Award-winning offices.
The Park is an office project located in Prague-Chodov and comprising a total of twelve buildings. Construction work on the first building started in October 2001, and the last building was completed in December 2008. The office buildings are arranged in two rows, separated by a 22m wide boulevard. This area includes an enclosed section with water features, a central square with green spaces, a waterfall, a golf course and a small restaurant with a wooden terrace.
Each building has four to five upper floors and features an H-shaped floor plan. This layout made it possible for the atriums to be designed as attractive spaces containing water features and lush vegetation. The whole height of the buildings is protected from the noise of the nearby motorway by a raised winter garden, which is illuminated with coloured lighting at night. The façades of all the buildings were executed as modular curtain-wall façades, with the sole exception of the conference centre in building SO 2.
This architecturally unusual office complex has already become a landmark in the Prague district of Chodov, and was awarded first prize in the “Best of Realty 2004” architecture competition.
