A new headquarters of IPSAL C.R. s.r.o. in Pankrác, Prague, was created with a sensitive reconstruction of an approximately 50 year old building. A two-storey building built in the style of socialist realism in the beginning of the 60’s as a part of civic facilities of Pankrác II housing estate. Originally the building started to be used permanently with the aim to distribute and provide service for CTK – Pressfoto, a multinational enterprise. In course of years is used to be a post office or an office building later on.
