Located in the centre of Janské Lázně, a celebrated spa and ski town, this multifunctional building replaces public toilets on the same site. The design idea focuses on creating a seamless connection to the neighbouring landmark colonnade, while also emphasising the mature trees and panoramic views which enrich the site.
Unlike the previous building, the new structure has been embedded into the slope, making its roof a barrier-free extension of the historic town square. This main level accommodates a bus shelter, accessible toilet and terrace offering views down the valley. The predecessor’s obscure entrance on Dolní Promenada has been replaced by an intuitive and inviting main façade visible from the main square.
The rest of the toilets and ancillary rooms are placed one level below. Although partially enclosed by the mountainous topography, this lower level is naturally lit from above. Thoughtfully placed windows frame views of the landscape which made Janské Lázně famous, and deliver daylight to all common areas on the lower level.

Durable, solid materials were used for the construction: masonry blocks for the walls; concrete slabs for the floors and roof; ceramic tiles and black metal for the facade.
