Luxury footprints of history

While walking through Old Prague, you can see a number of artistic sites across the centuries. From the historical point of view, memorable for this town quarter is year 1338, when building of the town hall commenced, which was placed in the Old Town Square along with the astronomical clock, an unprecedented and luxurious curiosity. It is a sought-after dominant feature of the Gothic character not only due to the distinct tower but also due to the sophisticated and luxurious annexes that resulted in a unique building.

Sightseeing of the Old Town

After seeing the town hall, your sight can also focus on other important architectural achievements – U Minuty House will surprise you with its Renaissance façade, while in the heart of Old Town Square stands the monument of Jan Hus. At the Municipal House you can admire the ornate beauty of Art Nouveau. Relax and harmony can be found in the sacral buildings - the Church of St. Nicholas, the Church of Our Lady before Týn.

Historical corners

The picturesqueness of this part of Prague is also created by buildings with interesting features such as Ungelt. It served in the past as a courtyard with a customs house for foreign caravans. The duty was paid until the 16th Century. Since ancient times, the coronation route has been preserved, leading around many of Prague's Old Town monuments. The Powder Gate was the starting point of a parade leading to Prague Castle. The enumeration of the most interesting does not end here. Charles Bridge, Clementinum, buildings around the Old Town Square: all this tells of the Czech talent, of permanent values bequethed to the next generations.

The original cobblestones and intricate maze of alleyways, the secrets awaiting at each corner, historical buildings of immense value, luxurious walks with a hint of adventure: all this offers the Old Town in Prague, one of the most charming quarters in Europe.

A luxurious icon of pride

The Al Hamra Tower stands as an icon that symbolises Kuwait’s national pride. The shape of the building appears to be cut off from a prism with an empty centre, whereas each floor plate rotates counter-clockwise around the core. The result is a luxurious spiral geometry that stretches to the top.

The southern part of the façade exposing the central cavity is covered with stones with angular window slices to respond to the intense solar conditions of the area. The same material handling is also applied to enlarge walls that cover curved surfaces along the edges of the spiral cavity, without any windows opening. The concrete construction of these elements also allows them to act as a thermal mass wall, in order to slow down heat during the day and to release heat that was stored at night. The curved eastern, northern and western façades are housed in a visionary luxury glass and provide clear views of the surrounding city and of Kuwait Bay.

The technical parameters of the skyscraper are as follows: height 414 m., number of floors 80, number of lifts 43. The building was designed in 2005 and completed in 2011.

What is at the top?

At the top of the tower there is a 40-metre long space with a fine restaurant and a panoramic terrace that provides far-reaching views of the city. In order to create these unrestricted views, a bracket steel fastening system was used to support the roof and the façade glazing, thereby reducing the number of the columns that were required in the space. Do you experience that as representing luxury?
