Description
The new commercial (office, retail) and residential building at Szervita Square in Budapest is located in the city center, on the Eastern side of the Danube. The famous promenades and shopping streets – Váci Street and Fashion Street with the Kempinski Hotel – are in walking distance.
The architects designed the buildingshell throughout with glass. It is structured into several storeys, and is partially terraced. The building elevations are broken up by an irregular pattern of filigree vertical elements. The at the corners curved glass envelope reflects the historical façades of the neighboring buildings,
resulting in a lively collage of old and new. This mirror effect is made possible by the coated two-in-one
COOL-LITE® XTREME SILVER II glass by SAINT-GOBAIN. Its combination of reflective silver appearance and high solar control, outstanding selectivity and thermal insulation ensures high user comfort and energy savings.
This is another reason why Szervita Square Building meets the requirements of the LEED Platinum sustainability label. It has also received numerous awards for its architecture, design and development values, including the “Best Mixed-Use Development in Hungary” at the International Property Awards and at the 23rd FIABCI Hungarian Prix d’Excellence, as well as multiple concept awards.
