Arche Estate at Zięby Street in Warsaw
The residential building in Ursynów, Warsaw, is located close to a transportation hub - the intersection of Pileckiego and Herbsta streets. Near the investment site, from the south side, lies Lake Imielińskie, a valuable natural body of water, surrounded by protected areas as an ecological site - Imieliński Landscape Park.
The five-story building is designed in a plan resembling the letter "C" and positioned parallel to the boundaries of adjacent plots. The development was shaped to preserve most of the existing tree cover on the site.The dimensions of the proposed development are similar to neighboring multi-family residential and service buildings. The northern and southern wings of the building form internal green patios intended for the shared use of residents. The zone directly adjacent to the external wall of the building is allocated for private gardens for ground-floor apartments.
The building is kept in subdued colors. The elevations are designed with a finish of white plaster. The exception is the ground floor of the building, which will be clad in clinker tiles. The project also proposes graphite clinker panels adjacent to the windows, which introduce rhythm and organize the divisions on the façade. The northern wing is cut from the entrance side of the investment site, and its ground floor is set back to achieve a more dynamic and representative elevation. Additionally, it features alternating loggias and different divisions than the rest of the building, further emphasizing the most exposed facade of the building.
On the above-ground floors, 110 apartments of varying sizes and layouts are located. In the southern and southeastern parts, apartments with mezzanines spanning two floors are designed. The underground level houses a garage with 136 parking spaces.
