Baltyk Tower Building, Poznań
Design: MVRDV, Architects

Baltyk Tower Building
First MVRDV project in Poland: Bałtyk appears totally different depending on what side it is approached from. A linear building with a concrete, entirely glass-fronted façade and clearly exposed aggregate grain, sets it apart from its surroundings and is an example of a balanced combination of “old” and “new” architecture in the context of the neighbouring historic building of Concordia Design and the Haven.

Thespian Wroclaw
The history of the project of Thespian is the story of solving typical problems we have to deal with, while having a chance to build in the city centre. Most of the issues relate to ‘tidying up the urban plan’, which is characteristic of the city, where majority of empty plots used to be built up.
