Benthem Crouwel Architects被宣布为布拉格新住宅区设计竞赛的获胜者，该竞赛与当地公司RA15合作举办。该竞赛由 Penta Real Estate 组织，从 160 个参赛作品中筛选出 44 个，然后有 5 个进入决赛。评委会一致赞扬了 Benthem Crouwel 将大型公共公园融入该项目的决定。
Benthem Crouwel Architects has been announced as the winner of a competition to design a new residential district in Prague, presented in collaboration with local firm RA15. The competition, organized by Penta Real Estate, saw 160 entries distilled down to 44, and then 5 finalists. In a unanimous verdict, the jury praised Benthem Crouwel’s decision to integrate a large, publically-accessible park into the project.
这座新住宅综合体位于 布拉格的纳德拉日·日日科夫区，坐落在一座废弃的货运站和一片更加都市化、充满活力的城市景观之间。该设计在功能性、人性化和与自然的接触之间取得了平衡，公寓楼位于地块边缘，内部可以形成了一个大型开放式中央公园。
The new residential complex is located in the Nádraží Žižkov area of Prague, situated between a former freight station with abandoned train tracks and a more urban, lively city landscape. The design strikes a balance between functionality, a human scale, and contact with nature, with the placement of apartment buildings at the edge of the plot creating a large open central park.
公园周围环绕着两栋大型弧形公寓大楼，共有 450 套住宅。公园向居民和当地人开放，是人们交流、放松和享受户外乐趣的公共空间，同时也为当地物种和植物提供了可以茁壮成长的生物多样性环境。
The park is embraced by two large, curved apartment complexes, with a combined 450 dwellings. The park is open to residents and locals, serving as a communal space for people to connect, relax, and enjoy the outdoors, while also offering a biodiverse environment where local species and plants can thrive.
以模块化单元的移动和堆叠的建筑理念创造了视觉上有趣的立面景观，并且充分利用了日光和景观。模块化系统和重复设计将较大的建筑分割成人性化尺度，元素以各种比例的动态体积呈现。从最高立面的标志性城市尺度到小商店的个性化、活跃氛围，该建筑群是众多统一面貌之一。
The architectural concept of shifting and stacking modular units creates a visually-interesting landscape of facades which make optimal use of daylight and aspect. The modular system and repetitive designs fragment the larger building into a human scale, with elements experienced as dynamic volumes with a variety of proportions. From the landmark urban scale of the highest façade to the personal, lively atmosphere of small shops, the complex is one of many united faces.
模块化效率和简单的设计原则允许创建不同大小的公寓，以容纳不同类型的居民。用建筑师的话来说，该计划「为居民提供了城市和自然的最佳结合：功能齐全的公寓，可充分利用城市设施，社区内私密性强，家门口就有郁郁葱葱、宜人的绿色公园。」
The modular efficiency and straightforward design principles allow for the creation of a verity of apartments in different sizes, accommodating a diverse set of residents. In the words of the architects, the scheme 「offers its residents the best of both city and nature: highly functional apartments with optimal access to urban amenities, privacy within a community, and a lush, welcoming green park right at their doorstep.」
