Textual content description offered by the architects. Internal peace, acceptance, humility and concord. These are the feelings we aimed to include into the design of the kids’s hospice. Regardless of its dimension, is sort of discretely set into the encircling space. It’s positioned into the pure amphitheatre of the unique park and oriented in direction of a protected inside courtyard with preserved mature bushes. All the kids’s rooms and the communal areas are oriented in direction of this atrium with views of greenery and even a small pond. We additionally designed a viewing walkway on the roof resulting in a meditation spot on the high of the hill. From the dad and mom’ rooms on the higher ground, you possibly can entry it at any time – day or evening.
The primary ground is split into 4 distinct sections with completely different functions.
On the correct facet of the doorway, there’s a giant communal and eating area with entry to terraces on either side.

Within the third part is the principle lodging for our purchasers. There are 10 rooms for youngsters, every one with a small non-public terrace positioned across the giant central courtyard, a nurses’ station, and a separate residence for final farewells with its personal memorial atrium. This uncommon residence with a particular chilled room permits dad and mom and shut household to say their final goodbyes privately, in their very own time and with none interference.
The round hall, operating throughout the atrium, is generously glazed, providing stunning views of the bushes and sky above. There are additionally reflections of sunshine from the pond’s floor for the mendacity sufferers to take pleasure in.
The round format of the corridors with dwelling niches and lots of views to the surface is without doubt one of the most essential components of the design. The constructing permits for motion on foot, with a stroller, or in a wheelchair. Alternating environments and spending time alone or with others. It gives contact with nature, whatever the climate or one’s bodily situation. It is a fashionable sanctuary, hidden from the encircling public park.
From the doorway corridor, you should use the principle staircase or the elevator to entry the dad and mom’ ground upstairs. It’s separated from the remainder of the hospice’s operations by design. It gives privateness and rest for fogeys understanding, that the kid is nicely cared for by the workers. This ground options household rooms with non-public terraces and views of the encircling park, in addition to a standard room for casual conferences with different households. By making good use of the encircling terrain, there’s direct entry from the dad and mom’ ground to the surface, in addition to to the walkway and a big roof terrace providing panoramic views of Brno. This beneficiant exterior area may even serve for social occasions and fundraisers, for exercising, stargazing, or just for rest.
The executive space downstairs is considerably embedded into the terrain, with its personal entrance and repair entry. It comprises workplaces, assembly rooms, technical amenities, and storage rooms. Alongside the jap façade of the constructing, there’s a discreet outside entry to the memorial atrium and the Room for final farewells.
As a result of the constructing is basically embedded into the terrain, we used monolithic strengthened concrete as the principle building materials. Its aesthetics are mirrored each inside and on the constructing’s façade, the place concrete-gray polished plaster is complemented by larch wooden panelling and large-format glazing in picket frames. The outstanding overhangs of the monolithic ceilings cowl the terraces, creating shelter at every entrance and function passive shading to stop overheating of the inside.

The soil and greenery on the dwelling roofs forestall overheating of the inside, accumulate rainwater, and sluggish its runoff whereas serving to the constructing mix in with the encircling terrain. Extra rainwater is collected in a big underground tank, which provides the backyard pond and irrigates the bushes and garden within the courtyard.
