„THE WAY UP“
The design of a new primary school in Holešovice offers a pleasant environment for pupils, parents, teachers and other staff. The proposed spaces are not only for the education of the pupils, but also to inspire and encourage creativity. A great emphasis is placed on children's activities outside their own education, where they learn mainly social skills. The spaces outside the classrooms offer a very wide range of public, semi-public and intimate places, both indoors and outdoors. The building is deliberately as low and horizontal as possible and has a calm and solid feel. There are open exterior areas at opposite corners of the building. The southeast open corner at the corner of Jankovcova and Přádelní Street welcomes pupils with "open arms". A generous vertical circulation "way up" winds through the entire building with the character of a theatre space with galleries. It is the main landmark of the building.

Beurteilung durch das Preisgericht
In this proposal, the jury appreciates the authors’ decision to create a new “square” for their neighborhood - there is an easily accessible piazzetta in front of the building. This school is designed as a hub for the community. However, the southern edge of the piazzetta, used for administration offices, is worthy of reworking in this regard. The staircase as the core of the building is well conceived in the opinion of the jury and could actually work. However, it does create some disadvantages, such as too small common areas. The structure is a very simple and inexpensive solution. However, in the opinion of the jury, the layout is more of a corridor system than a cluster system, which only uses the cloakroom bays. The window leading from the atrium to the west presents certain complications, one of which is the difficulty of accessing the roof.
