ATRIUM 2

CATEGORY
New Office of the Year, Poland
Atrium 2 is a project, which links the past with the future. Its modernist character is underlined by a “Warsaw corsets” motif, which was popular during the interwar period, being incorporated into the office building’s façade. This ability to skillfully weave tradition with modern innovations is one of the project’s biggest advantages. In the neighborhood of Atrium 2 Skanska prepared for all tenants a colorful mural entitled “Sustainable city” which measure 800 sqm. For its design, Skanska engaged the largest European firm that specializes in hand-painted advertisements and murals – Good Looking Studio. The project’s author is Dawid Ryski, a graphic designer and poster artist. Skanska also implemented in Atrium 2 the services of SwopCar – one of the first solutions in Poland that allows all the building’s tenants to car share. The electric car can be both reserved and accessed via a smartphone application.
