An urban-planning study for the area “U nemocnice” (At the hospital), carried out by the design studio Rudiš-Rudiš architekti in 1994, predominantly featured building plots for housing. However, space was set aside for the completion of a care home. In 1996, the town council approached three architectural design studios: a local architect Jan Gabrhel, the town architect Zdeňka Vydrová, and Architektonická Kancelář Burian – Křivinka. The latter eventually quit the competition, whilst the former design was judged to be the winner.
Vydrová's design was based on a simple cubic mass, contrasting with the existing, lavishly shaped building, whereas Gabrhel's design merged with the building's basic outlines.
Segmented, pointed and round shapes featuring in the partitioning of the building's facade, its floor plan and outlines still take their cues from Postmodernism. The main facade, facing northwards towards the town, is dominated by a segmented, glazed area reaching up to the fifth floor. This construction feature marks the important social hubs: the reception and information centre on the ground floor and, on the other floors, relaxation zones in shared corridors serving as meeting places for inhabitants. The designer set the residential facade towards the sunny side of the building, breaking it up with a vertical strip of curved balconies. An avant-corps, with circular windows and a staircase, is an independent section of the building and faces eastwards towards the main road.
Altogether, the building contained thirty-two one to three-room barrier-free flats and included headquarters for care services and a canteen, also open to the public, on the ground floor.
In 2008, the building ceased to function as a care home and was transformed into an apartment block for specific purposes.
