Selected site is located on the outskirts of the city centre of Brno, at a crossroad of streets Stará and Bratislavská. The area of the site is 3402 m2. The building is designed to respond to urban disposition, pedestrian paths and needs of the city. Main goal of the project was to design a polyfunctional building which includes housing units, parking lot, shops and also sports hall. The proposal of sports hall is based on connection with possibilities of the site and needs of nearby preschool and elementary school which is dealing with issues of its sports hall unsatisfactory capacity. The sports hall will be also available for general public. Another goal of the project was design of area in front of entrance of Radosť theater which is situated next to the site. The building consists of two main parts with different heights. The sports hall is also integrated to the object with height separation from main parts.

There is public piazzetta located in front of the Radosť theater which supports its cultural significance. Between the two main parts there is semipublic open space which includes children playground. Semiprivate space is situated on the north side of the object and offers rentable gardens.
