Phase 2 of Hagibor development completed in Prague

The second phase of the Hagibor development in Prague, comprising the Delta and Gamma buildings, has been completed. Located on the border between the Vinohrady and Strašnice districts, the mixed-use project integrates residential, office, and retail spaces.

The overall masterplan, co-authored by IBA, envisions a new city quarter near Vinohradská Street, within a five-minute walk from the Želivského metro station. The first phase, including the Alfa and Beta residential buildings totaling nearly 15,000 square meters, was completed in mid-2022. The second phase, featuring the Delta and Gamma buildings, adds 27,000 square meters and 272 residential units with ground-floor retail space.

The architectural design of the new buildings follows the principles established in the first phase, with each structure maintaining a distinct yet complementary appearance. The Delta building continues the street frontage along Počernická Street, consisting of three main volumes above a two-story base. Continuous balconies define the facade, complemented by vertical fins for shading, privacy, and acoustic separation.

In contrast, the Gamma building, positioned further back, adopts a more expressive design. Its façade features angular balconies that provide each apartment with a unique outdoor space, contributing to a visually dynamic composition.

Public and private spaces have been designed to maintain continuity across the development. The landscaping concept, developed with French landscape designer Michelle Desvigne, incorporates a 'micro wood' approach, with dense clusters of mature trees and shrubs to enhance the environment and modify the microclimate.

The Hagibor development has received multiple awards, with the Gamma building recognized as Project of the Year in 2024. The project continues to evolve, with future phases set to maintain its architectural and environmental principles.
