The concept is strongly affected by the close main roads. 5. května (street) with a slip ramp is of a straight-line highway character. It establishes a residual area, which is a typical feature of civil structures outside a city defined by the sharp intersection with Vykočilova (street) and two different levels of both roads. It was the need to define the building in terms of the highway, against its lines determining the building‘s outline the highway never had reckoned with, that was so important in course of searching for the form of the building. The turf on the highway‘s slope hiding a part of the building establishes a reducing element between the town and out-of-town environment.
