Office complex in Šumavská street, Wolkenkratzer in Tschechien
The office complex on Šumavská street comprises three distinctive towers reaching nearly 70 meters high that define Brno's skyline. The buildings feature rectangular forms made of steel and glass with numerous windows and are connected through a shared entrance hall.
The complex was designed in the 1960s when Brno developed many new office spaces for businesses and government offices. The buildings replaced an empty lot and led to the creation of Náměstí Joliot Curie square, with the towers framing it.
The complex takes its name from the street where it stands and shapes the appearance of the Veveří neighborhood through its distinctive towers. Today it serves as a workplace for many people and is a daily reference point for residents and visitors to the area.
The building complex is easy to reach by public transport as the Klusáčkova stop nearby is served by trams and buses. From there you can walk to the complex and explore the modern towers and surrounding development.
One of the buildings was influenced by modern New York architectural styles, featuring a distinctive steel frame and glass facade that reflected international design trends. This approach was innovative for Brno at the time and showed the city's connection to global architecture.
