ORGANICA

The elegant organic curves of the new ORGANICA office building gracefully contrast with the rugged urban landscape of Ostrava. Designed by Schindler Seko architects, the building’s ground plan resembles a four-bladed propeller, paying homage to the region’s industrial history. The facade evokes the imagery of a cogwheel, reminiscent of those found atop mining towers, adorned with interspersed greenery.

Spanning six floors, the ORGANICA office building offers premium office spaces alongside retail areas, a cafeteria, fitness center, café, and underground parking. Green elements are seamlessly integrated throughout the building, from indoor plants and green walls to green facades, roofs, and a central green atrium. Abundant glazed surfaces ensure continuous connection between the interior and exterior, providing ample natural daylight throughout the day.

Drawing visitors inward, the building offers a unique atmosphere with its lush atrium filled with greenery and light. The bright interior features wooden elements and unique furniture, delineating individual spaces. Atop the building, a photovoltaic power plant contributes to partial energy self-sufficiency, a rare feature for such structures. Additionally, rainwater is harvested for irrigating the greenery, while intelligent air conditioning with sensors ensures efficient fresh air distribution based on occupancy and need.
