Butterfly Karlín, Modern commercial building in Karlín, Czech Republic
The AFI Karlin Butterfly features two connected wings with facades containing 40,000 potted plants and metal panels for energy efficiency.
Completed in 2018, the building stands on former industrial grounds that marked the transformation of Karlín from manufacturing to contemporary urban space.
The entry lobbies showcase glass sculptures by artist Maxim Velcovsky depicting water drops and commemorating important figures from Karlín's history.
The structure contains four seasonal gardens representing winter, summer, spring, and fall, with each providing different public spaces for community gatherings.
The central atrium functions as a gathering space where indoor greenery meets architectural innovation through a light-filled multi-purpose environment.
