This project provides seven floors of prestigious office space, three levels of flagship retail and two basement levels of parking at a landmark corner site on Wenceslas Square.
The project is designed and developed very carefully to respect the urban, historical and social significance of this prominent location, the 3-D facade system is a first for the Czech Republic.
The project is also be sustainable and energy-efficient, incorporating intelligent, integrated building technical systems.
The Flow Building is the first in the Czech Republic to achieve a BREEAM Outstanding rating, the highest BREEAM rating under the latest version of the BREEAM International New Construction scheme.
The building has 3 basement floors with 129 parking places including facilities for cyclists and 9 floors.
There are placed 50 of 22KW electric charging stations and 3 of 150KW fast charging stations in the garages.
The building uses the latest available technologies and passive elements to reduce energy consumption (active façade elements, VRV heat pump system, triple glazing, energy-saving elevators with recuperation and DSC systems). A range of materials are certified to ISO14001 standards and many of the finishes in landlord areas comply with the EU VOC emission levels. Rainwater is collected in a retntion tank but there is no irrigation system installed. Acoustic is well-being ensured for the shell & core.
