Kolonáda, Functionalist colonnade in Luhačovice, Czech Republic.
Kolonáda is a functionalist colonnade with three main sections connected by covered walkways, housing the Great Colonnade, Small Colonnade, and Vincentka Hall. The structure provides shelter while allowing visitors access to mineral water fountains integrated throughout the complex.
Architect Oskar Poříska designed this structure in the mid-20th century as an expression of functionalist principles. It was built as an integral part of the spa town's development as a health resort.
The colonnade serves as a central meeting point where spa visitors gather to drink mineral water and spend time together. It forms the heart of the town's wellness culture and social life.
The colonnade is open during daylight hours and allows visitors to collect mineral water from fountains while staying protected from rain and weather. The covered structure makes it easy to walk through and spend time without getting wet.
The renovation used a specific natural aggregate material called Cemix 2799 Brizolite to maintain the original beige color of the facade. This material was carefully chosen to ensure the building's historical appearance remained unchanged.
