• Benice Village Master Plan

    Prague, Czech Republic

    This 831-unit new community is an extension of the old hamlet of Benice on the agrarian outskirts of Prague. A wildlife corridor running through the town connects the new town's commercial center to Prague's larger open space system. Radiating out from this town center, a residential street network of mixed density contains a wide variety of housing types, two recreation centers, and two community schools. Incorporated into the town's design are numerous green features, including a BioMass power plant, wind power, and super-insulated houses, each with cisterns for rainwater collection.
