location: Orlik nad Vltavou Castle Courtyard, South Bohemia, Czech Republic
design and realization: spring 2000
client: Karel Schwarzenberg
project team: Marek Chalupa, Stepan Chalupa – d u m architekti
construction: Kompakt, s r.o., Pribram; Omega 99 spol. s r.o.

Toilets for visitors of the Castle Orlik nad Vltavou are a building inside a bulding. A new construction made of artificial black stone is embedded into the Castle´s vaulted rooms with white plaster. It divides the original space into spaces outside and inside the new structure. Thus a basic corridor inside the new building was created, as well as a row of small cabins in the interspace of the new and original construction. The smooth polished surface of monolithic construction made of black artificial stone carries on light very well and it is in a contrast to the white soft matte plaster of the historical rooms.
