EURO Palace

The transparent glass wall, which has an 'aerodynamically-curved' shape, defines the immaterial corner volume - its delicacy is possible due to the double-glass façade with ventilated airspace. By contrast, a second part of the project presents the corner as a cubical, austere body, which is formed by a layer of adjustable golden screens. The screens regulate the interior's luminous comfort. In the most exposed spot of the building, the inner cube breaks through the calm horizontal body and creates a dominant tower - its height equivalent to the nearby Koruna Palace. The light glass coat, which 'calms down' the general effect of the building, hides the administrative mass in relation to its neighbouring, historical buildings (text from architects' website).
