Located on the site of the former Hotel Centrum Łódź, Fabryczna Offices has a distinct envelope informed by the client’s demands and strict planning regulations. A 4-storey plinth traces the outline of the plot forming a public courtyard from which a 55 meter high tower rises.

The plinth, a band of retail spaces on the ground floor with offices above, is designed with a depth that allows for maximum daylight on all floors. The plinth and tower are rounded and curved to create a series of smaller volumes that afford the project a more intimate scale and provide individual identity to future tenants.

The private green roof and public courtyard by Lola landscape architects are designed as a family of semi-public spaces characterized by a large variety of vegetation and sunlit terraces. An underground tunnel will connect Fabryczna Offices to the central station and greater city in the future.

Upon completion Fabryczna Offices will be MVRDV’s second project in Poland, following last year’s completion of Baltyk, Poznan.
