Every brewery is a collage of history, an accretion of utilitarian layers, of transformation, of growth, of expansion. At once romantic and rational. We must work with the spirit of the brewery and its architecture, with each part of each object, their limits, characters & opportunities.
The manipulation of light and space is important and inspiring. We „take“ to get the light, we „add“ to use and meet the spatial limits. We „design“ transparent layers to partially lighten the power of brewing architecture. We look for symbiosis and contrast of light and space, we adapt the shape and function. Thanks to the historical ubiquitous context, it is possible to realize the new identity with modern elements.
Between the Northern part of the new residence and the Southern part of the historic buildings, on the east - west axis, where the brewery ’s private road, formerly known in the first half of the 20th century, used to operate. Hostivítova Street, a mobile pedestrian zone with a eastern entrance through the historic brewery gate from Bělehradská Street and a western entrance from Závišova Street is proposed. The second, North-South axis, which passes through a new passage in building A and connects the entire brewery complex with a new bridge over Botič to Křesomyslova Street, emerges from this axis in the place of the new square.
The public space is designed around the entire brewery, but the most important is the sequence of its three main parts. The center of the public space should be the square, a free space with the possibility of organizing various seasonal events, famer’s markets and community meetings in the spirit of the traditions of events held in the brewery garden. The Pivovarský Courtyard is connected to the square with a place for a micro-brewery, a restaurant, a vine-food market or a market, a place for refreshments and sitting.
