  • Building ALPHA
Building Alpha has four basements and eight above ground storeys. Located in the most prominent position of the whole site, it is clearly visible from both Prague’s trunk road (5. května Street) and Vyskočilova Street. It is founded on piles and a raft, which merges into the cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure, with the casing made of glass and titanium zinc. The interior atrium creates a pleasant and intimate atmosphere due to the generously glazed light well, which drops from the top through each of the storeys. The curved south-west façade facilitated the attachment of the exceptionally designed logo of the anchor tenant, Microsoft, directly to the casing. One cannot fail to notice the intriguing large atrium with a negative pitch angle through all the levels. Absolutely unique in Prague is the application of pre-oxidised titanium zinc for the curved south-west façade. The roof garden has a terrace, a lot of quiet places, observation points and secluded spots with benches. The complex includes exotic woody plants, stylised little bridges made of African timber and stylised lighting. Wheelchair access is naturally available too. The Alpha offers almost 13,000 square metres of rentable area, and over 220 parking places.
