Luxurious Villa Lanna

This building is based on a historicising style, a quiet reminder of the grandiose artistic style, and was entrusted to an expert in italicising architecture. Antonín Vítězslav Barvitius along with his brother-in-law attempted to create a comprehensive work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk), marrying architecture with exceptional, rich ornamentation. This led to the construction of a building for a private life of luxury, which also offered the option of representative premises and offices for various companies. 

Striking decorativism of the luxury interior

This corresponds to the artistically inclined personality of Mr Lanna, who was a passionate arts and antiques collector. The interior frescoes refer to antique and mythological roots, and the author is the subject of dispute – it could even be Viktor Barvitius.

The luxurious character and highly aesthetic appeal of the building is evident from the first view of the façade, featuring stucco bas-reliefs, or on the six frescoes in the loggia on the upper floor overlooking the garden. The central motif consists of erots, ancient guardians of the location, who not only played but also performed various adult labours.

Because the building was purchased by the Academy of Sciences in 1957, its beauty did not fade, but instead was preserved and we can enjoy its picturesqueness to this day.

Vila Lanna and the present

The ground floor of the villa features a foyer with a reception desk and two social halls. The smaller hall (originally a billiard room) with a maximum seating capacity of 18 is ideal for smaller private events, while the larger social hall is suitable for conferences, weddings and other celebrations. The building also houses a permanent exhibition of works by famous Czech printmaker Oldřich Kulhánek.

Fairy-tale accommodation

The luxury is not intended only for accidental guests, but also for those who wish to enjoy the building’s beauty for a longer time, with accommodation in single and double rooms of superior quality.

Villa Lanna is worth a visit. It offers a peaceful garden, comforting luxury and an unforgettable “historical” experience.

Built right next to the former Twin Towers, the World Trade Centre destroyed in the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. The new skyscraper is also known as the Freedom Tower and looks to the future with hope.

One World Trade Center

The Freedom Tower is the new icon of the country. It is a luxurious architectural monument, which has restored the luxurious New York skyline following the tragic event. While the memorial located nearby is sculpted out of the ground, speaks of the past and remembers, the World Trade Center speaks of the future, hope and rises proudly upwards in a blaze of light. 

8 interlocking triangles

The new building evokes the slender, tapered triangular forms of major New York icons such as the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building. It has replaced almost one quarter of the offices destroyed in 2001.

The tower rises from a square base, with its edges angled backwards, to create a flat shape of 8 elongated isosceles triangles, with a perfect octagon at the centre.

The building was ceremonially opened in 2014 and designed by architect David Childs from the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill studio. The company is one of the world’s largest project design companies engaged in architecture. It was also involved in the Burj Khalifa building, the tallest skyscraper in the world.

Luxurious views, restaurants and a unique 64th floor for employees

The building is 541.3 tall and has 104 floors. There is a luxurious viewing platform at a height of 387 metres, and a restaurant with first-class services on the 101st floor. The 64th floor is a paradise for employees who work in the skyscraper and their visitors. One World Common is a luxurious space with a café, game room and relaxation zone, allowing for the birth of creative ideas and interesting collaborations.
