The reconstructed former industrial site is strategically located near Pilsen’s main railway station, including the transport terminal, and near the main routes and high-capacity roads to Prague, Karlovy Vary, České Budějovice and Germany. It is located in the municipal district of Pilsen-Slovany with 35,000 inhabitants. In the immediate vicinity, there are business and shopping centers, as well as educational and sports infrastructure. The architectural proposal for the reconstruction of the former industrial area is based on the original industrial rendering, which is complemented by contrasting contemporary elements. The goal of the design, which was supported by the studios Ateliér Ostrava and PROFURE atelier, was to preserve the original character of the proposed objects and to use all the existing masonry perimeter structures and the skeleton system. The complex represents a comprehensive space that will be able to provide even the most modern administrative and storage requirements of future tenants, in an above-standard architectural quality of the environment.
