The idea of enriching Prague 14 with a lookout tower was born out of an idea of the mayor of this city district, Radek Vondra, in 2013. He convinced Landia Management s.r.o. to join forces with him in order to transform this dream into a reality. They announced an invited competition, to which we contributed three different proposals, including a highly experimental one called Doubravka. And it won!

What is revolutionary about the tower is the use of a non-traditional building material – thin twigs not usually used for this type of structure. We were inspired by natural forms from Papua New Guinea and real birds’ nests. In order for us to be able to use this type of structure, we needed years of research and experimentation.
