Architect Daniel Libeskind<\/a> has revealed designs for the Sekyra Flowers\u00a0residential<\/a> complex in Prague<\/a>, which comprises four angular buildings surrounding a public square<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Designed for Czech real estate company Sekyra Group<\/a>, Libeskind’s\u00a0Sekyra Flowers housing<\/a> development will form the centre of a new neighbourhood in Prague named Rohan City.<\/p>\n

\"RenderDaniel Libeskind has unveiled the Sekyra Flowers housing complex<\/p>\n

Sekyra Flowers will contain around 500 apartments<\/a> across four differently shaped housing blocks, which will surround a central park and square.<\/p>\n

Expected to be completed in 2035, it will be the first project built in the Czech Republic<\/a> by Libeskind, who founded Studio Libeskind<\/a> in 1989.<\/p>\n

\"RenderMetallic tiles will cover the exterior of the buildings, including a library<\/p>\n

“Sekyra Flowers will be both an architectural contribution to Prague’s current renaissance and my personal tribute to this magical city,” said Libeskind.<\/p>\n

“Rising at the heart of the new Rohan City district, the towers represent one of the most ambitious and exciting urban projects I have ever designed. Their foundations are rooted in a deep ethical and philosophical commitment\u00a0 \u2013 the very essence of why I practice architecture,” Libeskind continued.<\/p>\n

“For me, it is not only about shaping buildings, but about creating a living environment that embodies openness, community and a forward-looking vision \u2013 values that have guided my work from the very beginning.”<\/p>\n

Studio Libeskind unveils mixed-use building with angular plant-covered facades in Paris\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

Situated near Prague’s historic Old Town and the Vltava River, the four buildings at Sekyra Flowers will have varying geometric forms clad in reflective, metallic tiles.<\/p>\n

Renders show staggered, angular rooflines, some of which will be topped with green roofs to “evoke the impression of blossoms opening in bloom”, according to Studio Libeskind<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"HousingShops and cafes will line the streets on the ground floors of the buildings<\/p>\n

Apartment sizes will vary from studio flats to penthouses with balconies, and the central public square will be populated with plants and water features.<\/p>\n

Restaurants, cafes, shops and recreational spaces will be located on the ground floors of the buildings, and the development will also include a library.<\/p>\n

Pedestrian paths, bike lanes and a nearby metro station will connect the neighbourhood with the wider city.<\/p>\n

\"RenderSekyra Flowers will include four housing blocks surrounding a central square<\/p>\n

“With respect for the surrounding urbanism, Sekyra Flowers will delineate, define and enliven the newly created square, or piazza, both as a place for civic and community life and as an environment representing reciprocity and continuity, or in other words, mutuality and the permanence of values,” said Sekyra Group chairman Lud\u011bk Sekyra.<\/p>\n

“This will be the heart of the new Rohan City district, which in my view is an intellectual urbanisation of space and proof that architecture can be normative, that it can be a symbol of the public good.”<\/p>\n

Other projects recently unveiled by Libeskind include plans for a mixed-use building in Paris<\/a> with geometric plant-covered facades and to add a glass observation deck to an art deco skyscraper<\/a> in Antwerp.<\/p>\n
