The subject of the competition is the design of a new municipal spa for the town of Krnov on land in the northern part of the town next to the existing summer swimming pool. The land is owned by the city with a total area of 13 200 m2. The connection of the outdoor swimming pool with the new municipal spa will create a sports and relaxation center linked to the town's sports infrastructure along Petrovická Street. The new city spa includes a swimming pool (25 m), a relaxation pool, a sauna world, a fitness center, and additional services. The design includes a solution for parking and traffic connections to the site.
