Autodesk is changing its headquarters and moving to Danube House

The company Autodesk, a world leader in 2D and 3D design software for manufacturing, construction, media, and entertainment, announces a change of address for its Prague office. As of today, the company is located at a new address: Danube House, Karolínská 650/1, 186 00 Prague 8. Autodesk chose a building for its new headquarters that is exceptional for its architectural and low-energy design. The Danube House is part of the River City Prague project in the pleasant environment by the Vltava River. The company is also changing its contact numbers. The new connection to the reception is: tel.: 221 709 801 and fax: 221 709 803.

    “We decided to change our headquarters due to the growth of our company in the Czech market. One of the reasons we chose Danube House is that it is a great architectural work. It is a modern building that uniquely combines operational, technical, aesthetic, and ecological parameters of an office building. With its flexible spatial solution and perfect technical equipment, it excellently meets the operational requirements of a hi-tech company while also offering a work environment with a unique atmosphere,” comments the company's move to its new premises David Palas, Autodesk's director.

        Another reason that contributed to the decision for Danube House is the fact that Autodesk profiles itself globally as a leader in design software for construction and manufacturing with a focus on sustainable design as a promising solution to the most serious environmental issues, such as global warming. Danube House is part of a project that addresses the low-energy operation of the building, which saves both the environment and operating costs. Additionally, the building was designed from start to finish with the help of the latest design software products from Autodesk. The architectural studio A.D.N.S., which, together with the London office KPF, designed the building, is among Autodesk's significant customers and uses its software solutions.
