Concordia Design Wrocław is located on the Malt Island (wyspa Słodowa) on the Odra River. This island plays primarily a recreational function - as a park and a place for film screenings, concerts, and sports competitions. All the buildings that were here in the past were destroyed during the siege of Wroclaw (then Breslau) by the Red Army in 1945. Only a 19th century apartment building has survived, which became the basis for the MVRDV coworking space.
The historical part, which has the status of a monument, is interpreted by the architects as the “regular” face of their building, to which they added a second, “informal” one. The facades of the 19th century have been restored (this is an object of cultural heritage), one of the two main entrances is arranged from the end, behind which there is a three-height atrium with a cafe, the old walls have been cleaned to brick and supplemented with wood trim.
The informal part received the same atrium at the end, and instead of a cafe - a "food hall". Inside, it is painted by the artist Alicia Byala, which is clearly visible from the outside thanks to the extensive glass surfaces. Otherwise, the new facades have a regular grid of windows without details, which made it possible to harmonize them with part of the 19th century.
The main part of the building with an area of 7,000 m2 is occupied by a coworking space, and on the new part of the roof, they arranged something like a greenhouse - a glazed terrace with a garden for various events. The client of the project is Concordia Design, accompanied by Polish architects Q2.
