Palác Euro, Commercial building in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic
Palác Euro is a modern commercial building at Václavské náměstí featuring a glass facade with curved corners and an undulating surface design. The ground floor holds shops while the ten floors above contain office spaces, with three more levels below ground for parking and storage.
Built in 2002, this structure stands where a three-story building once occupied the corner before demolition during Prague's metro expansion in the 1970s. The site remained undeveloped for decades before this contemporary design was realized.
The building sits on a busy square where daily life unfolds around its modern facade, creating a conversation between contemporary design and historic surroundings. Visitors walking past notice how the structure fits into the urban rhythm of the neighborhood.
The building at Václavské náměstí 2 is easily accessible from public transport stops in the area and features ground-level entries from the main plaza. Shopping areas on the lower floor have standard commercial hours while the office sections above require prior arrangement.
The facade incorporates a double-glazed ventilation system with adjustable golden vertical blinds that manage light and heat penetration throughout the day. This technical feature remains visible from the street and shapes the building's distinctive appearance.
