EXG OFFICE BUILDING IN CZĘSTOCHOWA,

The building is the headquarters of a company in the financial industry. Looking for an appropriate architectural expression for this function, we relied on a structuralist play of space with a very modernist and mathematical expression. The building is like a spatial matrix, a Rubik’s cube, in which the individual cubes have escaped the cubic form.The cuboidal body of the building is made up of repetitive modules measuring 3 x 3 x 3 meters, with some removed to create arcades or terraces.The building is quite large, but by breaking it into small cubes and limiting the overall height, it fits harmoniously into the neighborhood of villas and single-family houses.The basic material shaping both the exterior and interior of the building is light gray concrete. The concrete frame is insulated and clad with precast architectural concrete elements. To emphasize the noble quality of this material, we used glulam woodwork in natural color.We wanted to create attractive, user-friendly interiors. The co-working space is large and high, through the windows you can see the trees and tall greenery surrounding the building. All levels are connected by a sculptural staircase, the execution of which as a continuous ribbon of monolithic reinforced concrete required very intensive cooperation between architects, static engineers and contractors.A very important complement to the architecture is the greenery in this project. We preserved all healthy trees on a small plot, and additionally supplemented the biologically active area with a green roof. In the axis of the staircase, ivy climbs on steel cables.
