The VCES buildings enter the Building of the Year 2017 contest

Once again this year, our constructions are going to be compared with the competition, and the selection of the best projects implemented in the Czech Republic in the course of the last year.

The first success was the advancement of all three of our entries into a shortlist of 25 projects, which will be viewed by an expert committee that will pick the most successful realizations for the nomination for the Building of the Year title.

The jury was first presented with the project “Obecní dvůr” – the reconstruction and completion of a historical complex in Prague 1, which turned an unused space in the city centre into the address of above-standard residential housing.

Among our other buildings that aim at succeeding in this year’s competition, is also the 4BLOCK residential complex in Prague’s Vršovice, and the new building of the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics, which has supplemented the university campus of the Czech Technical University in Prague with another extraordinary structure.

VCES Building a New Hotel Complex in the Historic Centre of Prague

A new five-star hotel will be built next to the Old Town Square, intending to take advantage of the historic character of the area. The investor of this project, AKROTERION, has chosen a unique location in the heart of the city – between Celetná, Železná and Kamzíková streets – for its purpose. The new hotel will be created by redeveloping a complex of 8 historic buildings, which will eventually create a single unit while preserving the architecture and usefulness of all of the buildings. It will reflect the great variety of styles ranging from the Romanesque period through the Renaissance to the Baroque.
