Churchill Office

The Churchill Square office project is a pleasant contrast to the historical building of the Prague’s Main Train Station. The project is distinctly contemporary and yet you get the feeling that it belongs there, that it has always been there.

Each of the project’s buildings has its own character and identity. They are both airy yet austere in their own way. This is contrasted by a certain playfulness in the composition of passages, overlooks, courtyards and terraces in the area which is open to the public. Their ideal connection is a public space in the form of a piazza, a small square with plenty of greenery and a water feature. It is the heart of the project and the gateway to Žižkov from the train and metro. Anyone passing through in the opposite direction will appreciate the incomparable and unique view of Old Prague, Petřín and Prague Castle.

The Churchill Square project is LEED GOLD certified! Obtaining this certificate confirms that the Churchill I and II projects think about the environment as well as the work atmosphere, which can positively influence the efficiency of employees.

Nekap provided the waterproofing of the underground structure.

Nekap was responsible for the waterproofing of the underground structure, along with waterproofing joints, penetrations, and other details. For these areas, the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid system was proposed to the design team to be used in combination with the Xypex Admix C-Series and provide a complete waterproof solution.

The incorporation of the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid KJ into the slab ensured a complete seal was created at the transition to the wall. As Manorteq offers as a full interconnecting system, the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid CJ was then installed in specified construction joints and connected to the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid KJ using tie-wire.

To allow for larger pours, the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid CI was also installed at designated construction joints. By inducing a controlled aesthetically pleasing waterproof crack, the inclusion of the Manorteq WaterBar Rigid CI was ultimately able to increase the speed of concrete placement and reduce overall the construction timeframe.

By utilising the complete Xypex and Manorteq solution, provided by one supplier, Manorteq products were able to complete the waterproofing and protect the structure against the harsh natural environment.
