New Office Building of the Year, Poland
The Malthouse Offices is the largest commercial building of Warsaw Brewery, a multi-functional city-forming investment by Echo Investment, which will provide residents, office workers, guests and tourists with nearly 100,000 sqm of engaging, urban space. The architecture of the Malthouse Offices is a unique combination of various functions and the arrangement of public space. The glazed façade with champagne colored cladding elements and slightly rotated vertical façade elements will give the building depth, additional variability, light and shade. Surrounded by green common spaces, the Malthouse Offices perfectly fit into the design philosophy of the creators of the investment, i.e. creating a place where people can work, spend time together and meet the needs of everyday life.
