The building is an exhibit in its self, open to all sides, an eye-catching luminous object, an ideal space for expositions of all kinds. The solid core is complemented by a flexible exhibition system and lighting, allowing installations to be opened up or discreetly separated. This, combined with the translucent shading that turns into a repetitive coloured cloak at night, opens up an endless range of possibilities for the presentation of contemporary art, in an exclusive location at the end of Parizska Street.

The distinctive glass volume is both a large display and a place providing an attractive view of the centre and the Prague skyline, the boundary between interior and exterior is blurred, as is the exhibition area it self, which freely flows through the space and naturally expands outwards. The façades and their supporting ribs are designed in glass, the distinctly transparent building is anchored by a solid concrete core, which is also designed as a source of cold and heat radiating from the centre of the house to its perimeter, providing a year-round comfort. Fabric shading anchored to glass ribs on all four sides can also create sufficiently intimate areas and protect from direct sunlight.
The interior is dominated by raw materials – fair-faced concrete, glass and metal – which create a neutral but expressive base for the presentation of art. The gallery thus offers a clean and open atmosphere that allows the works on exhibit to stand out.
