Urban by Lapitec Chosen for a Slovakian Central Office

Lapitec Urban slabs, specifically created for large outdoor areas, were chosen for the new central office of the shopping centre at the Panorama Business II complex, overlooking the Danube river, in Bratislava, Slovakia. The sintered stone facade in the Casablanca shade adds a touch of elegance and purity to this corner of the Slovakian business district. With its versatility and the adoption of a special installation system, the slabs are ideal for use on continuous and ventilated façades. The windows have also been framed with sintered stone, creating a bright, chromatic grid effect that enhances the lines of the building, adding a light and an avant garde aesthetic to the entire project.

Close to the historic centre of Bratislava, the Slovak National Theatre, and the Danube river, the Eurovea shopping centre is a key landmark in an area of the city that is undergoing rapid and intensive development. The client asked Studio GFI to draw up an innovative project, with a design focused on environmental sustainability, with the objective of creating a building that provides a high level of comfort. The architects opted for a natural, large format product for the façades, which not only guaranteed a homogeneous aesthetic, but also maximum workability and a softer impact on the surrounding environment.
