    "body": "<p style=\"text-align: left\">KCAP&#039;s proposal for the Winter Harbour (Zimn&yacute; pr&iacute;stav) in Bratislava has won second place in the international two-stage competition organised by the Metropolitan Institute of Bratislava on behalf of the Port Authority and the City of Bratislava. From 123 entries, five teams were shortlisted for the second round. The jury described KCAP&#039;s plan as the scheme that, of all shortlisted proposals, most successfully captures the industrial atmosphere of the harbour while introducing a legible and robust new urban structure. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">For over a century the Winter Harbour has been closed to Bratislava. KCAP&#039;s plan returns five kilometres of waterfront to the citizens. Around them grows a walkable, largely car-free district of 10,400 homes and 5,800 workplaces, with three new parks and a heritage landscape that stays recognisably a harbour. </p>\n    <figure\n

programme</figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<h4 id=\"a-district-built-on-industrial-memory\" >A district built on industrial memory </h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">For 125 years the harbour has been the bustling scene of port activity, and its monuments carry that story: a 1904 pumping station, a shipyard with its 1940 boat lift, a warehouse, the portal cranes. Together with the basins, quays and rail corridors they form the spatial grammar of the new district. The boat lift stays in operation as a living museum, where volunteers keep restoring historic vessels, and a 1937 tugboat opens an open-air collection. A monumental warehouse becomes the watersports and community centre. Cranes are retained, and rails and relics stay visible in the paving. The jury praised the thoughtful retention and reinterpretation of these heritage structures, including the railway tracks, and their relationship with the new parks and public spaces. </p><h4 id=\"every-route-leads-to-the-water\" >Every route leads to the water</h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">The block pattern of the existing city continues across the two roads that cut the harbour off today, so the district reads as a continuation of Bratislava rather than an enclave. Every street of the surrounding neighbourhoods reaches the water, and the urban highway along the site becomes a green boulevard with a central lane for a future tram. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Inside, pedestrians and cyclists come first; cars stop at the edge in mobility hubs. The Loop, a 2.7 km promenade, links the three parks in one gesture, past every monument, crane and rail, and two new bridges close the circuit. The jury praised this legible hierarchy of streets and routes that opens access and views to the water. </p><h4 id=\"work-with-the-water-not-against-it\" >Work with the water, not against it</h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">The most distinctive move in the plan is how it handles the Danube&#039;s floods. A three-level landscape keeps every original dock edge intact and accessible: the lowest stays at today&#039;s quay height and is free to flood, an intermediate level lifts walkways and ground floors above the hundred-year flood line, and only the access routes rise to the fully flood-safe level. Where the flood line meets the city it is built into the architecture, as facade gates and mobile barriers rather than a dyke. In total 17.7 hectares remain floodable. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">That floodable edge is where nature takes the lead. Reedbeds and floating planters line the sloping granite banks, kingfishers nest in niches in the retaining walls, and swift bricks go into every new facade. The straight quays, by contrast, are the active edges: one basin is for watersport, with rowing, kayaking and a filtered pool floating along the quay; the other holds the city marina and the floating heritage fleet. Swim, sail, stroll or just sit by the water: the docks bring everyone together. </p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained

The culture park sits around the boat lift and museum, with an event lawn and a river cruise terminal. The riverside park works at the scale of the river and closes the last gap in Bratislava&#039;s Danube promenade. The neighbourhood park is the civic heart and the main entrance: the primary school and the sports hall face it and share their pitches with the neighbourhood, and the old rail geometry of the goods yard structures the park. The jury found the location of the school and its relationship with this park particularly successful, forming a well-considered new civic heart to the development. </p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/fa16d8c5-88a7-4a51-a042-41d5a080b8d2/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                    srcset=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/fa16d8c5-88a7-4a51-a042-41d5a080b8d2/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/ 1x, https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/fa16d8c5-88a7-4a51-a042-41d5a080b8d2/-/resize/2400x/-/format/auto/ 2x\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"Goodsyard Park, the civic heart of the district and the entrance from Mlynsk&amp;eacute; Nivy\"\n                id=\"image-fa16d8c5-88a7-4a51-a042-41d5a080b8d2\"\n                data-id=\"fa16d8c5-88a7-4a51-a042-41d5a080b8d2\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/fa16d8c5-88a7-4a51-a042-41d5a080b8d2/-/inline/no/260915_Round+2+Submission_Panels+700x1000_Final_4.jpeg\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/fa16d8c5-88a7-4a51-a042-41d5a080b8d2/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Goodsyard Park, the civic heart of the district and the entrance from Mlynsk\u00e9 Nivy\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\">Goodsyard Park, the civic heart of the district and the entrance from Mlynsk&eacute; Nivy</figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<h4 id=\"one-perimeter-block-grammar-five-distinct-neighbourhoods\" >One perimeter block grammar, five distinct neighbourhoods</h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">The district takes its form from the European perimeter block, the type that defines the Central European capital. Five character areas share this grammar and differ in grain, height and relation to the water. Height rises towards the downtown skyline and falls towards the monuments and the river. Cultural buildings like a library and an art and music school take prominent landmark positions. Every daily need sits within a fifteen-minute walk, and housing is diverse and affordable across incomes. