Savarin
Heatherwick Studio has unveiled designs for the regeneration of an important site in the heart of historic Prague. The 15,000 sq m site is being redeveloped for Crestyl and will be a mix of retail and office space set within public gardens. It is the first project the studio has worked on in the Czech Republic. The Savarin site is bounded by four of the main streets in Prague – Wenceslas Square, Na Prikope, Panska and Jindrisska. The development will tie together a number of heritage buildings by creating organic connections through the site and with the surrounding district. The scheme restores public access to the Riding Hall and surrounding gardens and is further enlivened with new areas of public space not only at ground level but through a series of terraces leading up to the roof levels. In addition, the design will create underground levels with direct access from Wenceslas Square and the metro station to the Riding Hall, which will become the central heart of the site. As well as bringing significant new quantities of public realm to the site, there will be new architecture within the courtyard.
