WHAT WE DO
The initial idea of the partners to save some fragments found in the DOV industrial zone became a matter of the heart.
Acquiring the properties, raising funds to revitalise the works, arranging for a historic building recording survey to designing the new functions, all this has been carried by the desire for maximum sustainability and reasonable use of space. We care about sustainable, green solutions that work well and look great.
Today, this revitalised sight recalls its former historical function, but even more: it has been converted into a meeting place for creative people, discussions and presentations and a laboratory for growing innovation, experimentation and creativity.

ADMIRE
AI (OpenAI) was right in that we focus on technology, innovation and sustainability. However, we believe that knowledge of history is an advantage for a successful future. We show a piece of the story of how energy was generated in the past, introducing the pathway of coal. The tippler and the grinding mill are part of the Hlubina Mine, Blast Furnaces and Coking Plant of Vítkovice Ironworks – a nationally listed site. For the last period of their existence – nearly 70 years – they have formed a link in a closely interconnected technological system. If you come and visit the Path of Coal exhibit, you can reflect on the industrial past.
MAKE YOUR OWN PRESENTATION
We offer premises of the former tippler and grinding plant, now redesigned and accessible, for your events and projects, be it artwork displays or presentations, that relate to issues of the world we live in.
