Vision Kladno

Vision Kladno once again brings together key urban functions in one place. In collaboration with architects, it will shape a natural ecosystem of business, production, and rental housing.

The site on Libušina Street in Kladno presents a unique opportunity to transform a large brownfield with a rich industrial heritage into a modern, vibrant, and sustainable urban district. The goal of the competition is to create an iconic project — a new urban landmark that harmoniously integrates work, living, and community life. Thanks to its location near Prague and the planned rail connection to Václav Havel Airport, the area holds exceptional development potential. The architectural and urban design should provide a thoughtful framework for future implementation — balancing functionality, aesthetics, and flexibility to allow the district to adapt to evolving needs. The vision is to create a multifunctional environment offering high-quality rental housing, spaces for production and entrepreneurship, community infrastructure, and public services. The project is founded on respect for local heritage, a strong focus on sustainability, and openness to contemporary, ambitious architecture.

Two teams were directly invited, and three teams were selected by the jury based on an open call that attracted 54 applicants. The resulting group of five competitors:

• ADEPT + OHBOI
• Benthem Crouwel Architects + ov architekti + Felixx Landscape Architects
• BRUTHER + atelier gram + Openfabric
• COBE + monom
• MVRDV + Ateliér ra15
  Together with the selection of the contestants, the schedule of the competition was changed. Updated version is here on the web.
