Multifunkčný objekt v štvrti Nová lodenica, Piešťany

Project idea

A multifunctional building designed for the Nová lodenica quarter in Piešťany, integrating mixed-use functions within a new urban district.The aim of the thesis is to design a building that not only functionally and architecturally complements the proposed zone, but becomes its conceptual core — a place where visitors develop a connection to the local natural environment and gain an understanding of its unique character.

Project description

The diploma project proposes a multifunctional building situated in the Nová lodenica neighborhood in Piešťany. The design features a contemporary architectural language with an exposed structural frame, large glazed facades, and a landscaped surrounding area with greenery and public seating. The proposed eco-educational and cultural centre focuses on the presentation and education of the local region's fauna and flora. This theme directly corresponds with the overarching concept of the entire site — to create a space where nature, education, and community converge.

Technical information

The building is primarily constructed from timber, while the main circulation cores are made of reinforced concrete and provide structural support to the building at the level of the second above-ground floor. This floor is designed as a timber frame structure with diagonal bracing to ensure overall stability and resistance to lateral loads.
The project incorporates a range of sustainable energy and environmental strategies, including photovoltaic panels, extensive green roofs, rainwater harvesting and storage in a retention tank, and retention ponds integrated within the educational park landscape.
