Imagine living in a tower bathed in sunlight. That’s the promise of the Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e. We are standing before the Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e in Prague’s Karl\u00edn district. This modern high-rise is also known as the Sun Tower in English.
The Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e is located near the Olympik Hotel. Construction took place between 2008 and 2011. The main developer was UNISTAV.
Originally, the Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e was designed to have 30 apartments. These apartments were spread across 21 floors. However, not all units sold. Some floors now function as offices.
The Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e boasts a full glass facade. Aluminum sunshades cover the glass. Many compare its appearance to Prague’s Dancing House.
Bo\u0159ek \u0160\u00edpek designed the interiors. He described it as avant-garde postmodern. The Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e stands 70 meters tall.
The location of the Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e has faced some criticism. It is near a large bus parking area for three hotels. These are the Olympik, Tristar and Artemis hotels. A major intersection and a railway corridor are also nearby. These factors contribute to noise and dust.
Moreover, the Olympik Hotel blocks northern views toward the Vltava River. The hotel is 73 meters tall. Despite these issues, the Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e won awards. It received two Real Estate Project of the Year awards in 2011.
The Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e offers a unique living experience. It features a Finnish sauna and an infrared sauna. These are in the building’s common areas. Residents also benefit from two passenger elevators. There are also two car elevators. Security is ensured with a camera system. Access is controlled by electronic chips. A reception desk is also present.
The apartments range in size. They span from 56 to 350 square meters. Some apartments have balconies or large terraces. One even includes a large garden. Garage parking and storage are included.
Living in the Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e means enjoying great views. Residents can see across Prague’s city center. It’s also close to transport options. The Invalidovna metro station is a short walk away. Palmovka station is also nearby. The city center is about ten minutes away.
The Slune\u010dn\u00ed v\u011b\u017e is more than just a building. It is a statement of modern architecture. Its shimmering glass and bold design make it a landmark. It reflects the energy of Karl\u00edn. It is a place where modern living meets urban convenience.
