Mixed-use building B10

Mixed-use building B10 is the final phase of a project Pri Mýte on Račianska street. Filling the gap within the current urban context, this building completes and defines Račianska street as a fully developed urban district. Architecturally and conceptually, it builds upon previous structures and fully explores the street’s potential. The architecture reflects the expression of a compact slab-like structure that visually connects to the existing residential complex. The design concept is based on alternating solid surfaces with glazed window openings. The southern facade facing the inner courtyard is complemented by continuous loggias. Irregularly spaced window openings on the facades add dynamism to the composition. A characteristic feature of the house is its recessed gable facades. The project places a strong focus on practical material solutions and expert workmanship. Object is divided into the two main vertical cores. If possible flats has two sides orientation. The facade design respects and continues the existing buildings of the Pri Mýte project. The project works a lot with the materials and structure. The goal was aimed to highlight the material essence of each material and present its elemental aesthetics. Large-format cladding is used on the ground floor, while the rest of the facade combines coarse-grained plaster with powder coated aluminium panels and elements. In the interiors, the material concept is based on subtle contrast and mutual complementation.
