Multifunctional Building Ostrava - Vítkovice

The building's exterior reacts to its surroundings.

The façade of the second above-ground floor is designed using sandwich panels with a corrugated metal sheet surface, corresponding with the ones used in the façade of the existing shop floor.

The saw-tooth roof of the building is reminiscent of the plant's once neighbouring the famous Vítkovice Ironworks (now transformed into Vítkovice Machinery Group).

The building is segmented by a glazed parterre divided by transverse supporting walls. The parterre contains a restaurant and a confectionery with a shop.

The unloaded parterre carries a "floating pontoon" of the second above-ground floor with a prominent angle iron spike at the corner of the Šalamounská and Výstavní Street.

The compound contains two administration premises.

At the horizontal level, the building ends with a wooden mass of saw-tooth roofs containing two residential units.

The object has a partial cellar containing the company owner's vinotheque.
