The observatory is located in a former quarry on Špičák in the Orlické Mountains, where gabro was once mined. The building emerges naturally from the rock, blending with its texture and connecting architecture with the site's geological history. The lowest floor offers accommodation, social areas, and labs for education and research. The second floor serves the expert team, with offices and computing rooms controlling advanced space telescopes. The top floor, with rotating domes, is dedicated to space observation. The design respects the quarry’s shape and uses natural materials. Raw concrete harmonizes with the gabro rock, linking humans, landscape, and the universe.
