This project focuses on the design of the new nearly-zero energy Guesthouse and Restaurant in Pasohlávky. The building is located next to the water reservoir, which is a popular holiday destination. It is designed as two separate functional units: the guesthouse and the restaurant, allowing each section to operate independently. The building is located in the village of Pasohlávky in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It is a standalone three-story structure with a basement, situated on nearly flat terrain near the water reservoir. The design incorporates a flat green roof equipped with transparent photovoltaic panels, a green terrace, outdoor parking, and an underground parking area. The restaurant includes both a dining terrace and a ground-level dining area, which has direct access from the pedestrian walkway that runs alongside the water reservoir. The guesthouse section offers several accommodation options, including a family apartment with two bedrooms and a living area with a kitchenette, double rooms, and an accessible room designed for guests with disabilities. Each unit features a private terrace with the views of the lake. The new Guesthouse and Restaurant is designed as a masonry structure built from ceramic blocks. The horizontal load-bearing elements consist of monolithic reinforced concrete slabs and beams, while the vertical load-bearing system is formed by monolithic reinforced concrete columns. The basement peripheral walls are constructed as watertight reinforced concrete. The building is insulated using the ETICS system with mineral wool. The structure is founded on watertight reinforced concrete foundation strips combined with pile foundations. The project documentation required for the project was prepared using AutoCAD, Archicad, VELUX, Teplo, Neprůzvučnost and Fire NX software tools. It contains detailed analyses, including fire safety evaluations, energy saving and heat protection assessment, acoustics and vibration assessment and daylighting assessment.

Process of defence
The student presented his work GUESTHOUSE AND RESTAURANT, PASOHLÁVKY, using a PowerPoint presentation. During the defence of the thesis, he stated: - Introdution, - AIM and Motivation, - Location and urban context, - Site plan, - Floor plans, - Section views, - Structural Solution, - Material solution, - Sustainability concept, - Energy efficiency, - Fire safety solution, - Conclusion, The student further clarified and answered the questions and comments of the supervisor and the opponent of the thesis: Opponent questions: 1. There are no entrance halls to the apartments. Is it okay like this? Wouldn’t it be better to have one? 2. Attic wall is made of 140 mm wide blocks. Is it enough? What kinds of loads will act at this position to the walls? 3. Why are there no rooms for hygiene available for the staff? 4. Why aren’t there rooms to store cleaning supplies on each floor? What would happen if the lift would be out of order for a week for example? 5. With respect to daylighting design, which rooms are required to be assessed, which not? And please conclude, whether the office spaces are daylit or not by comparing your calculations to requirements. Finally, further questions were submitted by the members of the Examination Committee: - What parameters will affect the attic wall? - How did you design the kitchen facilities? - How will dependencies within the cleaning rooms be addressed? - Which rooms meet the lighting requirements for offices? The student, who demonstrated a very good overview of the subject, provided expert opinions on all of the opponent's comments and responded very well to all questions posed by the committee members regarding the defended thesis.
