Project description:
The industrial context of the new business palace with public program
implies a simple volume which becomes complex on the inside, animating
end engaging the occupants.
What is specific about the site are large green areas and fascinating
large scale- industrial hangars' facades vis-a-vis the building, reminding
of the latent history of the 'Litostroj' industrial zone that is now being
redeveloped.
The concept of preserving the existing greenery within the already rather
visually degraded future 'Litostroj' technology and Business Park becomes
the site's genius loci. Intertwined with a diverse public and commercial
program it provides a very attractive, dynamic and creative working environment,
extending activity past working hours.
The planned office, services and recreational programs are threaded along
a continuous programmatic ribbon that envelopes the multilevel
green and common open areas within the building. Embedded in this space,
like in an intercellular material of an organism, float elevated
pods that house various extra-curriculum and businessrelated activities.
These present an added-value to the regular working environment of the
office, serving also as means of vertical communication.
Contrary to the typology of the surrounding buildings that speaks of utilitarian
monotony of their program this building presents itself as a generator
of new life and concepts in this brownfield area undergoing a radical
redevelopment.
