A total of 84 architectural studios from both the Czech Republic and abroad have entered the competition for the design of a house located at the end of Revoluční street in Prague, opposite the Merkur Palace. The jury has selected six architectural studios from among the applicants, and their representatives, after visiting the site, started work on their designs.

The jurors selected the following studios to develop their design proposal: Sou Fujimoto Atelier Paris; Petr Hájek Architekti; Ivan Kroupa Architekti; in collaboration Studio Muoto from Paris and PEER from Brno; a Dutch consortium comprising NL Architects, Shift Architecture Urbanism, and DS Landschapsarchitecten; and Tham & Videgård Arkitekter from Sweden.

We are looking for an author team of a high-quality, bold and confident house that will fit perfectly into its surroundings and that will bring something new and beneficial to Prague. The site is a specific combination of Prague‘s veduta, proximity to the river, natural entrance to city‘s center, and architectural richness. A very small plot requires a thoughtful solution of a corner house and a house levitating above the adjacent yard.

The subject of the competition is the design of two houses with apartments and a shop at the intersection of Lannova - Revoluční, in one of the most challenging locations in the centre of Prague.
