Gymnasium Žižkov

Where train cars once rumbled and rust whispered stories of abandoned tracks, a school has risen – a grammar school rooted in the heart of Žižkov’s transformed freight yard. Its silhouette is austere, cold – as if still part of the industrial world. From the outside, it seems distant, like a silent observer. But inside, it surprises with calm and light. The space is simple, clean, functional – yet human. Above it all, high over the old tracks, stands the sports hall – an airy platform above the city, open to movement, effort, energy. It’s not just for performance, but for release, balance, and testing limits. A school that grows from the past, but belongs to the future. Harsh on the outside, welcoming within. Not a place to wait for departure – but where the journey begins.
