalities

Study of Urban Area of Bezdědice and Radouš Municipalities 2017

The aim of this work is to design the reconstruction of the village squares of Bezdědice and Radouš. We design the overall concept as well as the small detail. We propose instructions on how to gradually work with municipal spaces.

Bezdědice is a village that is largely adjacent to the village square, there are only a few streets which aren’t connected to the square. A modern one, a plot with a playground and an old school. The village square is multi-layered and at first sight disorganized. Pond, church, many trees, stream, space behind the church.

We propose to make the village square clearer in the open part around the pond and the playground. We suggest adding one path along the south side of the village square and removing another. The new path will make the houses along it accessible, the removal of the other path will make it possible to connect two separate green islands into one with a larger playground and a free area, which is now actually missing on the square. We adjust the space in front of the church into the shape of an entrance to the church. You can sit here on benches and park comfortably.

Radouš is a village with a beautiful village square, small alleys, a hidden stream, a railway station and an unpleasant turn on a 1st class road. The proposal underlines and makes accessible the qualities that the municipality has and suppresses the negatives represented mainly by the 1st class road.

Mnichovo Hradiště Bus Station

Mnichovo Hradiště Bus Station 2017

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.

Public Spaces Vimperk – 1. máje and Pivovarská Streets

Public Spaces Vimperk – 1. máje and Pivovarská Streets 2017

The area in question, 1. máje street and Pivovarská street, can be called the backbone of the town of Vimperk. It forms an essential axis in the east – west direction. It leads from the periphery gradually to the historic center. Several important streets open into the axis, which divide it into tracts and create small squares at the intersections.

The importance of this axis is confirmed by the location of educational, cultural, administrative, commercial and sports institutions. In the historic, more densely built-up part is a lively commercial parterre.

Currently, most public spaces are usurped by car transport. Staying and walking is unpleasant and sometimes even dangerous for pedestrians. Not only the large number of parking spaces, but especially their unsuitable organization causes a feeling of chaotic arrangement and intensifies the inconvenience of walking.

The design changes this situation, preferring pedestrians to motorists. It adjusts the widths of sidewalks, streets, intersections, and populates the streets with rows of trees, new public lighting and urban furniture.

The territorial study for the entire area was prepared in 2017. In 2020, the implementation of the 1st stage was started – 1. máje street.

Restoration of the Historical Part of Děčín – Podmokly 2013

Restoration of the Historical Part of Děčín – Podmokly 2013 2013

This is a proposal for the renovation of all public spaces in the Podmokly district in Děčín. The overall concept of the transport solution, the arrangement of the streets, the square, the solution of the new planting is implemented in stages.

In most streets of Podmokly is proposed 30 km/h zone, two-way traffic, give way to the right rule. Street crossings are elevated to facilitate movement of pedestrians. The proposal defines the use of individual squares and applies this to their design.

Overall, the proposal seeks to define a quality “standard” of public space solutions that is not overwhelmed by “creative ideas”. All the sophistication is hidden in the details and in the seemingly hidden solutions. The benches are extra long. Street lighting shafts unusually thin. Tree alleys underline the axial arrangement of the Cartesian grid.

After winning the competition, a territorial study was completed for the entire area, and now the individual stages of the plan are gradually being processed and implemented.

Swimming pool

Swimming pool 2015

We are presenting the design of a new swimming pool in the suburbs Václavské předměstí  as a response to a double assignment. The demand for a new rational and economical construction of the city’s indoor swimming pool with an outdoor area and the solution for the space in front of football fields, adjacent to the track and the E49 road.

It is a solid and generous building with a pair of indoor pools, which is open south to the meadow and outdoor pool. The pool has a large sign – a logo that draws attention to the pool passengers passing along the nearby 1st class street. The pool is located outside the floodplain.
