Bytový dom J.K.Tyla

The new residential building is designed pragmatically at all scales, from urban planning to interior design. The aim of the proposal was to create a rational structure that offers its future tenants high-quality urban housing with appropriate amenities.

Urbanism
The building completes and closes the structure of the panel apartment blocks on Havlíčkova Street with an equally scaled block, situated in the southern corner of the designated area, while minimizing its impact on the surrounding development. Its placement allows views from the upper floors towards the Hostýn and Vsetín Hills to the southwest, and towards the panorama of Valašské Meziříčí to the northeast. The location also enables the creation of a city park that encloses the green courtyard with a high-quality public space.

Ecological Concept
The apartment building is a compact five-story structure with one underground level, which minimizes the built-up area and optimizes land use. The compact volume helps reduce energy losses and lowers the building’s carbon footprint. Heating and cooling are provided by a heat pump, increasing the building’s energy efficiency.

Park
In connection with the courtyard greenery, a city park is proposed, offering high-quality outdoor spaces for both the building’s tenants and nearby residents. The park is designed to naturally follow the existing terrain and smoothly transition into a community square in front of the new building. The park is vertically divided into terraces, allowing for barrier-free access and offering a variety of activities — from exercise on workout equipment to relaxation (benches). The terraces are connected by ramps and staircases, ensuring vertical integration of the entire public space. In front of the building, a square with a café will be created, which, together with the active ground floor of the building, will provide an attractive venue for community events.
