The former industrial area of the Zbrojovka company in Brno-Židenice is currently being transformed into a new part of the city, where flats, offices, and commercial and recreational spaces will be built in 6 stages of construction. It will be one of the most modern districts of Brno, built with respect for its significant history.
Our company has been cooperating with the investor since the beginning of the redevelopment of this area. We have already participated in the change of the zoning plan in this location, in several competitive studies of the development of the site and the Svitava river embankment, in the new Masterplan, in the documentation and negotiation of demolition works of most of the existing buildings and the management of the reconstruction of the Nářaďovna building (now ZET.office). We are currently working on the project documentation for the first 4 blocks of the residential part of the complex (blocks A, B, C and G).

The complex is located in Brno on Londýnské náměstí, between Heršpická, Vídeňská and Jihlavská streets.

Three apartment towers rise from the roof above the shared garage space, while the remaining roof area is designed as a green space, incorporating play elements for both adults and children. The façades of the apartment buildings are clad in brick strips with wooden windows, harmonizing with the traditional architecture of the Dejvice area.

The construction was divided into two main phases: the first phase involved demolition, foundation work, and infrastructure with roads, while the second phase, led by a general contractor, focused on the construction of the apartment buildings themselves. The project was managed through a Construction Management system.
