Description
In the Libeň district of Prague, an attractive administrative and commercial centre has been built: Harfa is currently the largest Commercial Complex for Business and Entertainment, located close to the O2 Arena and the multifunctional O2 Universe. The complex comprises a shopping centre and an office center and is now complemented by the new «Harfa Business Center», short HBC. The architectural design for the
building is from the Prague studio ADR. The HBC offers 30,000 m2 of office space in various sizes.
The façade is enclosed by a modified curtain wall of fix-mounted horizontal panels, which provide additional glare and sun protection in the offices behind - but at the same time they also take on design functions. The post-rail-façade was fitted with the highly transparent COOL LITE® SKN 183 solar control glass in the toughened version II. With its outstanding energy performance and high colour neutrality, this efficient
special glass guarantees maximum office comfort. The triple glazing with PLANITHERM® XN and ECLAZ® ONE as counter panes also ensures optimum daylight values with their high light transmission values. A performance that is also convincing in terms of sustainability: the building received the LEED Platinum certificate
