CENTRAL GROUP is the biggest residential developer and new residential projects investor in the Czech Republic. In its almost 25 years long history the company has successfully completed 155 residential areas and sold more than 14,000 new flats, houses and plots of land.
The objective of the competition is an architectural proposal of a residential area called NEW ŽIŽKOV CENTRE, and its surroundings. It is a private investment by CENTRAL GROUP and is not subject to public procurement mode. The site is 39,471 m². Buildings can only be designed on the space of 24,803 m2 defined in the land use plan.
The aim is to design new residential buildings of approximately 106,000 m2 of gross floor area (GFA) which roughly corresponds with the volume of existing development on the plot. The investor perceives utmost use of the GFA as optimal.
Contestants are required to propose two versions: One should respect the limiting height of present structures, i.e. 78 m (“Lower Version”), the other can include structures higher than 78 m (“Higher Version”). The Higher Version should consist of high-rise buildings of unique architecture in the form of more volumes comprising a complex, rather than a soliaire building
