New health center Čeřovka
🏆 Congratulations to the winner M47 office — and here's how the jury evaluated this project! 👇
Urban Planning and Traffic Solutions
The new health center is a single compact structure in a natural and confident position at the rear of the site. Its V-shaped form responds to Úzká Street and the historic Čeřovka building, creating a clearly structured complex with a landscaped courtyard. The open forecourt leaves no doubt this is a public institution, though a more distinctive sign is missing. The façade facing Úzká Street is perceived as a boundary, and the landscaping toward Úzká Street is considered insufficiently justified. The traffic solution is viewed positively, clearly separating cars from pedestrians with a dispersed and unobtrusive layout. The jury recommends increasing the number of parking spaces on the site and alleviating parking pressure on Potoční Street.
Architectural Design
The architectural concept for both buildings is confident and natural. The jury positively evaluates the visual connection between the two structures, the sensitive renovation of the historic Čeřovka building, the minimalist layout with logical distribution of functions, and the connection between interior and exterior. The jury recommends examining apartment options within a typical floor of the Čeřovka building. The accessible green roofs add value and enhance the appeal of the space.
Technical Solution, Sustainability, Economics
The new building features a standard monolithic reinforced concrete structure. Flat green roofs require emphasis on high-quality construction. Technical facilities are logically placed in the basement, with efficient vertical and horizontal circulation. The use of hollow-core slabs is positively evaluated for allowing future adaptation of the building's use.
