The Classic 7 project is another great example of sensitive transformation of a historical building into a modern office complex. Dominating this extensive complex is a former steam mill from 1911 – the first automated flour mill in Prague, it was capable of grinding 200 tons of grain daily. During the reconstruction, architects successfully combined industrial architecture of the early 20th century with elements of modern architecture, creating an impressive, timeless space.
