Prague to finalize agreement for residential development at Revoluční and Lannova

The Prague City Council has approved the wording of a memorandum with developer RSJ and the Prague 1 district regarding a planned residential building at the corner of Revoluční and Lannova streets. The agreement addresses the impact of the new construction on a neighboring heritage-protected baroque building owned by the city.

The development project, which will include a publicly accessible passage connecting Revoluční and Nové Mlýny streets, requires coordination with the city due to its proximity to municipal property. The baroque building currently serves as a facility for the municipal company Pražské služby, including offices and storage for winter road materials.

According to city councilor Adam Zábranský (Pirates), the memorandum aims to align the new construction with a planned revitalization of Revoluční Street. The agreement also outlines future arrangements for the baroque building, with two possible approaches: selling the property to the developer under specific conditions, or allowing the investor to use and maintain it long-term under a formal agreement.

The residential project is based on the winning design of a 2024 architectural competition, awarded to Paris-based Studio Muoto and Brno’s PEER collective. The new design replaces an earlier proposal by architect Eva Jiřičná, which faced opposition due to its plan to demolish a neo-Gothic structure. Following objections from the National Heritage Institute and heritage groups, the original design was withdrawn and replaced with the current competition-based process.

The memorandum must still be reviewed by Prague 1 before being finalized.
