For thirty years, the plot in Prague 6 between Evropská, Liberijská and Kladenská streets was an unsolvable problem for architects and investors. The complicated and irregular plot of land on the hill and the difficult terrain did not make the construction much easier, so several designs, including apartment buildings or a large shopping center, took turns on it. However, none of them stand there.

Czechs manage work from home much harder than employees in the rest of the world. This follows from a study by the IDEA think tank dedicated to Czech employees and a study by the Microsoft Work Trend Index.
