Pic of the day: projected high-rise Dorn

by Michal Kašpárek on July 8, 2009

Shopping mall Vaňkovka is going to have a new neighbor: tower block Dorn (abbreviated from “Dornych st.”). Dorn was designed by RAW studio and if everything goes fine, it will be finished before the end of 2011.

Dorn will be located at the cross of Dornych st. and Plotní st. in the so-called “southern centre”, a developing area next to a planned new main train station.
