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.

When designing the spa in the middle of the historical center of Bratislava, we came out from the need to break free from the daily cycle and calm down. This space is a meditative hiding place from the outside world. We build the concept of an urban spa on the perceptions of space as a temple for the body. The reference is the historical public baths Grössling, which are located nearby and provided visitors with the purifying procedures of body and soul.
There are only a few buildings with industrial history left in Bratislava that have managed to adapt to the current needs. One of them is functionalist building of Jurkovič’s Heating Plant, which has been opened to the public after a three-year renovation as a modern coworking centre – Base4Work from Studio Perspektiv as interior designers. The architectural solution in the form of new interior spaces and new structures is the work of DF Creative Group. The PAMARCH, specializing in the protection and reconstruction of monuments, oversaw the building envelope renovation.
Known for its sophisticated office projects, the Perspektiv architectural studio has completed the second branch of the Base4Work co-working centre inside the Bratislava industrial monument – the first one is located in Prague’s Churchill complex.
The property is located in a relatively dense housing zone in Bratislava, so-called “Pod Slancom”. These circumstances subsequently affected the allocation of the house and its principal spatial concept. The house is situated in the center of the plot, whilst its perimeter walls are separated and expanding into the garden area, here, partially, reconnecting to the house again.
There are 2 main aspects of this project. The first one is reshaping the typicaly structured space arrangement of the apartment, originally from the 1950s, with the intention of creating a multipurpose living space for a young family, that would put an emphasis on the importance of social interactions.
Gansberg district in Koliba is an exclusive residential complex formed by three residential villas stretching across the south-eastern slopes with panoramic views of Bratislava. Horizontally divided floors emphasized by freely shaped terraces and balconies copy the irregular geomorphological shape of the terrain and its contours. The entire complex is thus organically incorporated into the Koliba slope and creates various configurations of views of the city and of the hill, the patios and the surrounding villas. This creates a quite variable topography of views, but also of floor plans with terraces integrated into the terrain, in loggias, and in semi-open and roof terraces. The horizontal division is supported by the vertical structure of façades which underline the linear dynamics of the variability of full-glass window apertures and grey-and-white vertical stripes of decorated structured plaster resembling a forest parterre.
The story of this compact family house began in 2015 year with architectural study. Young family with two kids decide to move to location which is on the edge of Slovak capital – Bratislava, named Vrakuňa.

Since we looked for the first time on the clean plot, we start to organize general disposition of the site with main goal to create simple shaped compact house, which will cut a reasonable portion of the garden with his volume, as a benefit for clients. Other wellcomed condition of the design was to create volume wich will not stick up from surrounding volemes of older structures.
