00538 (XL) LANDIA

The new development on the northwestern outskirts of the Prague – Lysolaje municipal district was created in mutual symbiosis of the public and private sectors (municipality and developer). The project’s objective was to create a new municipal centre and to supplement the missing public amenities for which there was no room in the existing development. The site has the shape of a natural amphitheatre and is connected by road to the existing street network in four places.

The assignment for the Landia development consisted in creating contemporary housing where even with relatively small plots of land, the greatest possible intimacy of outdoor living areas would be maintained while allowing beautiful views of Hradčany and the city skyline.

For the most part, the buildings line the verge of the area and are mainly detached houses of various categories and typologies. The northeastern part, between Štěpnice and U Libosadu streets, consists of twenty villas of two types (terraced and detached). K Housličkám Street is flanked to the north by eight atrium houses and to the south by twelve terraced houses. The south side of the Horní Square is formed by a single-storey apartment building with basement parking. The western and southern parts of the area are, or will be in the future, occupied by individually designed buildings, often following the original design.
