Located on a corner site
at the western entrance to the city, the composition is defined
by two office towers. Southern tower rises over the intersection,
accentuating the direction towards the city with its sharp
projecting corner. Lower northern wing serves as a background
to the principal motive, its composition approaching the dynamic
of railway traffic behind it. Both wings are oriented towards
the west, accentuating the openness of city. Vertical cores
are located on the eastern sides and provide the option of
connection to the future extension of adjacent building.
Office programs are organized in the two wings, one with 8,
the other with 14 floors. Ground floor comprises supporting
public programs and the entrance lobby. Different wing lengths
proved various floor divisions and office size options.
Panel facade system is supplemented by a white fixed shading
element attached in four different directions, thus providing
a dynamic facade effect.
Green areas serve a barrier against the intense traffic with
dense tree formations and two hillocks facing the intersection,
thus forming a sheltered public space in front of the building.
Buildings are built for people, and their well-being is crucial
to productivity. So, users are encouraged to stay in contact
with their surroundings, their working environment should
achieve its good climate with little burdening of technology.
Low-temperature heating and cooling system fuelled by heat
pumps, provide the best option. All technological systems
are connected to a central control system, ensuring optimal
energy use. |
