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.

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.

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.

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.
