The award went to the Q22 office building, which also won the Office Building of the Year Award, having received the most plaudits from the jury. The concepts behind the design for the building were modesty, timelessness, simplicity, consistency, coherence, elegance and state-of-the-art technology, one example of which is the advanced twin lift system by ThyssenKrupp, which consists of two cabins stacked vertically in one shaft that can move independently.
There were also two other finalists in the category. The Park Warsaw IV, with an area of 10,000 sqm which is under construction on ul. Orzechowa, will eventually consist of ten class ‘A’ office with 110,000 sqm gla. The complex consists of high-standard buildings with flexible office layouts, providing highly comfortable working conditions for enhanced communication. The buildings are surrounded by trees, shrubs, and flowers. Ponds, fountains and other landscape features provide a friendly environment to relax in during breaks. The design was drawn up by APA Wojciechowski Architekci, while the developer is White Star Real Estate. The Maraton office building, built by the Skanska Group in the centre of Poznań, was also nominated in this category. The H-shape building features two courtyards, while the receding façade on ul. Maratońska allows the office building to fit in with the other buildings of Maraton Gardens, thus maintaining the coherence of the entire complex.
