MIRAGE

Palackého náměstí, located in the busy center of Prague, is defined on two sides by buildings and on one side by a river. The problem occurs at the last side, where the clear shape of the square disappears and flows into Zítkovy sady. The task was to define the square on the fourth side and leave the park on the site of Zítkovy sady. Mirage does so with a two-level mass that defines the square and provides a quiet green area. On the 5th floor, in addition to the swimming pool and a small fitness room, there are two terraces that offer residents a unique view. The park consists of four green islands and a water area and functions as an oasis of calm in an urban environment. The façade is made of aluminum panels, which reflect the greenery and thus give the feeling of more space for nature.
