About Nile House

Nile House was built in 2005 as the second building of the River City Prague project after Danube House.

The building is easily recognizable for its outstanding design and architecture. The outside cladding of greenish gray granite and the beautiful hi-tech glass atrium, full of natural light, form the major highlights. The atrium is double glazed for heat retention and soundproofing. It houses live vegetation, including life-sized trees. When it comes to operational systems and materials used, the main focus was on sustainability.
