Nordic Haven Apartments in Bydgoszcz

Piotr Krajewski - Architectural Photography as Photographers

The building is designed on a trapezium plan. It has a cascade/terrace form, and in the elevation prominently marked is the division into office/commercial and residential parts. On one side it will have 4 storeys, adjusted to the height of the existing development. The building climbs up in terraces towards the River Brda to the height of 16 above-ground storeys. The residents will enjoy, e.g. a raised courtyard with greenery and viewing platform, green terraces on the roofs, and terraces and loggias encircling from the outside the residential part of the building. The building has a light glass elevation underscored by the woodwork, and Optiwhite glass balustrades on the upper storeys. The glass is contrasted with natural terracotta panels in dark brick colour. The bottom part of the elevation is emphasised with vertical wooden elements that provide sun protection acoustic insulation.
