Made of glass, concrete, and steel, the ŠKODA Auto Design Center is a modern, unconventionally conceived structure that stands out without being overwhelmingly dominant. Built in the spirit of a new architectural philosophy, it is a harmoniously composed structure aiming to express simplicity, compactness, and compatibility with the attributes typical for ŠKODA.
The building is divided with glass partitions that can be moved to create a variety of interior arrangements. This variability enables designers and engineers to concentrate on their work while sustaining visual communication with their colleagues. The monochromatic character of the glass and concrete structure artfully contrasts with colorful work environment. In 1999, the original Design Center received recognition as the Structure of the Year.
