This project in Prague’s Radlice district will consist of 177 low-energy apartments across three residential buildings, with one becoming the largest wooden residential building in the Czech Republic.
Located near natural monuments and green spaces, the development aims to foster a quiet living environment, complete with a courtyard and playground.
The single-phase project’s design prioritises sustainability, incorporating green infrastructure to achieve a substantially lower carbon footprint.
A preliminary analysis suggests that the wooden structure could halve the volume of concrete typically required and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to one-third compared to traditional building methods.
