molot h e l e i s u r e p i e r

A pier with a café bar - the molo is located on a reservoir spit on a south bank of the Brno`s dam, sought after for leisure activities. the place is half park, half a grassy beach during the summer time and is visited during the whole year for walks, bike rides thanks to a passing pathway right through the place. the area lays in west periphery of Brno city surrounded by pleasant landscape with woods and is reachable by the bus as well as the tram straight from the down town.

the concept is to make the natural place more attractive and to offer the public the base camp - the start and end point for sport and relaxation activities, together with the public bathroom and toilets, space for enjoyment and relax-ation on the water. the natural base for bathing, swimming, yachting, cross country biking and even during the winter time for ice-skating, ice-kiting and cross-country skiing. the project is based on the nature of the place, with exist-ing awesome wooden sculptures and installations on it, as much as possible. As much space i took on the ground, as i returned it on the decks of the pier.

the structure consists of a timber construction standing on concrete piles on the ground and the pier arms above the water level stand on oak piles in the water. the café is designated for a whole year service, with the capacity up to 30 people and during the season with the wooden terrace together up to 75 people. the overall floor area is 860 sq m and the width of the pear is 52 m and the overall length is 80 m from which there is 50 m long main arm on the water level. there is also separated unit of storeroom for sports-wear together with baths and public toilets in one place.
