新建的城镇图书馆选址于罗马天主教教区的闲置房屋，这里也曾被用作孤儿院、幼儿园和职业学校。除了图书馆之外，市政府还打算在这座房子内增设一个多功能厅、俱乐部设施以及妇产中心。鉴于旧教区房无法容纳所有的功能，市政府最终决定对其进行扩建。
A suitable place for the new town library was the unused house of the Roman Catholic rectory, in the past also used as an orphanage, kindergarten and vocation school. In addition to the library, the municipality intended to place a multifunctional hall, facilities for clubs and a maternity centre in the house. The former rectory could not accommodate all the functions, so it was decided to extend the building with an extension.

图书观的设计理念是打造一个由公共建筑和城堡花园组成的新型公共空间，并与充满活力的Vratislavice中心相连接。一个全新的广场应运而生，其灵感来自于公共建筑附近小广场的空间韵律。
The idea of the design is to create a new public place that will connect to the existing vibrant center of Vratislavice, defined by public buildings and the chateau garden. A new piazzetta is being created, inspired by the rhythm of small squares in the vicinity of the public buildings.

图书馆保留了老房子的原始特征——其深层地基创造了通过挖掘地面来打造一个半地下的空间的可能性。这样的设计使自然光可以透过宽敞的门户照入地下空间，挖掘出来的下沉空间也形成了新的广场。
The original character of the old house has been retained – its deep foundations have allowed for a semi-recessed floor to be created by weighing off the ground. The excavation allowed daylight in through generous portals and the excavated pit formed the base of the new plaza.

图书馆的首层是俱乐部，上层是儿童图书馆。西侧的教区长屋与现代风格的图书馆建筑相得益彰。这两座建筑通过地下室和二层的连桥相互连接。图书馆的规模、形态和选址受城堡花园和教区的文脉影响，同时考虑到树木保护区和基础设施的网络线路等因素。最终，形成了这样一栋地上三层、地下二层的狭窄紧凑的图书馆建筑。
The ground floor has been given over to clubs and the upper floor to the children’s library. On the west side, the rectory is complemented by the contemporary-styled library structure. Both buildings are connected in the basement and also by a bridge on the first floor. Its size, shape and location are based on the context of the chateau garden and the rectory, as well as the tree protection zones and infrastructure network lines. The result is a building with a narrow, compact three-story upper part and a two-story basement.

图书馆被整合到扩建部分的地上楼层中，其开放空间包括一个首层带露台的接待区、二层的画廊和拱形屋顶下的阅览室。地下楼层设有一个多功能厅，在连接两座建筑的前庭中设有一个小厅和衣帽间，形成一片入口公共区。
The library is integrated into the above-ground floors of the extension, whose open space principle accommodates a reception area with a terrace on the ground floor, a first-floor gallery and a reading room under an arched roof. The underground floors house a multifunctional hall with a small lobby and a cloakroom in a vestibule linking the two buildings, creating a common entrance area.

读者可以透过首层和上层的大玻璃窗尽览城堡花园的景色。阅览室的全景窗使读者与树木无界，让人产生置身于树冠里的感觉。
Through the large glass walls on the ground and upper floors, the library makes the most out of the views of the chateau garden. In the reading room, the contact with trees through the panoramic window is so close that readers feel like they are sitting inside the tree crowns.

室内裸露的混凝土和砖石砌体柔和地衬托着木制座椅和书架。这些设计创造了各种隐藏地点和角落，等待游客去不断探索和发现新的事物。
The exposed concrete and the brick and stone masonry of the interior are softly lined with wooden sedilia and bookshelves. These create all sorts of hiding places and nooks where the visitor can constantly discover something new.
