Multifunctional Building Bělehradská, Prague 2

The site is located in an urban locality of unorganized apartment blocks with mixed function on the border of the area of the city centre, Vinohrady and Nusle. The building site itself borders one unfinished city block, then across Bělehradská Street with a part of the disused Nusle Brewery and from the north with the railway line.

The building is made up of a mass of three trapezoidal blocks, connected to each other via necks, which make the building a single unit.

The appearance of the building is based on its function – it is predominantly a glazed office building, but complemented by a regular vertical and horizontal grid, defining the floor plan and mass of the building and breaking away from the austere all-glass office cubes in the urban environment.

The irregular plan of the building is approximately 65 m × 17 m, with two underground floors for garages and technical facilities, three floors above ground for offices, studios and services and a fourth floor for studios, technical facilities and terraces.

The southern, eastern and western facades are composed of glass panels and a greyish raster of exposed concrete. The north elevations to the track are more enclosed, less glazed, with a vertical grid of sight concrete.  The flat roof terrace is complemented by a pergola with a field of continuing façade grid and encloses the mass of the building.

In the parterre of the building - the rear part - is designed small architecture with greenery, a rest area for administrative staff, possibly serving for a shop / service (café).

On the ground floor there are entrances to the building, for offices and services, at Bělehradská Street there is a reconstructed fuel station, with a service kiosk, which is part of the multifunctional building. At the rear, from Na Ostrůvku Street, a ramp leads to the first underground floor with parking, the second underground floor is connected to the parking by a car lift.
