Headquarters of JUST CS

The foundation of the transformation of the existing area, which forms part of the Hostivařská industrial area, is the establishment of the new headquarters of JUST CS. In the first stage, the proposal envisages the creation of 4 operationally connected units - offices, expedition, warehouse and gazebo. The first three named are designed as a square-shaped solitaire with two rectangular appendages. This basic shape is ground-floor and forms a plinth for two protruding cubes - offices, which are raised by one floor with a light construction, and a storage hall. The ground-floor gazebo, complete with a pond and a fireplace, is located in mature greenery. The second construction stage consists of a new building located on part of the freed land after the demolished building in connection with the JUST CS headquarters and U Továren street. A free space is created between the new building and the JUST CS headquarters, serving as the main entrances to both buildings and the passage of passenger vehicles. After its completion, the new building will optically divide the area into two parts - an entrance representative park with mature greenery to the west and a warehouse part, which will be used mainly for the purposes of production, storage and transport at rest.


The basis of the architectural form is the concept of two protruding prisms from the connecting plinth. The latter forms the pivotal base, and therefore its character is maximally solid with a minimum of holes. The architectural solution of the building is based on the structural solution of the existing building. The rhythm of the brick pillars of the perimeter walls and windows becomes the bearer of aesthetics - in certain places it is irregularly prescribed in the plinth, in the cube of offices it fully develops from a series of openings on the floor to a high order on the 3rd and 4th above-ground floors, and in the cube of the storage hall there is visible on the basis of the pre-set grate. This grid is disturbed only in a few important places - the window showcase of the lobby, the dining room and the large meeting room on the ground floor, the frosted glazing on the ground floor of the warehouse, the window opening of the staircase and the view from the roof terrace. The drabness of the storage hall cube is complemented by shed skylights that form a kind of crown of the building, visible in the second plan when viewed from afar. The material solution of the plinth responds to the operation of the industrial area, especially the proximity of car traffic.
