Josef Stanko: Construction is an inherently slow business; although, it should be added, a very stable one. However, this seemingly unshakable stability has been greatly tested of late by another of life’s many uncertainties: regulatory changes. The latest of these is the new Building Act, or rather its proposed substantive amendment. I am not a lawyer or a developer here to assess the quality of legal clauses or their specific impact on construction proceedings. I want to reflect instead on what a "foot on the brake" in real estate development means for the market, and why commercial real estate is important.

Modern corporate offices should reflect the needs of today's employees and new ways of working: not only with their equipment, but also in their layout. Ideally, offices should be divided into four basic zones. The first should provide silence and peace for focused work; the second should enable cooperation between teams; the third should be available for rest, relaxation, and perhaps even entertainment; and the fourth should offer space for daily communication. Do you know how much space to allocate for each zone and why?
PRAGUE, 07 SEPTEMBER 2022 - The Czech branch of Colliers, a leading provider of diversified professional services for commercial real estate and investment management, published a survey of the Prague office market for the second quarter of 2022.

Lighting in the workplace affects our physical and psychological state. Properly selected lights can increase productivity and prevent unpleasant burning eyes or headaches. Decisive parameters for lighting selection include not only light color and intensity, but also the type of lighting. The right choice for central and table lighting is essential.
People spend up to 90% of their time inside buildings. While at home they can adapt their environment to fit their preferences, at work they often have to operate in spaces with artificial lighting, use a range of electronic devices, and breathe air filtered through air-conditioning systems. All this has a negative effect on people’s health: especially their mental health. Biophilic design, which is rapidly becoming a big trend, can help avoid these problems; especially when designing and furnishing offices. It brings the work environment closer to nature, which has a beneficial effect on the psyche and overall health.
The Czech branch of Colliers, a leading provider of diversified professional services for commercial real estate and investment management, published a survey of the Prague office market for the first quarter of 2022. According to this survey, there was a further increase in vacancy, which increased across Prague. However, gross take-up recorded a year-on-year increase of 44 %, and thus returned to pre-pandemic levels. The increase in prices throughout the city is still felt especially in construction projects, mainly due to rising costs for materials and construction work

Work processes today are so complex that it is difficult to monitor whether a decline or increase in productivity is due to visual stimuli. Nevertheless, there is a consensus among psychologists, designers, and company managers that colorful workplaces tend to increase performance more than workplaces with only neutral colors.
