In 2023, the building underwent reconstruction of the facades and technologies.

The architectural and especially the material design of the administrative building of the Czech Statistical Office is based on the principle that it is a state building. The emphasis was placed especially on the entrance area, which is designed as a "court of honour with flags".

It is a composition of three main masses in the shape of the letter "H" with the dominant feature being the eleven-storey building A with a flagpole for the national flag on top of the building.

The buildings’ structure consists of a monolithic reinforced concrete skeleton with a slab with hidden grommets. The facades of the building are lined and insulated with suspended lightweight Cembonit facade panels. The wooden windows are made of high-quality europrofile, and the shading is provided by a combination of aluminium slats and prefabricated concrete awnings. In 2023, the building envelope, including the windows was completely replaced in order to meet the criteria for state subsidy for green buildings. The facade was newly designed with ceramic cladding, which was combined with alucobond panels and photovoltaics. At the same time, some internal parts of the building were modified in terms of operation and layout.

The public library has been adapted for digital operation. A solution was added for the children's group, including a playground on the roof of the central building. In addition, accommodation facilities for the non-Prague employees of the office were also added.

About the project:

The main objective of the demanding reconstruction was energy saving.

The main objective of the demanding reconstruction were to save energy, reduce operating costs and also improving the quality of the indoor environment and the working comfort of employees. Annual Savings of 3 297 GJ is similar to the annual heat and energy consumption of 80 average households. Over a period of 8 years, we expect total savings of more than 15 million crowns on operation costs.
Marek Rojíček, Chairman of the Czech Statistical Office
6,500 m² of thermal insulation,2,700 m² of ceramic tiles and 3,800 m² of composite boards have been installed on the maintenance-free facade. 16.5 km of load-bearing profiles are hidden under the shell, and over 200 thousand screws and rivets anchor the building. 40km of cables and 2,780 new LED luminaires were installed. The new surface area of the new windows is 2 598 m².
