Port7 Prague: High-Performance Glazing Driving a New Riverfront District in Holešovice

Located in Prague’s Holešovice district along the Vltava riverfront, Port7 is a large-scale mixed-use regeneration project that transforms a former brownfield logistics area into a new urban quarter combining office, retail, public realm, and leisure functions. The masterplan establishes a porous, walkable district that reconnects the river edge with the surrounding transport infrastructure, particularly Holešovice railway station, improving both permeability and urban continuity.

A defining element of the development is its high-performance façade system, incorporating approximately 14,000 m² of advanced glazing supplied by AGC Glass Europe. The façade strategy prioritizes energy efficiency, visual clarity, and occupant comfort, while maintaining a consistent architectural expression across the complex.

The glazing specification combines double and triple insulating glass units integrating AGC’s solar control and low-emissivity coatings. Stopray Vision 62/33 (T) is applied to manage solar gain, delivering a selective balance between daylight transmission and heat rejection. This reduces cooling demand during peak summer conditions while maintaining a neutral exterior reflection that supports the project’s contemporary aesthetic.

Complementing this, iplus 1.0 (T) and iplus 1.1 low-emissivity coatings enhance thermal insulation performance, minimizing winter heat loss and improving overall U-value performance of the façade system. The combination of solar control and thermal insulation coatings enables year-round environmental stability and contributes to reduced operational energy consumption.

The project was developed by Skanska Property Czech Republic, designed by DAM architekti in collaboration with AED project, and constructed by Skanska a.s.. Façade execution was delivered by OKM Group.
