Spartakovská Residential Complex, Trnava, Slovakia

The proposal works with the idea of a clearly defined city block with a new street line. Yet, the form of the new block does not create an enclosed courtyard exclusively for its residents. Its natural permeability between volumes allows pedestrian paths to pass through the new neighborhood and invites its residents, neighbors and passerby to explore the green central-park. All buildings are slightly shifted compared to one another in terms of mass and height. This ensures a friendly-human scale of the new neighborhood. As a result of the diverse assortment of the houses, the street acquires another public layer in the form of extensions and alleys.
