LOFT center

Description:

The main purpose of the reconstruction is to increase the usable area of the building and modernize the facades. The existing building has a variable number of storeys with the main one-storey part and the central two-storey one. The building is located in the foreground of a multi-storey residential line. When designing the new superstructure, a lot of work was done to survey the existing structures and find appropriate solutions to reinforce the foundations and walls to enable additional floors to be built on. Calculations were carried out to maintain the normative insolation of apartments in adjacent residential buildings. This was achieved thanks to the stepped number of storeys, and without prejudice to the environment, to increase the existing area of the reconstructed building. The existing ground floor has retained its functions (trade, catering, banking services). The overbuilt part includes premises for serving the residents of the quarter, an entertainment center, offices, a medical center and educational premises. In addition, due to the fact that the upper floors go in steps, it was possible to organize exploited sections of the roof with an adaptive function for various needs.
