The old water tower complex Karlovy Vary
The project deals with the area of the former water plant in Karlovy Vary, where the historic filtration tanks with a distinctive vaulted structure are located. The vaults are not just a static element, but become an active part of the overall design. For example, in the proposed skatepark, the vaults create an ideal environment for this type of activity. This integration of a historical element into a modern design links the past with the present and creates a unique atmosphere for the site.
New features are inserted directly between and into the tank structures - creating zones for sport, relaxation and small social activities. The space is unified by a new pathway layer in the form of a metal grate footbridge, which connects the different parts, promotes visual clarity and ensures the natural movement of visitors. The result is a design that respects the history of the site while giving it a new, vibrant feel.
