PRAGUE, ANTALA STASKA : 1300 DWELLINGS
TCHEQUE REPUBLIC

1995

PRAGUE 4


Initial context


before demolition

The district of Antala Staska is situated near to the center of the city, and composed of more than thirty buildings of five floors, built from heavy prefabricated systems. Most of the buildings were privatized recently by the sale to their residents. The latter do not have the means to take on the modernizing renovation that is necessary.

 
     

Our aims

To finance the upgrading of these buildings and respond to a strong demand for small dwellings for young couples, we have planned to construct new dwellings by elevating the buildings. The sale of construction rights of these dwellings to private real estate agencies, has to supply a great part of the necessary resources to a great part to the upgrading of the existing buildings.

 
   
Project    

We showed that from an urban study, that it was possible to construct two levels, on each of the buildings, comprising ten to fifteen new dwellings. These two extra levels will be based on a light construction system that is particularly effective and economical, allowing additional dwellings installed with balconies and terraces accompanied with pergolas.
