Garden Towers, Residential complex in Prague, Czech Republic

Garden Towers, originally Residence Central Plaza, is the largest residential complex in Czechia, in Prague's Žižkov. It has 629 apartments and 71 non-residential units, plus three commercial spaces, in a five-storey base from which five eighteen-storey towers rise. Architects Eva Koláčková, Petr Veverka and Zdeněk Frey of Central Group designed it.

Central Group bought the site in 2009 together with a Telefónica office-building permit, then redesigned it for housing. Construction started in April 2014 with Metrostav as general contractor and was completed in 2016, built in one go without stages. The site had previously held a parking garage, warehouses and workshops.

The complex was designed by Central Group's own architects Eva Koláčková, Petr Veverka and Zdeněk Frey, and its name links it to the adjacent Central Park Praha project. The five towers rise from a shared five-storey base that holds the non-residential units and three commercial spaces.

The complex stands on a five-storey base from which five eighteen-storey towers rise; the three commercial units sit in this base, and the site is reached from the Žižkov streets around Ohrada. Urbanists note the grounds form a closed block that does not open onto the surrounding city, so approach it as a private residential area rather than a through route.

The site where the towers stand has groundwater levels rising up to 4.5 meters above the foundation base. This required engineers to design the entire structure with specialized waterproof concrete techniques to keep water out.
