House for Julie, the first children’s hospice in the Czech Republic, is located on the grounds of the Kociánka Retirement Home in Brno. The hospice provides palliative and respite care, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and comprehensive family care. It’s a refuge, a place where one can experience the most difficult moments but also find peace, relief, mutual support or solitude. It’s a place for everyday life and joyful gatherings, too. Despite its size, the building appears quite inconspicuous, set carefully into the existing naturally formed amphitheatre of the park and organized around a central courtyard with mature trees and a small pond. All common spaces, as well as private children’s rooms, are oriented towards this central green space. A walkway on the roof leads to a hilltop meditation spot, easily accessible at any time, from the parents’ rooms on the second floor.
