The aim of the proposal is the revitalization of the apartment building courtyard in Nusle, Prague 4 neighbourhood, between Prague-Vršovice train station and the Bratří Synku square. The project points out the current topic of currently idle public spaces of Prague courtyards. The project aims to look for a possible solution of how to return life and natural elements to the urban environment.

​

The key idea of the project is a steel construction built in the courtyard and rising to the railway line. This element is aligned with the edge of the courtyard and will cover the community centre embedded in the northern hillside. Climbing plants growing from the large flower pot on the gallery and the landscape of the courtyard will create a “green pergola” that will imaginarily enclose the space of the yard. This will create a soft split from the publicly accessible gallery and shield the yard from the hectic railway both acoustically and visually.

​

Besides the proposal for the common courtyard, the project also proposes the following changes: addition of the courtyard tract (loggias and winter gardens) to the original apartment building, proposal for a community centre in the area of the courtyard, the advancement of the neighbouring streets, proposal of underground parking and lastly, the interconnection of the area and planned bicycle path running along the railway line.
