Encounter Instead of Loneliness
The residential high-rises in Bratislava establish a pioneering built environment designed to foster human interaction – countering the widespread indifference often found in urban areas. Highly visible across the cityscape, the project comprises a 20-storey north tower and a 17-storey south tower, connected by an eight-storey central structure.
Beyond the thoughtful planning of apartment types – from compact units to spacious family apartments and penthouses with terraces – the architectural focus lies in the distinctive façade design featuring cubiform loggias. This three-dimensional, space-defining skin provides generous outdoor extensions for each unit, while offering effective protection from sun, wind, and rain.
Inside, the double-height foyers are open, spacious, and inviting, setting the tone for the experience within. Altogether, this is a landmark project – robust enough to assert its presence amid the industrial brownfield landscape in the city’s northeast. With its timeless design, it stands as a model for sustainable urban living, intentionally resisting fleeting architectural trends.
