In the historic center of Prague, office spaces aren’t opening very often. It’s not hard to guess why. Complicated reconstructions are usually costly and investments associated with establishing and running such an office usually exceed the budgets of interested parties. Long story short, building offices in historic buildings is usually a risky business.
But how does it look when it works out? Something like this: 9 floors, more than 90 office spaces with 3-50 seats, 17 meeting and conference rooms, 4 event spaces, 17 telephone boxes, 7 kitchens, and 130 m2 of terraces with an unparalleled view.
In other words: Scott.Weber Workspace on Náměstí Republiky 7, Prague 1.
Although there are many differences between our new lifestyle center and standard premium flexi offices, the key aspects stay the same: our offices are always fully equipped, which means there are no initial investments, and our clients keep paying only for services they actually use. In short, the coffee is still on us.
The Best Possible Address
You can enjoy the coffee and more on one of our rooftop terraces, from which you can see all the colorful roofs of Old Town as well as Prague Caste and Petřín Lookout Tower. Can you imagine a better place for an informal meeting with a client or after-lunch relaxation?
Speaking of lunch, you can get just about anything for it. In the building itself, there are many options to choose from, but if you decide to venture out, your options will become limitless. The Kotva department store is right next door, the PALLADIUM is across the street and the Municipal House is a few doors over. Right next is the Powder Tower with no restaurants, but gazing upon its historical beauty will always be inspirational.
A Place That Will Write Your History
But history is present in every wall of the Náměstí Republiky 7 building itself. It was built in 1905 as an Allianz department store and later used by insurance companies, banks, political parties, and even as a showroom of Laurin & Klement (today’s Škoda Auto). At every point in time, business history was writing itself here.
However, the building is also interesting from an architectural point of view. The original neobaroque building designed by Arnold Heymann was later modified several times, with the biggest modification done by Ernst Mühlstein and Victor Fürth. It was this modification that added the grand portico that still decorates the main entrance.
Thanks to the thorough, but still delicate reconstruction done by the Crestyl company, the history was preserved also inside the building. It’s hidden in historical elements repurposed as a part of Scott.Weber Workspace interiors, which were designed in cooperation with Chapman Taylor. You can look forward to the original light fixtures, grand spiral staircase, or beautiful mirror wall.
You Won’t Want to Leave
Because the historical character of the building has been preserved, it still boasts high ceilings, carefully refurbished doors, wooden floors, and big windows that let in lots of natural light. Not even modern necessities such as individually controlled lighting and air conditioning, top-notch IT and A/V equipment, or comfortable elevators don’t take away from the splendid atmosphere of the building. Quite the opposite, this unique fusion of inspirative past and pulsing present is only magnifying it.
It’s only a step away from line B & tram stop (both Náměstí Republiky) or Masarykovo nádraží.
