City Element, Office building in Prague, Czech Republic.
City Element is an office building in Prague with a contemporary steel and glass structure featuring angular geometric forms. The building rises through multiple stories in a developing business district, providing workspace across various floor levels.
The building was designed by Czech architect Václav Aulický as one of his final projects. Aulický, known for creating the Žižkov Television Tower, applied his established design approach to this office complex.
City Element takes its name from the "City" concept devised in 1999 by Richard Meier & Partners for the Pankrác plain, commissioned by the ECM group. That plan also covered the renovation of the Motokov and Czechoslovak Radio towers, now City Empiria and City Tower. ECM's bankruptcy halted the scheme, and individual plots passed to different investors, some renamed, such as City Epoque becoming V Tower and City Deco becoming Trimaran.
The building is located in Prague's modern business district with convenient access to transportation networks. Visitors should note that this is a working office complex primarily designed for professional workspace.
City Element is the only building of the Meier "City" plan that kept its original project name; neighbours were renamed (City Epoque became V Tower, City Deco became Trimaran) or redesigned entirely (City Epoque Office became Main Point Pankrác). Its investor, the Austrian S+B Gruppe, bought the Trimaran and V Tower projects in 2014.
