Downside – UP: A Layer of Calm in the Urban Noise

Beneath the Nusle Bridge emerges a space that connects Folimanka Park with Vyšehrad—a green bridge inviting movement, pause, and rest. Hidden below the surface is a wellness center with a pool, easily accessible from the nearest transit stop. Skylights bring natural light underground and link it to the outside. A café at the end of the axis acts as the final point of the composition, with a rooftop-tribune offering views of the plaza and the bridge’s monumentality. An adjacent atrium creates a natural dialogue between the interior and exterior worlds.
