Description:

Multi-purpose building is located in the south creek Brno-Reservoir/Dam. On one side it is surrounded by a dam/reservoir, on the other side by greenery. The straight ramp is connected to a cafe and another part goes in the amphitheatre. Also, it is connected seamlessly with the prospect, which is located above the café. Café sticks out from the ramp above the water-level and its emphasis is achieved by the entrance with a logo in a corten-wall. The robustness of the amphitheatre is suppressed because it is slightly embedded below the water surface. The water surface overflows the edge and has a relaxing effect. The amphitheatre is variable and freely accessible.
