1st Prize - 400,000 CZK
Company Children's Treatment Facility Ostrov – composed of the companies: VCES a.s., located at Na Harfě 337/3, 190 05 Prague 9, ICO: 26746573 (company administrator), ENESA a.s., located at U Voborníků 852/10, 190 00 Prague 9, ICO: 27382052 and Adam Rujbr Architects s.r.o., located at Lidická 75, 602 00 Brno, ICO: 26920522 
Ing. arch. Adam Rujbr
Jury Evaluation: The proposal represents a pragmatic economical solution that creates a functional and sufficiently harmonious area with appropriately used simple means. The jury appreciates the lapidary shaping of the volume, its subdivision into smaller houses while maintaining a quality layout and functional connections. It also appreciates the related creation of semi-open atriums, although their potential use does not seem sufficiently fulfilled in the proposal. The jury considers the urban planning-landscaping solution, including the layout of external communications and parking areas, to be successful.

2nd Prize - 300,000 CZK
Participant: PS BRNO, s.r.o., located at Vídeňská 153/119b, 619 00, Brno, ICO: 255 06 820

The proposal reacts to the surrounding landscape and the uniqueness of the location with a complex geometric spatial arrangement of individual masses. Unfortunately, the geometric connections between the masses of the buildings are overly complicated and this complexity is then transferred to the floor layout as well as to the work with the terrain around the building (supply ramps, retaining walls, height variability), making the proposal appear slightly fragmented. The overall volume of the building is the second largest, and the extensive green roofs, earthworks and the overall proposed material level, in the jury's opinion, do not correspond with the overall estimated amount considered for the construction's implementation. The architectural and material solution of the facades, the design of green roofs, and the calm horizontal divisions of the masses can be considered a positive aspect of the solution. Thanks to several well-designed parts, the building as a whole resonates with the surrounding landscape.

3rd Prize - 200,000 CZK
Participant: Metrostav a.s., located at Koželužská 2450/4, Libeň, 180 00 Prague 8, ICO: 00014915
Author: K4 a.s., located at Kociánka 8/10, Sadová, 612 00 Brno, ICO: 60734396
Jury Evaluation: The concept works with the composition of a central square, partially terraced roofed atrium, which is surrounded by individual functional units of the building. The highest (four-story) accommodation wing with a pitched roof and wooden facade forms the dominant element of the proposal. However, its size and form is also its most controversial element - the exposed gable and the western facade towards the Císařská cave are disproportionate to the local natural and urban context. The appropriateness of using green roofs, which appear formal (the greenery on some levels is not visible from a human perspective and is partially covered by photovoltaics), is debatable.

Substitute - 150,000 CZK
Participant: Treatment Facility Ostrov u Macochy – composed of the companies: OHL ŽS, a.s., located at Burešova 938/17, Veveří, 602 00 Brno, ICO: 463 42 796 (lead partner) and INTAR a.s., located at Bezručova 81/17a, Staré Brno, 602 00 Brno, ICO: 255 94 443
Author: INTAR a.s.
Jury Evaluation: The proposal divides the building into three wings. The rear part serves as technical support and for dining. The front part is divided into accommodation and rehabilitation and health sections. Unfortunately, the idea of pavilions declared in the diagrams is not readable from the final proposal. The jury believes that the mass of the building is too dominant and does not respect the character of the place and landscape. The location of the main entrance is debatable and unclear. The access road for deliveries is too pronounced and unnecessarily fragments the garden area. Compared to other proposals, there is a large amount of paved areas on the property, while there is a complete lack of a path to the Císařská cave. Decorating the building with motifs derived from children's drawings of the house is not further incorporated into the concept of the house. The outdoor areas are only in the schematic stage.
