SO-HO Holešovice

Living in a neighbourhood with a cosmopolitan character

SO-HO Residence Living in a neighbourhood with a cosmopolitan character The SO-HO Residence project in Prague's Holešovice district brings modern architecture with a nod to its industrial past to this popular urban area. Inspired by the atmosphere of New York's So-Ho, it offers community-oriented living and a vibrant street life typical of the unconventional Holešovice district. The revitalization of this brownfield site, combined with new construction, creates an attractive public space in the form of an urban tree-lined avenue and a green, semi-private courtyard. We developed the project's design in collaboration with the Qarta Architektura studio team to sensitively build upon the existing urbanism of the location. The project is located in the southern part of Holešovice, as the name SO-HO or SOuth of HOlešovice suggests, and will bring a total of 550 apartments and almost 4,000 m2 of retail space.

Accessibility and lively outdoor areas of buildings are considered standard in a functioning city
