Florentinum, Modern office complex in New Town, Czech Republic.
Florentinum is a modern office building with nine floors arranged around a central interior plaza. The complex integrates office space with retail shops and a planted garden that provides a breathing space within the structure.
The site previously held the Česká typografie building from the 1980s, which housed the daily Rudé právo and later titles such as Hospodářské noviny. Penta Investments bought it in 2010 and demolished it in autumn 2012. Construction of Florentinum began in March 2012, approval came in October 2013, and the first tenants moved in January 2014. CEFC bought the complex in November 2016.
The central piazza serves as a gathering point where people move between shops and offices throughout the day. This shared interior space shapes how visitors and workers experience the building as a connected whole.
The complex lies between Na Poříčí and Na Florenci streets, near Masaryk railway station. Its inner square with the Desfourská zahrada connects the two streets. The underground garage has 602 parking spaces, 55 of them public. The office wings are entered through the inner square.
The garden inside the block is named Desfourská zahrada, not Desfour, and it is a public square with greenery linking Na Poříčí and Na Florenci streets. The office wings are entered through this inner square, so passers-by cross it rather than discovering it by chance.
