The main, partly two-storey section with a saddle-back roof on the north side of the piazetta, where a barn had once existed, contains a cultural hall with technical rooms and an information centre equipped with a library and a reading room. The cambered hall and library are lighted using two large skylights and, together with the white façade, animated by a geometric play of lighted niches, which has become a characteristic feature of the building, distinct and recognizable from long distance. The hallway with a snack bar is oriented in the direction opposite the road and includes an external unroofed terrace. Text: Bystroň Group a.s. a redakce Foto: Alexandra Timpau POSITIV 2/2019 ǀ 77
