P7B

The aim of the competition was to find the best architectural design for urban hybrid housing that allows a social and generational mix, including the possibility of accommodating people with disabilities. The subject of the competition was the design of a mixed-use house in Za Papírnou Street. As a public procurer and investor, the City takes care to design buildings with a view to long-term sustainability and to spend funds sparingly throughout the life cycle of the construction. The design will emphasize minimal energy consumption both during construction and the life of the building. In view of the increasing requirements for energy performance of buildings, urban housing buildings need to comply with the requirements for near-zero energy buildings
