The Urban Oasis project intervenes on an area that previously housed major industrial facilities — including the Jurkovič heating plant, the Apollo mineral oil factory, the “Kablo” cable factory and the Klingerka textile factory — regenerating the area through a system of residential spaces, green areas and public functions with the aim of defining a new urban core for the city. The masterplan develops across a triangular plot of 32,500 sqm and comprises five volumes — a tower and four medium-density buildings — arranged around a new large central public park, open to all: a series of paths, open spaces and shared areas run through the park, enriching the neighbourhood with a new urban landscape accessible to all citizens and enhancing the porosity and permeability of the district.

“With Urban Oasis, Bratislava takes a decisive step towards the model of the ‘archipelago metropolis’: a city in which neighbourhoods embrace the functional and social diversity typical of European urban life, while at the same time integrating living nature into their core and onto building facades,” states Stefano Boeri.

“We focused on how to bring architectural quality to a former industrial area undergoing major transformation, on how to maximise natural light while protecting residents from wind and noise pollution, and on how to make the park not only a flexible, high-quality public space, but also a key element in regulating the microclimate, humidity and urban heat island effect,” states Pietro Chiodi, Partner of the studio and project leader.

The Urban Oasis project requalifies the area through a system of residential spaces, green areas, and public functions, with the aim of establishing a new urban core for the city.

Specifically, the masterplan is laid out over a triangular plot of 32,500 square meters and includes five buildings – one tower and four mid-rise buildings – arranged around a large new central public park, open to everyone. A network of pathways, open spaces, and shared areas crosses the park, enriching the neighborhood with a new urban landscape accessible to all citizens and enhancing the district’s porosity and permeability.

Thanks to the predominance of pedestrian zones and bike paths – with routes weaving through green areas and connecting all ground-floor spaces – the project places a strong emphasis on sustainable mobility over car use, aiming to improve the overall quality of life in the neighborhood.

The article focuses on international sustainable examples that aim not only to have a local impact but also to serve as models for global developments.

The “Urban Oasis” masterplan for Chalupkova, a 3-hectare area in the center of Bratislava, revitalizes the district through a system of residential spaces, green areas, and public functions, with the goal of defining a new core for the city.

Specifically, the masterplan is laid out on a triangular plot of 32,500 square meters and includes five structures—a tower and four medium-density buildings—developed around a new large central public park, open to everyone. A series of paths, open spaces, and communal areas crisscross the park, enriching the area with a new urban landscape accessible to all citizens and enhancing the district’s porosity and permeability.

In the design of the volumes, the buildings feature a variation in height carefully planned to maximize the amount of direct sunlight reaching the park. This design frees up space for terraces—both public and private—intended as recreational spaces and hubs for community engagement.

The Urban Oasis project revitalizes the area through a system of residential spaces, green areas, and public functions with the aim of defining a new core for the city. Specifically, the master plan is developed on a triangular plot of 32,500 square meters and includes five buildings – one tower and four medium-density buildings – developed around a new large central public park, open to all: a series of pathways, open spaces, and common areas cross the park, enriching the area with a new urban scenario accessible to all citizens and enhancing the porosity and permeability of the neighborhood.

“The Urban Oasis project brings to a country that is winning the challenge of integration into Europe, an innovative residential district developed around a large public garden with high biodiversity. Urban Oasis best represents the challenges of the contemporary world without forgetting the Central European architectural tradition. Bratislava will thus take a step forward towards the model of a metropolitan archipelago: a city where neighborhoods are hubs of clean energy production, with the variety of functions and inhabitants typical of European cities and the living nature of plants at their center and on the facades of buildings,” says Stefano Boeri.

The Urban Oasis project revitalizes the area through a system of residential spaces, green areas, and public functions with the aim of defining a new core for the city. Specifically, the master plan covers a triangular plot of 32,500 square meters and includes five buildings – one tower and four medium-density buildings – developed around a new large central public park, open to everyone. A series of pathways, open spaces, and communal areas cross the park, enriching the area with a new urban setting accessible to all citizens and enhancing the neighborhood’s porosity and permeability.

Thanks to the predominant role of pedestrian areas and bike paths within the park, the pathway weaves through green zones and connects all the ground floors. The project significantly prioritizes sustainable mobility over car usage to improve the quality of life in the neighborhood. With the same attention to mitigating the neighborhood’s environmental impact, solar panels cover approximately 4,600 square meters on the rooftops of the buildings to contribute to the neighborhood’s energy needs through the production of renewable energy. Additionally, the project includes urban drainage systems to manage water runoff through green roofs, permeable pavements, and stormwater collection and management basins.

Therefore, Urban Oasis represents an important opportunity for urban regeneration to reshape the dynamics of a strategic neighborhood in Bratislava and define a new urban hub, starting with a large central public park.
