The Roztyly Plaza office building represents a significant first step in transforming the current peripheral area around the Roztyly metro station into a true urban structure adjacent to an exceptional natural park. This is a step of similar significance to the construction, twenty-five years ago, of the first building on the former brownfield site of today’s BB Centrum for HP, which marked the beginning of the successful redevelopment of a previously neglected area. Although the T-Mobile building and the Hobby retail hall exist in the wider area, these older designs do not contribute in any way to the development of the urban environment in connection with the metro station, which has enormous transportation potential.

The RP building, located in the immediate vicinity of both the metro station and the forest, was designed from the outset with this context in mind.

The building’s volumetric design is a distinctive architectural form combining orthogonal and organic shapes. The straight lines integrate better with the shape of the lot and the transportation network and offer a higher percentage of office space with a high degree of usability. The curved forms at the building’s corners, in turn, convey a sense of the building’s distinctiveness and exclusivity while complementing the overall geometry. However, they do not dominate to the extent that the overall concept takes on a fluid form. Clearly defined straight sections and straight edges continue to play a major role in the building’s overall perception and its timelessness. Within this framework, it is also possible to clearly articulate the building’s archetypal elements (entrance, arcade) so that it is immediately obvious to everyone where to enter the building and where to expect its utilitarian sections (parking entrance, service access).

The building’s medium-rise volume (six above-ground floors and one recessed floor), with its combination of gently curved, straight, and sloping forms, thus integrates into the nearby natural setting while maintaining a compact urban form with a ground floor that houses the necessary shops, commercial services, and restaurants, which also serve passengers transferring to buses. The proposed design of the ground floor area surrounding the building enhances comfort and safety for public transit users as well as for the wider neighborhood; bus stops are located around the perimeter of the well-lit building, and there are also additional seating areas, shelter from heavy rain, a generous water feature, and greenery.

The building’s compact design—which, among other things, has a positive impact on its energy efficiency—is defined by a central atrium around which office operations are organized. Given its height, the atrium is spacious and provides ample natural light for the offices facing it. Panoramic elevators at the atrium’s center and a system of connecting walkways ensure exceptionally easy access to rental units or departments of various sizes, as well as short distances to workspaces in a pleasant environment. On the ground floor of the atrium, in addition to the lobby and an indoor garden, there are other dedicated spaces for an informal work environment and interactions with the public.

Roof gardens have long been a standard feature in Passerinvest buildings; in this case, they take advantage of the unique proximity to the forest and are equipped with a wider range of recreational elements, such as gazebos offering shelter from the wind and a kitchenette with a table for building occupants.

The residential complex is designed with consideration for the site’s landscape character, environmental sustainability, and low energy consumption.
