Klín Vltavy

Zdenek Jiran

Project idea

A wedge-shaped building situated on the banks of the Vltava river in Prague, integrating with the riverfront landscape through its distinctive angular form that appears to emerge from the terrain.

Project description

The project proposes a compact architectural intervention along the Vltava river in Prague. The building features a striking dark-clad wedge form with an ascending staircase integrated into its exterior, creating a publicly accessible rooftop that connects to the surrounding landscape. The structure is embedded into the riverbank, with its angular geometry responding to the water's edge. The floor plan reveals interior spaces organized within the wedge footprint, surrounded by existing trees. The design includes glazed openings facing the river, allowing views and natural light into the interior spaces.
