There is no more prestigious address for the company in the Czech Republic than Wenceslas Square in Prague. It is the place where the history of this country was formed and it is also the absolute center of the city. In its upper part, on the left hand the unforgettable statue of St. Wenceslas, you will find a large house House at the Swan.
Project:
„House at the Swan“ – Wenceslas Square 48
Since the 14th century, there was a brewery with a pub that was named “U Šrámů” until the 19th century. When a new two-storey main building with two courtyard wings was built in 1835, the house was already called “The Swan”. Since 1853, it was the seat of the Czech Agricultural Council, which raised it by another 3rd floor.
In 1957 a “Jizera” machine was set up on the ground floor. Unfortunately, the entire ground floor facade, including the original portal, was destroyed.
Even today, the building has a high historical and architectural value, mainly due to the street baroque facade with the lion emblem above the entrance. Already at the time of construction, the façade was valued for its high-quality craftsmanship. The house consists of three interconnected buildings with a total area of 4,800 m². The highest building has 5 floors, garages with 38 parking spaces are located underground.
The changes we reconstructed affected mainly the street facade and the internal common areas such as corridors and staircases. In this way, we have at least partially been able to correct the damage caused by the insensitivity of the previous regime, thus achieving greater harmony between the facade of the upper floors and the ground floor. Our purpose was to achieve a fresh, sophisticated and dignified expression that would correspond to the representative significance of this palace in such an exposed place as Wenceslas Square undoubtedly is.
There are apartments and commercial premises for offices with luxurious equipment and a beautiful view of Wenceslas Square. We can guarantee quality renovation. We, too, have moved the office of our entire Torino-Praga Invest company here.
