Interactive centre for the popularisation, promotion and dissemination of science and research, located in the premises of Pavilion D in the Brno Exhibition Centre. The pavilion was completed in 1973 (arch. Zdeněk Denk) with the main entrance oriented to the exhibition grounds as part of the urban structure of pavilions, gradually built along Křížkovský street. The original block of the entrance hall from the exhibition centre side was transformed into a part of the exhibition — Science Theatre and a new entrance — amoeba, which is also a characteristic element of the new use of the building, was created on the opposite side.
Together with the shelter at the bus stop, the entrance amoeba is expressively contrasted with the original austere expression of the pavilion and forms a landmark for the new entrance to VIDA! Science Centers. Their organic form consists of a steel structure with metal stencils on the inner shell and classic plumbing treatment from the outside. The pavilion itself, on the other hand, was reconstructed with respect for the original character of all structures (spatial truss roof on 8 massive columns), including a completely new curtain wall, fitted to the original steel structure of the shell.
On an area of almost 5000 m², there are over 150 interactive exhibits (e.g. ocean in a bottle, a bicycle on a rope, a rotating room, an earthquake plate, a life-size heart model). The permanent exhibition is divided into 4 basic areas — Planet, Civilization, Man and Microworld. In each of these areas there are so called vidators — lecturers, guides who are in charge of scientific experiments and help in the operation of the exhibits. The accompanying program includes performances with scientific experiments and special programs for schools and the public.

New building of four-star hotel with spa and congress area. Hotel capacity 100 rooms 6 suites. The hotel is part of the project of the extensive ski area Dolní Morava.
The facades are dominated by local traditionally used materials. A stone rootstock made of local stone evokes the plinth of mountain huts. The wooden cladding of the residential part is made of untreated larch decks. The gradual natural aging of the cladding will allow the building to blend in with the beautiful surrounding nature.
The building consists of two basic masses, the stone plinth of the hinterland of the hotel and the wooden three storey blocks of hotel rooms. The two basic elements are separated by a richly glazed entrance floor, which allows a panoramic view of the beautiful surroundings. This part connects the two facilities communicatively and at the same time acoustically separates them.
The entrance hall with reception is located in the center of the layout and divides the floor plan into the left part of the restaurants and the right part of the facilities. This hall is the communication center of the entire hotel. Through the elevators and the main staircase it is connected to the facilities on the lower floors as well as to the accommodation section above it.
The hotel restaurant offers a magnificent view of the surroundings not only from the large terrace, but also through the all-glass facade. The á la carte restaurant is designed as a sheltered intimate space where visitors can enjoy the culinary specialties offered. The reception is connected to the office operations of the hotel management and a spacious hotel ski storage room with direct access.
Part of the wellness world is a Finnish sauna, a steam room, a kneipp walkway, a jacuzzi and a swimming pool, another option is a visit to the fitness room or several types of massages.
