Coal Mill Libcice nad Vltavou
Areál Šroubáren, Libčice nad Vltavou, Czech Republic
Project Featured on Mar 10, 2016
The building
is situated on the premises of a former screw mill in Libčice nad Vltavou on
the banks of the Vltava river, to the north of Prague. The screw mill was
founded in 1872, the Coal Mill building originates from approximately 1900. The
original two-storeyed edifice of 12,1 by 17,5 meter and hight of 11 meter was
split in 1965 by a steel construction in three levels. Since then it served
mainly as a warehouse.
The building
was bought in 2010 by LUGI Ltd and Patrik Hoffman. Renovation works were carried out between
June 2010 and December 2011 following a plan and project by the architectonical
studio Patrik Hoffman. In a join effort,
the building of the old Coal Mine was transformed into an inspiring working
environment and will continue to be used as a polyfunctional facility in which
architecture, design, art, manufacture and warehousing meet each other.
The screw
mill kept mesmerising me. Already in 2006 I tried to convince my friend to
invest in the premises. He didn’t do that, so I had to do it myself. In that
vacated mill once more than 1600 people used to live and work, nowadays not
even a hundred have remained. And yet everything is there! Houses, railway
tracks, road, technical infrastructure, river, grown up trees. It has a great
genius loci. The premises are dilapidated and forsaken – but all it takes is to
bring it back to life.
When looking
at the reconstructed Coal Mine it should be obvious what is original and what
has been added. The masses of the newly added outer parts have been carried out
as a system of interconnected steel boxes (entrance pavilion, staircase,
balcony, boiler room), made of 4mm thick metal sheets in order to minimaze the
impact on the original look of the building.
We took the
same approach to renovating the interiors. Added constructions were removed and
the existing interior staircase was replaced by a newly placed steel staircase.
The original steel construction was cleaned and given a coating.
All the
facilities such as bathrooms, kitchen,
cleaning closet has been hidden in independent wooden „boxes“ placed freely in
the space in order to accentuate the construction of the edificie with its
openness and generous feel of open space.
The steel
roof truss structure was left in its original shape including wooden rafters
and lagging. Window openings have been fitted from the inside by new aluminium
windows with insulating double glass and the original steel window frames were
repaired and maintained.
It is our wish that this project may be an impulse to
change a forsaken brown field in a centrum where one can find studios,
manufacture, show rooms and interesting shops. May it become a place that
inspires...
