The Altum complex is to be situated on the outskirts of the village Slovensky Grob. In the attempt to fill in the panorama of Slovensky grob, the proposed design consists of a volume with multiple slanted roofs, that from a distance can be perceived as a natural part of the rural landscape. An open park is designed to bridge the distance between the complex and the main road, creating a semi-public space. The concept of uninterrupted integration into the country required an innovative approach to the distribution of the program within the complex.

Through the entrance with a modern villa look, both the ground floor with conference rooms and the accommodation on the upper floor can be accessed. To match the requirements for both educational and spiritual activities, we chose the time-proven square atrium layout, the centre of which “hides” a chapel. This solution helps in not competing with the historical chapel of the Virgin Mary of the Seven Sorrows, located close to the planned building site of the Altum centre.
