Roztyly Plaza: An Example of Exceptional Administrative Architecture Awarded the Estate Awards

Awards and Recognition

The Roztyly Plaza building was completed in the spring of 2024 and just a few months later managed to enchant the expert jury of the Estate Awards competition, which aims to highlight exceptional development projects. The award was given for the combination of advanced sustainability features, efficient use of space, and meticulously thought-out design. An interesting component of the building is also the artwork – a light object in the foyer and a pulsating fountain in front of the entrance. The jury was particularly captivated by the central glass atrium with water features, artworks, relaxation zones, and interior greenery. These are not only aesthetic elements – such a conceived environment has a direct impact on the well-being, creativity, and productivity of employees. The magnificent terrace also offers space for relaxation, meetings, or informal gatherings in the open air.

"The design of the building is a hybrid architectural form that combines orthogonal and organic shaping. The lines of the building's footprint integrate well into the shape of the site and offer a rational solution for office space layouts; the curved shapes at the corners of the building refer to the surrounding nature of Kunraticky Forest. This principle also allows for a clear distinction between the main entrance of the building and operational parts, such as the garage entrance or loading areas," comments the architectural concept of the project by Ing. arch. Jan Aulík from Aulík Fišer Architects, the firm responsible for the architectural design of the building.

Perfect Connection of Location and Functionality

The location of the Roztyly Plaza building was strategically chosen – right next to the Roztyly metro station and on the main highway access to Prague. However, the uniqueness of the building lies not only in its location and respect for the landscape character of the nearby forest. Its design offers an inspiring space for work and business, blending aesthetics, comfort, and modern technologies. In such a large office building, it is necessary to run hundreds of kilometers of cables. To keep them organized and functioning reliably, special systems are used for their storage, which can be run visibly on the surface or hidden under the floor. If the cables are placed under the floor, they can be routed at necessary points using floor boxes. These boxes allow easy and safe connections for electricity and data exactly where they are needed in the office, while also not disrupting the interior appearance.

Necessary outputs subsequently reach the surface via floor boxes. Hager floor boxes offer an elegant and practical solution for connecting electricity and data directly on the floor. They are designed with an emphasis on durability and safety, making them ideal even for busy commercial spaces. Thanks to a modular system, they allow easy installation and adaptation to specific requirements. And it is precisely Hager’s floor boxes that smartly accommodate power and data outlets in the Roztyly Plaza building. The floor boxes not only come in various sizes and shapes but can also visually blend with the chosen flooring thanks to sophisticated lid customization. "The cherry on top for cabling solutions in offices can be various cable and socket outputs, such as design columns at each workstation. Unsightly bundles of cables belong to the last century! Today's possibilities in constructing commercial spaces are nearly limitless, and everyone can choose the best solution from the rich offerings," explains Thomas Grund, the CEO of Hager's branch in the Czech Republic.

The Roztyly Plaza project represents a modern administrative architectural approach that connects aesthetic values with thoughtful functionality. For architects, this project is not only an inspiring reference but also proof that quality design, sustainability, and economic sense can go hand in hand. This building sets a standard for future projects and shows the direction that modern administrative buildings should take.
