Masaryčka is a lively destination throughout the day, every day of the week, and in every season. It is a place for work, leisure, meeting friends, and relaxation. Masaryčka expands the range of services, shops, and leisure activities for everyone, while at the same time offering a new standard of working environment within iconic architecture.

In 2014, the investor organised a development and architectural-urban planning competition to revitalise the Masaryk Railway Station area. Among the 12 participants, Zaha Hadid Architects submitted the winning proposal. Zaha Hadid Architects is an international architecture and design firm based in London, founded in 1980 by the Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid. In 1990, architect Patrik Schumacher became the director of ZHA. Since Zaha Hadid’s passing in April 2016, he has led the practice as its sole principal.

Studio Jakub Cigler Architekti (JCA) is the local partner of Zaha Hadid Architects, cooperating on the urban and architectural concept in all other phases of the project documentation. As the general designer of the project, JCA guarantees the technical side of the project documentation.

The close proximity to Prague’s Old Town and the fact that the project is part of a major transport hub (railway, metro, trams, proximity to the inner city ring road, and future connection to Václav Havel Airport) make the Masaryčka area a unique commercial location with a constant flow of local residents and an expected increase in both tourist and business traffic. Masaryčka also connects the popular districts of Karlín and Žižkov with the historic centre of Prague.

The Waves of Mind mural art is a visual reaction to the newly emerging world that is growing into the historical infrastructure of the city, creating new currents, energies and trajectories. The two hundred square meter concrete canvas is at the point of connection between the surrounding world and the foundations of the newly created architecture. It is intersection, where the structure of the modern palace connects with the centuries-old history of the site, creating a contact between the historical and the futuristic.

The aim of the activity ´Masaryčka spojuje´ was to bring to the public the exact information and share news on the preparations for the reconstruction of Masaryk Railway Station and the surrounding area, to present invitations to events and to provide information about how to participate in the public consultation of the project.

The main initiator and investor in the revitalization of the Masaryk Railway Station area is the company Masaryk Station Development a.s, in which Penta Real Estate s. r. o., a sister company of the Penta Group, is the majority owner. It focuses on the revitalization of brownfields and real estate development in the segments of housing, offices and retail.
