The project envisages the transformation of the intra-quarter space near the intersection of B. Khmelnytsky, Promyslova and Donetska streets in Lviv.

Over the past decade, the Pidzamche neighborhood has been undergoing serious metamorphosis. They are quite natural, because this location is located near the city center and has always been underestimated due to the saturation of industrial production, a significant part of which has ceased to operate.

As of now, the site is in a rather dilapidated condition and is built up with one-story outbuildings, most of which appeared spontaneously.

The project proposal proposes the creation of an intra-quarter terraced bridge of 3 to 5 floors between the existing blind ends of buildings located on neighboring plots. This volume will divide the site into two spaces: a public space along B. Khmelnytskoho Street and a semi-private space along the green slope of the railway line.

The building is filled with public functions, and an underground parking lot is also planned.

The established historical environment and the presence of a railway track nearby are extremely important aspects for this location.

Therefore, the newly created volume supports the existing local morphology and parcelization of the urban fabric, which is also intended to reduce the level of noise pollution from the railway. And the height characteristics take into account the opening of views of the Castle Hill.
