The site is positioned on the edge of the Tricity Landscape Park, and is nearby to Gdynia’s Central Park, which is currently undergoing a major renovation. As such, the development has the potential to become a connecting element creating a green corridor connecting the national park and the sea.

Gdynia Park Towers achieves this connection by splitting the project’s programme into offices on one side, and on the other, a plinth hosting commercial functions with residential towers above. At ground level, the project is punctuated by through-routes and open spaces to invite pedestrian use – however, this plinth layer is united by a single roof. At two strategic locations, the roof of the plinth dips down to ground level, allowing access to a rooftop park that is densely covered with greenery; even the routes across the roof are finished in grass, rather than hard landscaping. Within this space, a number of open ‘meadows’ provide spaces for relaxation and leisure activities such as yoga.

The key design elements of Gdynia Towers make it an exemplary sustainable project. The expansive green roof that provides biodiversity, local cooling, and improved air quality. The towers containing offices have the flexibility to be adapted to future needs, extending the project’s lifespan. Thanks to these features, as well as other sustainable features such as photovoltaic panels and rainwater collection, the design targeted a range of sustainability certificates: BREEAM Excellent for the offices, BREEAM Very Good for the housing, and WELL Core & Shell certification.
