Vlněna

Vlněna represents the latest business park by CTP in Brno. The site was developed on the grounds of the former textile factory of the same name, whose buildings were gradually demolished owing to their deteriorating condition. In their place, a modern multifunctional district was created, linking work and personal life for the people of Brno. 

The Vlněna complex consists of several stand-alone buildings, including the renovated Neo-Renaissance Bochner Palace. The buildings are arranged around an inner courtyard, which also serves as a communication axis between Dornych, Přízova, and Mlýnská streets. The entire complex was designed by the architectural studio Studio acht, with lead architects Václav Hlaváček and Ben Hoek. One of the first buildings to be completed in the complex in 2018 was Building H, a tower with organic shapes, its facade featuring banded windows on a wavy surface. 

The inner courtyard is designed as a green roof with various lawns, flower beds, and newly planted mature trees. All landscaping work was carried out according to the design of the Dutch garden architect Lodewijk Baljon, working in collaboration with Studio acht. The quality of the work is reflected in its recognition in the 2020 Green Roof of the Year competition in the Public Green Roof category. Around 3,500 people work at Vlněna, and in 2021, a modern coworking centre, Clubco, was established here. 

The Brno brownfield Vlněna is now in its final phase of development. One of the completed buildings is the modern office Building I, which stands 60 metres tall, becoming a natural landmark for the Vlněna complex. Additionally, CTP has started the construction of three buildings labelled K, X, and Y, which will offer more office spaces, 255 residential units, and a 25-metre swimming pool. 

During the Open House Brno event, participants will have the opportunity to visit the outdoor areas of Vlněna and learn more about its history and architecture through an audio guide.
