Savarin will cost 10 billion. The architect was inspired by the Prague galleries
“We will start with the reconstruction of the historic Savarin Palace. The whole project should be completely completed in 2022, “revealed a recent term by Crestyl CEO Omar Koleilat. Construction in the courtyard between Wenceslas Square and Na Příkopě, Jindřišská and Panská streets has been under preparation for ten years. After the project was bought four years ago by Crestyl from the lowland company Ballymore, it took on a more moderate look. Above all, the idea of glass roofing of open areas came about and the current developer withdrew from the demolition of historic riding stables.

The current design of the Heatherwick studio, on the other hand, makes the riding hall the focal point of the complex, combining historic buildings with modern new buildings. “We want a valuable world-class architecture. We expect the renovation of all protected historic buildings and the introduction of life into the courtyard, “Koleilat emphasized.
Direct entrance to the subway
Heatherwick presented an effort to make more space around the riding hall, where a green promenade should be created: “The surrounding new buildings will then offer residential terraces and public roof gardens.”
The original riding school in the “new coat” should get not only one floor in the interior, but also two underground floors. So far, the developer speaks of it as a multifunctional space for organizing various events and refuses to have a shopping gallery. In another building from Panská Street, a modern market with the entry of not only culinary experiences is to be created. It is operated by the British chain Time Out Market. The new complex will also have direct access to the metro.
In addition to relaxation gardens and promenades, the whole complex counts on commercial use, ie mainly offices and shops. The idea of some representatives of Prague 1 to create flats here also failed. “The project did not take them into account from the beginning,” said Koleilat. With the town hall of Prague 1, he is now dealing with the entrance to the complex. , what the city district refused After the ramps from Wenceslas Square, the entrances from Panská, Jindřišská or from the side streets of V Cípa come into play.
