The building is located adjacent to the brownfields of the historical industrial Zbrojovka area in Brno, facing the river Svitava which is now activated by just a bike lane, and bears the potential of becoming a mediating element to change the whole district. With this intention we designed a corner entrance to the building, transforming the intended residential function into a high-quality urban and urban-communicating multifunctional facility. To further connect the function to the street we planned at the ground level a generous open space plan for hosting commercial and office spaces.
The assignment itself, as well as the choice of the object, underlines its industrial aesthetics as an added value. Player’s in today's real estate market are looking for elements that have an overlap. If this overlap also has a history and a certain degree of complexity, it is all the more attractive.

In the DADA district, we were the first to analyze the main supporting structure and tried to clean it to its most elementary and therefore strongest form. Subsequently, this process revealed the possibilities of its completion and lightening, which is the moment when we begin to shape the layout solution.
In the case of adaptation of an existing building, it is important to be guided by the object and adapt to its essence. The opposite procedure is redeemed by the disproportionate cost of reconstruction or reduced operability of the project.
