The Pearl

The Pearl Close

Perla (The Pearl) is a tower building in Brno-Žabovřesky. The simple universal layout repeats on every floor. The two lowermost floors house civic amenities and apartments with atriums, two underground floors serve as parking garages. The building rotates upwards veering some terraces towards the sun. The maisonette apartments are placed in the same direction. The surface of the building is made of polished stainless steel covered with wire mesh glass, which makes the nacreous look of the façade. The name Perla, the pearl in English, is the original name of the place.
