3 houses and the gap
Studio Chalupa & Holubcová
The project addresses infilling the gap between the old and new parts of the city
center in Prague on Na Perštýně street, aiming to connect these two city sections.
The design includes three buildings: two main structures facing the street, with the
smaller one connecting to the old town and the larger one responding to the new city,
maintaining a gap between them to highlight the transition. The third building,
situated in the inner courtyard, is linked to the second one by a wooden walkway, a
traditional element of Prague's architecture. All three buildings share a common
courtyard, and the design maximizes the challenging plot shape while naturally
complementing the surrounding architecture.
