properties than ever before, has been used to create an impressive art space and office complex in Prague. Developed by PPF Real Estate and CMC
architects, the modern building is both environmentally-friendly and visually stunning. The office complex provides 23,000 square metres of leasable units and consists of two separate buildings: ‘Gen’ is made up of three six-storey blocks connected into one structure; and the dynamic nine-storey ‘Art’ separates the busy traffic of Argentinská Street from the quieter residential area behind the complex.

centre of Prague and is located on a peninsula in a meander of the Vltava Rive. This quarter has some wonderful architectural
accomplishments including the prestigious DOX art centre and the reconstruction of an old brewery complex into offices. The latest completed project is the monumental ArtGen administrative centre, creating a place for work, art and leisure. Marketing Manager at Reynaers Rebecca Cope
said: “The CW 50-HI is a well-proven facade and roof system available in different glazing and design variants, including an extensive range of profiles. “The new system also offers varying levels of
fire resistance and thermal insulation, and can accommodate triple glazing, making it ideal for low-energy buildings. Other features include a parallel opening window, a top hung window, a hidden vent turn and tilt window, as well as a flush roof vent.”