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Winter Harbour is also a living laboratory for Bratislava&#039;s next urban chapter: a gas-free energy system drawing on the Danube, bio-based construction and a binding sustainability code from the regional scale down to the single building. The implementation strategy advises that a dedicated development company steers design quality over the decades of transformation. In the phasing, flood protection and public space come first. Quick wins like events and temporary programme in the existing buildings open the site from day one. </p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/1a65c439-bb62-4396-a106-34b574200a9c/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                    srcset=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/1a65c439-bb62-4396-a106-34b574200a9c/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/ 1x, https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/1a65c439-bb62-4396-a106-34b574200a9c/-/resize/2400x/-/format/auto/ 2x\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"The North Wharf quay with the filtered pool in the basin, the gantry cranes standing in the open, and the Downtown skyline beyond\"\n                id=\"image-1a65c439-bb62-4396-a106-34b574200a9c\"\n                data-id=\"1a65c439-bb62-4396-a106-34b574200a9c\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/1a65c439-bb62-4396-a106-34b574200a9c/-/inline/no/260915_Round+2+Submission_Panels+700x1000_Final_5.jpeg\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/1a65c439-bb62-4396-a106-34b574200a9c/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"The North Wharf quay with the filtered pool in the basin, the gantry cranes standing in the open, and the Downtown skyline beyond\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\">The North Wharf quay with the filtered pool in the basin, the gantry cranes standing in the open, and the Downtown skyline beyond</figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<h4 id=\"exceptionally-thoughtful-and-visually-compelling\" >&quot;Exceptionally thoughtful and visually compelling&quot; </h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">In its final verdict the jury called the proposal exceptionally thoughtful and visually compelling, with a strong sense of place and a convincing long-term urban framework. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&ldquo;We are proud of this result, and of what the jury saw in it,&rdquo; says Jeroen Dirckx, partner at KCAP. &ldquo;They recognised exactly what we worked hardest on: a plan where the heritage of the harbour, a contemporary new district, flood protection and nature make each other stronger, and feel like a self-evident piece of Bratislava. We congratulate the winning team and look forward to seeing the Winter Harbour open up to the city.&rdquo; </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">For KCAP, Bratislava is familiar ground. The office won the international competition for the New Istropolis cultural district in 2021, and in 2024 the One Eurovea competition, for which it is now designing a residential tower directly next to the Winter Harbour. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">KCAP developed the proposal entirely in-house, covering urban design, landscape, mobility, water and sustainability with its own team. The competition was organised by the Metropolitan Institute of Bratislava on behalf of the port authority and the City of Bratislava. First place went to Hosoya Schaefer Architects, third place to Cobe. </p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/f18ce8db-78ac-4066-b051-9d9921918efd/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                    srcset=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/f18ce8db-78ac-4066-b051-9d9921918efd/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/ 1x, https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/f18ce8db-78ac-4066-b051-9d9921918efd/-/resize/2400x/-/format/auto/ 2x\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"Shipyard Park from the Danube, with Apollo Landing beyond (with Eurovea tower spotted on the left)\"\n                id=\"image-f18ce8db-78ac-4066-b051-9d9921918efd\"\n                data-id=\"f18ce8db-78ac-4066-b051-9d9921918efd\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/f18ce8db-78ac-4066-b051-9d9921918efd/-/inline/no/260915_Round+2+Submission_Panels+700x1000_Final_7.jpeg\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/f18ce8db-78ac-4066-b051-9d9921918efd/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Shipyard Park from the Danube, with Apollo Landing beyond (with Eurovea tower spotted on the left)\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\">Shipyard Park from the Danube, with Apollo Landing beyond (with Eurovea tower spotted on the left)</figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<h4 id=\"project-details\" >Project Details</h4><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Location: </strong>Bratislava, Slovakia </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Client: </strong>Metropolitan Institute of Bratislava, Port Authority and the City of Bratislava</p><p><strong>Status:</strong> Two-stage international competition, awarded 2nd place</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Total Area: </strong>45 ha site area. 1,040,000 m&sup2; GFA</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Programme: </strong>Mixed-use district at a 70/30 residential to non-residential split.
