Charzykowy Police Station / Posterunek Policji Cha

New skin of the Police Station from the 60`s

GDA Architekci as Architects

Building is located next to the Charzykowski Lake. This unique location became our inspiration and motivated us to search for innovative solutions. Exisiting building from the 60`s was in bad condition and needed complex renovation.


Idea of using galvanized architectural net came out after our careful observation of water. Water sparkling in the sun was our main inspiration and reference for the facade. We decided to use galvanised PerfoAndromeda net to achieve metallised effect.


Building is open to the water - huge windows on the western facade are helping to monitor the promenade and public beach. Old, grey plasters were replaced with Equitone Tectiva panels in grey and beige colour adding a distinctive and official look.


Used materials are supposed to associate with the Police station of the XXI century. Our aim was to build a picture of a Police that is modern, solid and standing on guard of society.
