Retirement home in Liptál

The municipality of Liptál is characterized by a linear settlement structure, with key civic buildings such as the municipal office, school, and church positioned along the main road. The site is directly integrated into this network of public buildings and simultaneously forms a terminating element of the village structure. Beyond it, the development gradually transitions into smaller-scale residential buildings, predominantly detached family houses.
The building plot is flat, its form defined by adjacent roadways and the meandering course of the Rokytenka stream.
The proposed atrium typology was selected to create a high-quality, sunlit interior environment supporting dignified living conditions for elderly residents.
The spatial concept is based on the intention to preserve the architecturally valuable existing buildings on the site, integrating them into the new composition.
The new building is designed as a four-storey structure with a rectangular footprint and a flat roof. Its longitudinal axis is aligned parallel to the retained existing building, which has been renovated. The uppermost floor is subtly set back, creating space for private balconies as well as a generous shared terrace. The building mass is further articulated through a rhythmic sequence of one-sided chamfered bay projections along the façade.
Typologically, the building follows a five-tract layout, with the second and fourth tracts accommodating circulation corridors.
