The renovation of the foyer of the municipal office building in Kopřivnice, constructed in the 1970s in the Brutalist style, is grounded in principles of respect for the original architecture, functional rationality, and contemporary aesthetics. The primary design intention was to uncover and accentuate the reinforced concrete structure, which constitutes a defining element of the space’s identity.

The project focuses on stripping the space of visually disruptive elements, allowing the clarity and expressive power of the Brutalist structure to fully emerge. The newly designed reception and buffet counters become the dominant interior features, materially unified through perforated concrete elements.
The renovation also seeks to restore the original marble flooring as a significant part of the interior’s material heritage. The acoustic qualities of the space are enhanced by the introduction of linear suspended acoustic elements.

The proposed intervention connects the historical value of Brutalist architecture with the operational demands of a contemporary municipal office, thereby supporting its long-term sustainability and renewing its cultural relevance.
