A building from the 70s with services for one of the oldest public parks in Central Europe became a maison close, inhibiting public activities in its surroundings. Closed during Covid and re-purchased by the city, its restoration aimed to shine light on its late modern qualities. We cleared interiors, exposed ceilings, added an open kitchen and public restrooms. Sliding glass panels reconnect the café with its surrounding landscape. The building is now nominated for the CE ZA AR Prize.
