In the inner space, the high ceilings create unique spatialities that value the products on display.

Normally, we consider design should present brand new image. Under the accumulation of a long time, a surplus of “products” began to appear in our lives gradually, ranging from construction waste to daily necessities. Nowadays, architects and designers take the restoration projects seriously, which is a response towards the excess of products and an awakening to the future.
Commercial space has often been associated with “differentiation” to achieve brand uniqueness. Hence, how to respond to the “excess” of a variety of materials is a question to designers in the current era. In the design of BEASTER Concept Store, Some Thoughts reflect on the uniqueness achieved by “customization”, aspiring to use the existing products to develop the spatial design of BEASTER, and re-organize the partials of some products we selected to replace the “brand-new” design.
Galvaniho Business Center 5 is the last completed block of the Bratislava business and administrative complex located between Galvani Street and the D1 motorway, which consists of retail parks and shopping centres, shopping arcades, showrooms, hotels and rentable administrative complexes. GBC 5 is an office building which, thanks to its dynamic façade and changing window tectonics, parametrically responds to lighting conditions and location with respect to the cardinal directions. Wide panoramic views of the slopes of the Carpathians and the north of Bratislava, dense vertical solar shading on the south side and longitudinal eastern and western façades of changing perforated geometry with irregular façade atriums with greenery bring refreshing change and authentic design to suburban generic urbanism. With its architectural, construction and technology solutions, GBC 5 strives to respond to all critical issues and new challenges of current design. Today, our latest experience with the global pandemic crisis and imminent climate change forces us to rethink architectural design and solve problems of cities and country development.
