"We are in the center, three
minutes from Wenceslas Square, yet it's still quiet," says
Renáta Kodadová, lawyer and marketing manager for Skanska Property.
The majority of office space in the building, designed by architectural
studio Loxia, is located in the recently-built modern section, situated
next to the reconstructed, historical portion of Bredovský Courtyard.
Straight, right-angled lines are everywhere
but the resulting feel is not a cold one. The Savoy chairs
are by Suma Interier..

The Vilagrasa coat rack in
the reception area is from a Spanish firm in Barcelona. |
The atypical reception desk is customized,
while most of the other furniture in the offices is made
by Kinnarps. The unobtrusive offices are revitalized and
lightened by vibrantly-colored paintings. Those located
in the reception area are by Milena Dobšíková; most of the
others are by Jan Říha.

The dominating element of
the modern section is a glass hall, with a reception and a couple
of elevators on each side. It evokes a clean and serious impression,
yet avoids being dull. |
The old and new buildings are linked - their
elements compliment each other harmoniously.
