Apartment house OSTRAVA!!!

Bc. Eliška Witová

Annotation

It is an apartment building in the newly growing center of Ostrava. The most distinctive element of the building is the monumental cylinder, where is a spiral staircase through the whole house. My inspiration was the industry halls of Ostrava, which were reflected in the cylinder and the brick facade with aluminum windows in a modern form. I lightly refer to the industrial past and present of the city. One of the goals was to divide the space into a private part for tenants and a part for the public. The ground floor to the street serves as a leasable area with an arcade space, used as a café or similar funkcion, which will bring life to the street. The side to the river is intended purely for tenants and is used as a garden.
