Transgas was a brutalist and high-tech building complex in Prague's Vinohrady district, designed by Jindřich Malátek, Ivo Loos, Jiří Eisenreich, and Václav Aulický. Built in 1978, the complex comprised three structures: a dark grey cubic form with a cobblestone-textured facade, and two tall buildings featuring long windows and dark steel construction. Symbolic decoration composed of gas pipeline tubes surrounded the ensemble, reflecting its industrial purpose. The building stood until its demolition in 2019.
