Jury's evaluation: Continuous house on the island - a new real use of Children's Island in the center of Prague.
Theme - the use of the existing wall. Preservation of context and analogy of the place.
Gently adorned linear form - with a glass tube, with a descending auditorium.
Beautiful Corbusian sketches of the interior.

With a simple gesture the building appears to float on the surface of the island as a box which configures the entrance and the bridge. The hot baths are set under the surface and offer a peaceful getaway, as well as panoramic views. Only the bubbles projected as sky-lights indicate the presence of the underground baths.
The program runs through the main corridor in a simple linear fashion. All the different spaces and pools appear in a balanced sequence, comparable to the "full-box" entrance.
