COMMUNITY YARD ŠTĚPÁNSKÁ

Annotation

The proposal responds to the specific context of a Prague courtyard in the close structure of the wider city of Prague. The site, which was originally enclosed and spatially unused, is transformed into a semi-open and functionally layered urban courtyard that becomes the core of a new community house. The building's volumetric composition relates to the existing house located there, while transforming the ground floor into a public café space. Towards the courtyard the courtyard, the mass of the building loosens, recedes and opens up the space towards the public. The courtyard becomes a semi-public community space that offers children's play elements, living areas and greenery.
