The building is located on the edge of the former acropolis of the Celtic oppidum on Hradiště hill, which also stretched on the opposite hill of Šance, making it the largest oppidum in Bohemia. The place is a popular destination for hikers from nearby Prague. In the past, the Acropolis was completely explored by archaeologists down to the rock itself, then re-buried. The place has thus lost much of its original attractiveness. The lookout tower should reverse this unfavorable condition.
A rational, simple construction, where there is nothing extra, suits this place. The triangular supporting structure of the lookout tower consists of pressure-impregnated larch logs connected by steel joints. The columns are arranged in a triangle with a side size of 4 m and are interconnected by logs and steel rods so that the whole structure functions as a lattice 28 meter high beam. This is complemented by "sálings" with steel rods, the system stabilizes the tower against wind forces.
In the middle of the tower there is a spiral oak staircase and above the wooden structure there is a mast equipped with a banner and a signal light.
To prolong the life of the structure, the horizontal elements are covered with sheet metal.
The lookout tower structurally develops a number of our towers designed from wooden logs with a typical spiral staircase. The whole world is looking for a way to better reconcile with nature, minimize the carbon footprint and emerge from the deep crisis that architecture is going through. Construction is our answer to many of the questions mentioned.
