Rezidence Waltrovka, Residential complex in Jinonice, Prague 5, Czech Republic
Rezidence Waltrovka is a residential and commercial complex in Jinonice combining apartment buildings, townhouses, and office spaces spread across the site. The development provides underground parking, shops, and medical facilities alongside residential areas, with convenient pedestrian access to the nearby metro station.
The complex sits on land where the Walter Engines factory once operated, producing motors for automobiles and aircraft during Prague's industrial period. This transformation reflects how old manufacturing sites were repurposed into contemporary residential neighborhoods.
The development includes public gathering spaces anchored by a sculpture from a well-known Czech artist, offering places where people naturally cross paths. These areas help tie the residential sections together and serve as a meeting point for the surrounding community.
The complex is highly walkable with the metro station just minutes away on foot, making it convenient for commuting. Underground parking is available throughout the site, and everyday services like shops and medical facilities are built in, reducing the need to travel elsewhere.
A pedestrian bridge with artistic touches has connected the site to the metro station since 2017, becoming a daily passage for thousands of commuters. This link transformed how the neighborhood functions by creating a direct flow between the residential area and the transportation hub.
