Redesign of Zvonarka Central Bus Terminal in Brno, Czech Republic. Self-initiated in 2011, this redesign and restoration project saw the architects actively engage in preserving the existing Brutalist structure and its original architectural identity, reflecting CHYBIK + KRISTOF’s commitment to perpetuating architectural heritage. Stressing the station’s central role in the city and region’s sociocultural fabric, they address the urgency to rethink the use of a decaying transportation hub and public space.

Set in a converted 19th-century brewery and its adjacent technical space added to the structure in the 1970s, the project overlooks an 11th century chapel and neighboring Gothic church – reflecting the town’s many architectural layers and histories. Merging two spaces with distinct heritages and adopting individual approaches –and understandings – of renovation for each, we responded to the respective building’s structural past and function, all the while rethinking conventional notions on restoration.
