Annotation
Attention is focused on the centre od Cesky Krumlov. On the city land, an apartment building is created for low-income residents –seniors and young families. It strengthens the importance of the city centre as a housing estate, not as a tourist attraction.
Jury evaluation
The winning project touches the topic of low-cost rental housing in a city that has fallen victim to mass tourism and whose authenticity disappears und the heels of the evening promenade. While the life of an ordinary inhabitant disappeared under the cloud of ‘Trdelnik’ cloud, Cesky Krumlov became uninhabitable. The project of joint housing of the elderly and young families returns the city to its inhabitants and offers an interesting alternative to affordable housing across generations.
