Parkview

The Parkview project is the second project of famous architects atelier Richard Meier & Partners LLP, New York, USA in the Prague district of Pankrác. Together with their first project the neighbouring building and character-like building City Green Court – forms an important part of the modern development of the Pankrác plain. Typical for the façade of Parkview is an architectural and technical rendering of vertical shielding elements. The layout and colour treatment connects to the neighbouring City Green Court building, which also uses the dominant effect of vertical opaque strips. The use of perforated panels in the case of the Parkview façade and their suspension in front of the glazed units gives the façade greater airiness and technical expression. The technical interest is that the shading is not separately anchored to the supporting structure of the building, but is fully integrated into the façade structure. This solution helped to keep all the advantages of a modular facade, especially the speed and smoothness of assembly, without affecting the thermal technical parameters of the building envelope.
