The architectural design adapts to the industrial character of the surrounding buildings. The ground floor of the building is occupied by typical urban retail spaces. The circulation core is located in the center of the layout. The basement not only accommodates the mentioned functions but also provides space for technical facilities. Natural light illuminates the rentable spaces in the basement through sky wells spanning the entire eastern and western lengths of the building. The other floors consist of open-space rental areas, with the flexibility to be divided into units according to the needs of individual tenants. The interior layouts of the rental spaces can be easily reconfigured within specified modules, thanks to a raised floor system and movable partition walls.
The facade is designed using an external thermal insulation composite system with a final two-layer plaster that mimics the appearance of concrete. It is artistically divided by vertical and horizontal grooves into smaller modular sections. The eastern and western facades of the building feature slightly extruded golden bay windows with large-format glazing. Each bay window glass piece measures 3.1 × 5.6 meters and is made of insulating double glazing with a special layer to prevent excessive heat transfer into the interior. The window fillings are part of an aluminum system, with fixed sections except for narrow vertical ventilation flaps. All windows are equipped with exterior aluminum blinds.
Regarding the building’s technology, heating and cooling are provided by heat pumps located on the roof, supplemented by a connection to a hot water supply. The building also features an air-conditioning unit with heat recovery, solar panels, and exterior blinds to prevent overheating during summer. The entire system is automatically controlled to maintain an ideal indoor environment throughout the year. For rainwater management, there is an accumulation and retention tank that utilizes water for irrigation within the complex and for the green roofs on the Czechner building.
