The building is located in the Nová Karolina development area, playing a crucial role in infilling the historical void between Ostrava’s city center and the Lower Vítkovice industrial district. The primary objective was to transform a former "no man’s land" into a continuous urban fabric with a clear sense of order. The master plan defines a robust street network where the traditional urban block serves as the fundamental element, providing density while creating legible boundaries between public and private spaces.
While previous stages established the relation to Bishop Bruno Square, Building A2 completes the southeastern section of a larger block. The design task was to individually articulate the residential volumes to foster the feel of a naturally evolving city. The building features subtle vertical articulation, breaking down the mass to a human scale.
Its dominant aesthetic element is the southeastern facade, where rhythmic balconies create an interplay of light and shadow, offering residents attractive views toward the Beskydy Mountains and the planned park. In contrast, the courtyard facades are designed with deliberate simplicity. This approach resonates with the traditional logic of the urban courtyard, where a rational interior facade directly contributes to the economic sustainability of the project.
The building offers high typological diversity. Private front gardens are situated atop a semi-recessed basement garage, ensuring privacy for ground-floor residents. The upper levels step back to provide generous terraces for individually designed rooftop penthouses.
Building A2 is a vital piece of the puzzle in the realization of a new urban district based on the principles of high-quality city living.

The A2 apartment building has 6 above-ground and 2 underground floors. It contains 79 residential units, cellars, common and technical spaces. There are 105 parking spaces in the underground garages.
Under the building is a former civil protection shelter, which was grouted before the foundation. The foundation is on a foundation plate, which is supported by a combination of drilled piles and micropiling due to the complex geology.
With regard to the level of the stable groundwater level, the substructure is designed as a "brown" tub with insulation from bitumen strips. The insulation is also designed as anti-methane with regard to the mined area.
The load-bearing system is reinforced concrete monolithic, where the basement skeleton transitions to the wall system on the above-ground floors.
The facade is insulated with a contact insulation system, the spatially distinctive "cells" of the balconies are anchored via isobeams. The raised front gardens on the roof of the garage are grassed.
The building is connected to the technical infrastructure networks as standard. The heat source is a hot water exchanger station.
