ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Kasárny Zátiší project was designed to meet this trend. The complex was created in collaboration with the renowned architectural studio Acht, led by architect Václav Hlaváček, who ensured a functional and premium design.
All spaces are designed with an emphasis on flexibility and allow for customization according to the individual needs of tenants, whether for small businesses or larger companies.
The complex also includes outdoor areas rich in greenery, water features, and paths for pedestrians and cyclists, promoting an active and healthy lifestyle for employees. It’s very easy to go for a short walk or enjoy a moment of relaxation during the day. There will also be restaurants and cafés in the area, providing an ideal space for quick business meetings or lunch breaks.
Thanks to this unique combination of modern design, sustainable environment, and high functionality, Kasárny Zátiší offers not only a place to work but also a space for business growth and development.
Kasárny Zátiší represents a pilot project inspired by practices in the Netherlands and Germany, which will be unique in CTP’s portfolio. Its aim is to respond to current market demand and create a space where collaboration and connections between entrepreneurs and various sectors can flourish.
It will offer a combination of innovative manufacturing, development, research, and service functions, all meeting the highest environmental standards. We are building something exceptional – a place where history merges with the future, providing our clients and the local community with a place for development and growth.
As the name suggests, Kasárny Zátiší involves transforming an old area of former Pilsen barracks. It is a 64,540 m² site that has decayed for decades. We have revitalized the area and plan to build a total of six buildings here. In the rear, manufacturing spaces will be located to match the technical orientation of this section, while representative spaces will be offered at the front. Here, a completely new type of space, called CTWorkshop, will be developed. The multi-story building will especially benefit small entrepreneurs. Its design draws inspiration from practices in the Netherlands and Germany, and it is unprecedented in the Czech Republic.
The entire CTPark Plzeň has a strategic location near the center of Pilsen, with public transport available and easy access to the E50/D5 highway to Germany and Prague. Many major international companies have located various types of business operations here. The park is ideal for companies establishing centers for advanced technology, research, and development in the region.
The Kasárny Zátiší in Pilsen has a long and diverse history that reflects political and military changes in Czechoslovakia and Europe. The complex was established in the 1930s as part of a broader program to build military facilities. At that time, Czechoslovakia, as a young state in the interwar period, aimed to strengthen its defense capabilities. Kasárny Zátiší was built in the southern part of Pilsen, strategically located near the Bory airfield, providing essential logistical and technical support.
During World War II, when Czechoslovakia was occupied by Nazi Germany, the barracks were taken over by the German army. Pilsen, as an important industrial center, was a key point for war operations. The German army used the barracks for housing troops and supporting the Bory airfield, which was vital for Luftwaffe operations. After the war, in 1945, Pilsen was liberated by the American army, but the barracks remained under Czechoslovak military control, who repurposed it for their needs.
In the post-war years, Czechoslovakia continued to use the Zátiší barracks primarily for soldier accommodation and military training. During this period, the barracks witnessed additional changes in military infrastructure, especially after the communist regime's rise in 1948. The military became increasingly centralized under Soviet influence, affecting the management and use of the barracks.
During the Cold War, the barracks continued to serve as a military facility, but their importance gradually declined. Facing new challenges and the need to modernize its infrastructure, the army began relocating units to other facilities, and the Zátiší barracks started to deteriorate. After the political changes and democratization in 1989, the Czechoslovak army underwent significant restructuring, leading to the abandonment of many military sites, including the Zátiší barracks.
In the 1990s, the barracks were permanently decommissioned and abandoned. The buildings decayed, and the land became a neglected brownfield. The area was not systematically utilized and served only limited purposes. During this period, various proposals for its use emerged, but none materialized. The city of Pilsen sought solutions for revitalizing this area, but a concrete redevelopment plan emerged only in 2023 due to CTP’s interest.
Kasárny Zátiší, which once served as a significant military base and an essential support for aviation in Pilsen, has thus entered a new phase of its existence.
