MYSLBEK PASSAGE

Client AEW, Czechia
Location Prague 1, CZ
Scale 1500 m2
Completion 2017

Our proposal is about capturing a moment of discovering art engaging space, exciting imagination and leaving a lasting memory.

In the context of a fabulous location in Prague, and a passage named after a famous sculptor, our strategy focused on the transformation of Myslbek into a unique atmosphere – a prestigious, transitional urban retail space – a passage full of energy, meaning, art and mystery.

Myslbek Shopping Gallery started as an international design competition, won by CMCARCHITECTS, which later then entailed the complete reconstruction of an existing, twenty year old passage losing foot traffic with fading visual qualities.

The ‘VORTEX’, was a collaboration with glass artist Maxim Velcovsky (LASVIT), which represents not only the fine craft of Czech Glass art, but as well expresses the axial asymmetry of the 80 meter long passage in the historical center of Prague.
