Project description

The building – the publishing house headquarters – becomes part of its image, a catchy symbol on the traffic map of the city. Certain unambiguity and gaminess of its look should suggest its close relation not only to the publisher’s world, but it also reflects the diversity of the outskirts, its natural abundance of forms and contrasting scales. The building is detached, nevertheless, firmly fixed to the street line. Traditional façade structure with windows reflecting the internal arrangement of offices combines with larger abstract areas and volumes many times overlapping.
