Žižkov Sports Hall

Žižkov is expecting a significant increase in population, which brings a growing need for new public amenities. In my design for the sports hall, I therefore combine sports facilities with retail – on the ground floor of the building, I propose a larger grocery store that will improve access to services in an area that already lacks sufficient shopping options. The hall replaces the front building of the freight railway station and, due to its volume, also serves as an acoustic barrier – similar to the original structure, it separates the NNŽ inner block from the busy intersection of Olšanská and Jana Želivského streets.
