The basic urban planning concept for the site, including the transport skeleton, is based on the urban study of Brumlovka-Baarova from 1993. This defined the method of development for the specific middle ring of the city near the linear construction - the main road - in the broader area delineated by the streets of 5th May, Baarova, and Michelská.
The Gamma administrative building is part of the II. phase of the BB Center - the South phase, which is characterized by larger green areas, increased consideration for the surrounding environment, and other functional uses besides offices. The buildings of this phase create an urban structure with a higher proportion of park areas. In the center of the group of buildings, the Brumlovka sports center is being completed, featuring a pool, restaurants, and other services. The technical solutions for the new buildings are conceived to not burden even the more distant residential environment in any direction. To prevent noise reflection from traffic on 5th May Street, certain geometric shapes were already chosen in the urban planning concept.
The GAMMA Building is the largest of the buildings currently standing in the southern BB Center. Its size corresponds to a certain complexity in shape and spaces to ensure that the scale of the building is pleasant for its users. The position directly at the radial means visibility for tenants, but at the same time necessitates addressing the noise burden from this capacity communication. For an administrative building of this standard, there is no problem ensuring absolute protection of interior office spaces with modern facades; however, Gamma strives to consider its surroundings and deals very thoroughly with the possible reflection of noise from its facades to the opposite residential area.
The mandate for the facades adjacent to 5th May Street was to eliminate noise reflection to the opposite residential buildings across the 5th May communication and the precise control of meeting this requirement was measured before the building's construction and after its completion. The result of the solution, in collaboration with acoustics experts, was the creation of a sound-absorbing facade, curved in plan and divided into individual scales. The position of GAMMA directly on 5th May Street also influenced the basic layout concept of the building while creating a system of variously protected outdoor and indoor spaces. In addition to the spacious glazed atrium with artificially ventilated indoor environments, the building also offers park areas in the courtyard with water features and complete shielding from noise from 5th May Street.
The glazed atrium with a battery of panoramic elevators is the focal point of the building. In this space, besides the LOBBY, relaxation areas with live trees, an entrance to the restaurant, and espresso are designed. Greenery plays an important role in the concept of the entire building. In addition to the greenery in the above-mentioned glazed atrium, there are other green areas designated along with the water feature for the relaxation of employees in the courtyard area. Finally, the building also includes park areas in the northern forecourt, including a pedestrian zone connecting the building to Vyskočilova Street. The system of greenery also includes the greenery of the roof garden on the lower part of the building.
The building has 10 above-ground and 3 underground floors. The GAMMA building is designed similarly to the other administrative buildings of the opposite BB Center in the standard of contemporary administrative buildings with the appropriate quality of lighting, forced ventilation, and cooling of the indoor environment.
The predominant function of the GAMMA building is administrative; on the ground floor, in addition to the entrance areas of the building, there will be a French restaurant, a café, and small retail spaces.
