Marshmallow will also be addressed by the Ministry for Regional Development

Prague - The investor who wants to build a new construction near the Anežka Monastery in the historic center of Prague has appealed to the Ministry of Regional Development. He disagrees with the fact that the city authorities have started reviewing the already issued zoning decision. This approach is considered illegal, as reported by ČTK from the appeal.
    The project, which people nicknamed marshmallow due to the originally proposed façade color, evokes strong emotions in Prague. The construction was approved by the building authority of Prague 1. Subsequently, the city authorities began to examine the zoning decision, which is a preliminary step to the already issued building permit. Furthermore, the Cultural Heritage Inspection of the Ministry of Culture is also dealing with the construction, as it was approached by the heritage association ASORKD.
    In the city center, hundreds of people gathered in protest against the construction in the past. The house was designed by architect Zdeněk Fránek, and the project has changed several times. The original version of the project from 2008, which included a glass façade, was rejected by the Ministry of Culture based on the opinion of the National Heritage Institute (NPÚ), leading to the cancellation of the permit granted by Prague's heritage authorities in 2010. However, the new project by the company Praga Progetti e Investimenti, with windows shaped like faces, was approved by both the NPÚ and the city heritage authorities, and on that basis, a building permit was issued. The author of the design rejects the criticisms of opponents, claiming that he never considered a façade in pink color, which gave the project its candy nickname.
