Designed by Black n’ Arch and sculptor David Černý for developer Trigema, the development aims to serve as a stark reminder of climate change – imagining a future where a shipwreck has collided with a building during an apocalypse caused by storms and rising sea levels.

Named Top Tower, the building, which i is set to contain a mix of housing and office spaces, is currently undergoing planning permission for a site close to the capital city’s metro station Nové Butovice.

Trigema has projected that construction will begin in 2021, with the building set to take less than three years to complete.

At its highest point, the shipwreck will enclose a public observation deck that is accessed by an external lift. The main building will also feature a rooftop garden offering visitors panoramic views of the city.

Inside, there will be approximately 250 small apartments available to rent, alongside offices and a cultural centre, and shop units on the lowest two floors. The entrance will be marked by a giant sculpture of a propeller that appears to have broken off from the submarine.
