Situated in an underutilized area just outside the city center, River City Prague is a mixed-use development consisting of offices and commercial buildings each named after a major river. ARCADIS provided project management services for the construction of six buildings within the €120 million complex, delivering modern, environmentally friendly facilities that provide a foundation for future urban growth. The most recently completed is Amazon Court, a multi-functional administrative building that combines modern office space with an inviting public court and striking views of the River Vltava.

The building is a success both architecturally and as a model of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. The flexible and inviting office space surrounds a large atrium, which features water, gardens and intimate relaxing terraces connected by internal bridges. An underground air channel system improves indoor air quality. Energy systems that have proven successful in other ARCADIS-designed River City buildings were also implemented in Amazon Court. The combination of energy efficiency and high-quality design led to the project’s designation as the Office Future Project 2008, awarded by MIPIM, Europe’s largest property market.
