The subject of this thesis is an urban and architectural study of the area around the historical Gate of Matky Boží in Jihlava and a proposal for a development plan for this part of the historic centre. From the point of view of the context of the whole city and the integration of the area into its structure, the proposal restores the pedestrian permeability of the area by means of a footbridge connecting Matky Boží Street with the suburb. In addition, two parking structures are proposed on the site to help minimize the parking problem in the historic core and make way for new public spaces. The architectural portion of the work deals with the renovation of two historic houses owned by the city. The emphasis is on a new, sustainable functional use of the spaces of these listed buildings. The result is the design of a complex of two houses with a publicly accessible inner courtyard, which together form a vibrant part of the urban centre of Jihlava suitable for living, working, culture, entertainment, leisure and recreation.
