The project focuses on the reconstruction of the historic municipal brewery in Velká Bíteš, located within the town’s heritage conservation zone, and its transformation into a multifunctional cultural and creative centre. The building, which forms a dominant landmark and point of orientation on the town square, will be revitalised with an emphasis on preserving its historical value while at the same time adapting it to contemporary needs. The aim of the proposal is to create a permanently vibrant space that supports community life in the central part of the town.
The new programme includes a library, cultural halls, an information centre, creative workshops, a family centre, and an exhibition dedicated to the history of the brewery and the town. The architectural design respects the original urban character and historic elements, such as the Gothic cellars, while sensitively complementing them with contemporary interventions.
The reconstruction of the brewery represents a key step in the revitalisation of Velká Bíteš’s historic heritage. The multifunctional centre will bring new momentum to the town centre, creating an attractive venue for culture, education, and social life, while reinforcing the significance of this heritage building as a living heart of the town.
The building retains its existing footprint and L-shaped urban configuration. The design respects historical elements, such as the Gothic brewery cellars, and contrasts them with contemporary interventions. The main entrance is positioned at the corner of the building, emphasising its role as a point of orientation. The composition of the two buildings creates a semi-public space that connects all functional areas.
