The Herold bakery is designed on a brownfield site in Brno-Cernovice. This project combines
functionality and aesthetics in an industrial environment where the goal is not only efficient
production but also a pleasant working environment for employees. The location of the building in
an industrial zone overlooking a natural area provides optimal conditions for the growth of the
company and a positive effect on the psyche of the employees.
The material design of the building combines modern design with functionality. The building
consists of a combination of two different masses - an office building, a production hall and a set
of three silos for flour storage. This dynamic composition creates a visually interesting impression
while allowing efficient use of space for industrial production. The longer side of the building is
oriented towards the urban greenery, which positively influences the working environment, while
the shorter side, with its representative façade, faces the backbone road and creates a visual
identity for the company.
The façade design of the building emphasizes the difference between the administrative and production
parts of the building. The colour and material zoning ensures a clear interface between these functions.
Window openings face the urban greenery and natural environment, promoting a pleasant working
environment and contact with nature.
The layout of the building has been designed with maximum efficiency and food production hygiene
standards in mind. The space is divided to separate the administrative and production staff, with visitors
entering the building through the vestibule between the administrative area and the changing rooms. The Lshape
created allows for a natural division of work flows. The building is thus designed to ensure the
efficient movement of materials and finished products, while meeting all the strict standards of food
production.
