Newly developed shopping centres at suburbs do not deal with their lot and landscape and do not create the city. Only independent solitary buildings interconnected one to another with no intent, enclosed by vacant parking spaces. No parterre, no communication with the street - street has shifted inside. Anonymous boxes are the result. Šestka design solves this problem from different point of view.

Šestka shopping centre is placed at suburbs of Prague, the capital of Czech Republic, beyond city circuit, next to the Ruzyně international airport areas. The locality, where development of city railway and other projects is supposed.

Šestka shopping centre concept clearly defines its place in the landscape. Parking is placed in the shape of the building, mainly on the roof, partly inside the building. Mould excavated during construction is used for embracing the sides of the building and formation of embankments. Such embankments are used for ramps to the roof. They create two side facades of the building grown by grass merging with surrounding.

At point of prospective connection to the city railway station the embankment is cut for pedestrian entrance placement. Geometry of this concrete entrance is derived from the shape of city road.

Front facades, two sections in landscape, are utilized for delivery yards, venting openings, offices doors and windows. Covered by perforated sheetmetal - a curtain, beyond which borders of full and hollow, land and building could be read due to lights and shadows play.

Roof became the new parterre. Roof's objects organization is subordinated to parking places. All technologies are adjusted into five platforms steadily placed on the roof. Lights are placed onto high poles illuminating maximal area. Usage of grisly urban materials in rectangular silhouettes provides entrance's red curve to distinguish.

Shopping mall interconnecting number of smaller and larger shops is placed in two levels inside. Smooth customers flow was transferred into mall plans. Customers are led by spatial loop interconnecting both levels of the building. The mall is laced by advertisement strip above the shop-front - a line in the space - where tenants place their commercial labels. Customers flow principle created skylight shapes above main piazza of the mall as well as above the roof entrance. Operational and escape corridors are tinted (by reason of clear orientation) by basic colour according to purpose, together creating the spectrum.

Building structure is assembled from pre-cast reinforced concrete large-span framing. Vertical communications, delivery docks and pedestrian entrance are made of cast in-situ concrete. Embankments are reinforced by geo-textiles and their fronts by steel meshes. Removable partition walls are made of plasterboard.

Someday, roof of the building could serve as parterre for construction of buildings in principle identically solved as present technological platforms.
