Rudolfinum is a national cultural monument that needs special care.

The accessibility of the terrace includes a new design of entrances and the creation of a flat terrace area, at a new level above the original height-variable roof.

The terrace will be covered with granite tiles on pads and will be supported by a steel structure. The wire glass skylights illuminating the respiriums on the 2nd floor will be removed and replaced with walkable- glass. The door to the terrace will be raised and in the existing shaft a new elevator will be installed, which will be extended to the terrace level. In the direction of the windows of Dvořák Hall, the terrace will end in two steps to ensure the access of light to the hall. The balustrade will be finished with a glass railing to protect the monument. 

At CASUA, we have created our own BIM standard which include a data standard, element libraries, manuals, etc. to make our work on projects more efficient. The standard reflects our many years of experience with the BIM method and the software used. We use current advanced tools and methods such as laser scan and virtual reality. We try to create paperless projects, where all participants in the construction process work only with digital documentation. Our designers and architects are equipped with their own tablets, through which they have access to current up-to-date documentation.
