Science meets art

Once you step
into the building of the pharmaceuticals company Zentiva in Dolní
Měcholupy, you'll quickly forget you're in a factory, as the
elegant administrative part of the complex is separated from
the manufacturing part. But a hint of pharmaceuticals can still
be detected in the absolute cleanliness of the architectural
and interior elements. This theme extends to the common areas
like the reception and the lounge, as well as to the office of
the general director, Jiří Michal.
I bought the statuette for my desk at an antique store.

Paintings by Jan Němec adorn the office as well as the entrance areas. Their
simple symbolism stands out against the raw surfaces of the concrete walls.

Colorful armchairs are good for relaxing and short working
meetings. From these chairs beyond the little pool there
is a view of the tops of the trees in front of the building.

The space of the interior lounge visually connects the
individual floors of the building. The lounge is also used
for special events, such as openings of exhibitions by
renowned artists. Dita Štěpánová is currently exhibiting
her paintings on the company premises.
