The women´s clothing factory is situated in the city part Brno-Židenice in the area of one so called „brownfields“. Currently there are rusty storages and old garages standing in the building ground. The site is bordered by several streets – it is Rokytova street, Komprdova street and Údolíček street – and the fourth side is closed by boundaries of a cemetery. The area can be entered from the north-west street Údolíček. According to the ground plan, its location is temporary, so we changed it a little to better match the needs of the company. The entrance for pedestrians is situated at the north-west too. And there are also parking places and other necessary manipulation space situated on the grounds. The clothing factory is aimed at production of Giorgio Armani´s women confection so the architectural solution is based on the basic philosophy of the company. Their models are famous for their simple design with a patterned fabric that make them special. So the basic mass of the object is a simple block, which is sensitively placed at the surrounding landscape and which is made special by the parts of ovals that are embedded or comming out of the basic mass. These parts of ovals create both – resting and functional spaces. The strong horizontal character is broken by a cylindrical body stucked into the basic shape that surmounts the block by one floor. A big part of the production hall is glassed-in so we can get enough light into the interier and the employees can be in touch with the surrounding. There is a facade net strunged in front of the glass facade. The net limits overheating and also plays the role of the unifying element. The building integrates a producion hall, storages, sanitary rooms, administrative space, canteen with affilated spaces and energy traffic necessary for running the factory. The wing cell is a steel skeleton combined with reinforced concrete circumferential wall and tie brick walls.
