Reconstruction of Depository of National Library of CZ in Prague-Hostivař

In 2015 we have started working out the revision for detailed design for reconstruction of depository on National Library in Prague – Hostivař. Now we had passed successful formal approval.

Depository of National Library in Hostivař is unique building built in 90’s of the last century by reconstruction and extension of exhibition hall from 60’s. In original exhibitions hall is now placed main depository, using maximal occupancy of the space by placing in three-stored shelves.

Construction is divided in each store into six independent main parts. Of three side of perimeter are situated administration offices, operational are and restoration workshops, which are divided from depository itself by communication hallway.

In basement are place technological rooms of object, vacuum chamber, storages, workshops for reconstruction of microfilms. In extension of the roof and the attic is situated engine room with air-conditions.

Together with colleague Václav Morava we have led designing works for reconstruction of technological equipment, due to achieve required climate parameters for storing books and microfilms. We have worked out documents for reconstruction a exchange of old installations of technological devices of buildings, electro installations and coordination systems due to its lifespan and agreement with valid legislative. Not at last we have also worked on disposal changes in objects, reflecting to current needs of depository.

The Zahradníkova Polyclinic building has seen the first reconstruction phase completed

The building of the existing Zahradníkova Polyclinic, which was built between 1922-1924 and 1927-1928, gained a more up-to-date appearance thanks to the restoration of its facade that is subject to preservation

The Zahradníkova Polyclinic is the centre for a number of general practitioners as well as the out-patient clinic of specialised physicians. There are an operating theatre, rehabilitation, laboratory, pharmacy and other facilities in the building, serving the needs of the polyclinic.

The Zahradníkova Polyclinic structure is a cultural monument and lies in the Protected Area of the Brno City Preservation Zone. The Polyclinic building (originally the Ambulatorium) was built in the late 20th century in the functionalist style according to the design of architect Jindřich Kumpošt (1891-1968). The adjoining apartment house Veveří 64 was later connected to the building. (Find more information on the history of this building here.)

The project involved the execution of Phase I of the reconstruction where the culturally protected facade in street Zahradníkova 2-4 was restored, the facade in street Veveří 64 was reconstructed and a new LV switching station was built instead of the original substation.

The polyclinic building has been preserved in terms of its mass, layout, exterior and interior with original architectural features and details such as “American” windows and travertine wall tiles.
