Administrative building Tipsport

Administrative building Tipsport
Architect: FACIS architekti
Address: Politických vězňů 156, Beroun, Czech Republic
Project:2004-05
Completion:2005-06


The new administrative building for the company Tipsport is being realized in close proximity to the historical center of the town of Beroun. The space for the new object was defined by the gap between the existing Tipsport building and the neo-Renaissance Duslov villa (designed by Antonín Wiehl). The new building connects to the existing building and is also operationally linked to it. The southern boundary of the plot is formed by the original medieval city fortifications. The area occupied by the construction was previously within the space of the parade ground, moat, and rampart.
The design of the new building is conceived so as not to suppress the architectural effect of the Duslov villa. This intention was elevated to one of the basic entry conditions of the design.
The architectural solution of the new building employs clear and simple geometric forms. From the views from Politických vězňů Street, two transversely oriented mass blocks are most prominently presented, which at the level of the second floor protrude over the street line defined by the first floor. The third floor is suppressed from the perspective of Politických vězňů Street by receding into the building.
The new building is set back from the existing object by a transparent recessing staircase. Directly adjacent to the existing object, a wall of exposed concrete is established, which is parallel to the gable wall of the existing building.
In the southern view (towards the walls), two transverse blocks are again present, with the front side of the blocks being glazed. The remaining surfaces of the southern facade are covered with external horizontal shading slats for unification of the surface. In this view, a large existing tree, which was not removed, is also significantly featured.
The building is realized as an administrative building of high standard with high requirements for all professions.
The load-bearing structure of the building is monolithic reinforced concrete, wall-type. The foundation is constructed on piles. Material solution for the building's exterior: Facade cladding made of Těšín sandstone slabs. Other solid surfaces of the facade are of exposed concrete. Openings and glazed parts of the facade are made from a facade system of aluminum profiles, in combination with point-supported glazing.
