This diploma thesis deals with the adaptive reuse of a former border crossing facility on motorway D52 in Mikulov. Following the Czech Republic's accession to the Schengen Area in 2007, dozens of customs buildings lost their primary function and have remained unused despite their strategic location along major motorway corridors. The thesis examines the potential of a specific site and proposes its transformation into a multifunctional motorway node comprising a hotel, motel, restaurant with regional cuisine, a multipurpose market square, and fully publicly accessible sanitary facilities. The proposal is coordinated with the project documentation of the Road Directorate of the Czech Republic for the construction of motorway D52 and presents an alternative to the planned demolition of the existing structures. The project engages with the paradox of a place that historically served as a physical barrier between two states and transforms it into a space of encounter and cross-border exchange. The panoramic view of the Pavlov Hills and the South Moravian landscape is deliberately incorporated into the architectural design through an observation bridge connecting both buildings of the complex.
