New Office Building of the Year, Poland
The Villa Offices - the highest commercial building in Warsaw Brewery - has been completed. WeWork will soon open its headquarters there. The office building is another finished part of Echo Investment's city-forming project, that will combine residential, office,retail and entertainment purposes. The building is distinguished by its fully glazed facade, which reflects the surrounding buildings like in a mirror. What is more, the whole area is covered with a large-scale, arranging "grating" made of dark aluminium facade profiles. The refraction of the solid, the entrance arcades and the windows will be highlighted by a beer malt-coloured cladding. This type of copper alloy on facades is very rarely used in Poland. The Villa Offices, together with the finished building of Gatehouse Offices and the first city square open and invite to the heart of the whole project - the historic Cellars of the former Storage Cellar and the Brewery Market.
