New Žižkov is planned to be built to the east of Želivského Street – partially on the site of a freight depot. The proposed centre of this new district is planned at the intersection of Želivského and Olšanská Streets and the focus of the site development will be at the north-west quadrant. The area has a mixture of uses, including a range of industry. The south corner of this quadrant borders the Olšany Cemetery which follows a series of neighbouring buildings to the west, and a strip of vegetation and leisure amenities along the northern boundary near the church of St. Rochus.
Our design stems from the “tension” and contrast of the surrounding green area, street profiles and buildings of Žižkov Freight Railway Station. The nature of the centre represents the balance between the “stone” face of the city and natural environment. Four interconnected vertical forms complement the horizontal principles of the surrounding buildings. They are surrounded by varied landscaping and large areas of water, which extends to the edge of the buildings. The landscaping proposals are designed with leisure and sustainability in mind, with rainwater retention an important consideration. A range of amenities combined with much needed public space go hand in hand and will offer inhabitants of upper Žižkov space for leisure and relaxation and an improved quality of life in the city.
I am the registered architect and university teacher, the working architect lacking theory who thus (occasionally) creates it (on his own); the principal, conceptual architect, visionary, philosophy and sociology adept and planner. I am interested not only in buildings and interiors but also in complex development of localities and settlements, public area and always holistic approach. With thirty years of experience, I am the partner to rely on in any type of project. I am occasional yachter, skier, snowboarder, biker and kick-boxer and a father of four children.I am the registered architect and university teacher, the working architect lacking theory who thus (occasionally) creates it (on his own); the principal, conceptual architect, visionary, philosophy and sociology adept and planner.

I have worked for the studio for many years at various positions from a new entrant to the head architect. I manage projects from construction design to project implementation documentation. I like having a break from administrative issues related to job orders and designing and I create CG graphics and architectural visualization. I cooperated with my colleagues on creation of the master plan of the South Port in Helsinki, the New Landhauska Apartment Building, New Žižkov Centre, U Milosrdných Apartment Building and many other projects.
I started to work for the studio in 2015, completely unaware of architectural practice. From “flower-watering” girl I have moved up to the position of the architect and designer. Together with my colleagues I have created the design of the New Landhauska Apartment Building and I also contributed to the design of New Žižkov Centre.
