The residential complex consists of five apartment villas with 58 apartments ranging between 60 and 185 m2, a club house and three separate family villas. The complex includes a garden. There is a total of 74 underground parking places.
The motif of an "edge" clearly characterizes the place in terms of morphology, urbanism, vegetation and atmosphere. It culminates on the edge of the Strahov plain on which the individual houses "balance". The design concept employs minimalistic expression and scale manipulation. The objective is to give the users the option for individual identification. The houses represent simple cubes into which the apartment units, fitted into bay windows, are inserted. The transversal lay-out offers views of both the garden in the north, and the panorama of Prague in the south. The large-span monolithic load-bearing system is used for maximum flexibility.
The family villas are concentrated in the east corner of the plot, in close proximity of the Kinsky Garden. Wooden cubes levitate at a distance formed by the living room above a stone base housing technical facilities. The individual volumes of the composition are defined by the materials used. The color scheme is governed by the rational concept and effort at natural appearance of materials - grey plaster, glass of transparency and color tint, gabion constructions (natural stone in wire baskets), wood, fair-face concrete, barn-floor surface, graphite black galvanized steel.
The entire concept included the landscape development- The orchard of the Kinsky Garden penetrates the northern park through gaps between the houses. The northern park serves as a natural filter between the apartment villas and the street. The preserved vegetation mingles with trimmed sycamore and apple trees.
