Top Tower - project of the tallest building in the Czech Republic

At the Nové Butovice metro station, the development company Trigema is preparing a project for the multifunctional high-rise building Top Tower. The project design is being contributed to by sculptor David Černý and architect Tomáš Císař from the studio Black n' Arch. According to initial estimates, the investment costs will amount to 2 billion crowns.

TOP TOWER in Prague 13 will connect to the new nearly kilometer-long local pedestrian zone, which leads from the Nové Butovice metro station through the central Sluneční náměstí to the Hůrka metro station. At the same time, it will stand almost next to the already realized project of the technology and information center Cyberdog, the sculpture Trifot by David Černý, and the residential area SMART by Trigema, which includes a gallery focused on contemporary modern photography, Czech Photo Centre.
The building will reach a height of 135 meters and will offer a publicly accessible observation deck at the highest point of the structure, which visitors will be transported to via a skip elevator. From the observation deck, nearly the entire perimeter of Prague will be visible, starting from Prague Castle, passing by the National Theatre, Vyšehrad, and Zbraslav.
The building anchored at a height of 125 m will be intended for rental housing, while the lower floors will host offices and spaces for a multifunctional cultural center connected to a publicly accessible rooftop garden. The ground floor and the second above-ground floor will primarily feature shops and service establishments. The underground levels will have capacity parking spaces that will also be shared with the general public, aimed at utilizing these spaces 24/7.
The investor, which is the development company Trigema, also plans to certify the TOP TOWER building with the LEED Gold certificate. It will be an energy-efficient building.
As demonstrated by the height study from the investor, the planned project will be located outside the protective zone of the urban heritage reserve and outside the area where high-rise buildings are prohibited. At the same time, from a city-wide perspective, it is positioned so that it will not be visible from the majority of places in the city center, and thus will not disrupt the historical panorama of the city.
