It is a place where architecture combines with functionality, and residents of the capital and tourists can enjoy a rich commercial, gastronomic and cultural offer. Although every resident of Warsaw has certainly heard of Złote Tarasy, few people know how impressive their construction and history are. Złote Tarasy are proof of how contemporary architecture can shape urban space and influence the everyday life of residents.

 

The creation and architecture of Złote Tarasy

The Złote Tarasy complex is located in the heart of Warsaw, right next to the Central Railway Station and the Palace of Culture and Science. Its location is excellent - it is a place that attracts both residents and tourists visiting the capital. Construction of Złote Tarasy began in 2002, and the official opening took place on February 7, 2007. Despite the planned opening in 2005, the project encountered some obstacles that delayed its completion.

The investor of the project is ING Real Estate in cooperation with the Capital City of Warsaw, and the general contractor was the renowned construction company Skanska S.A.. The complex consists of several buildings, including three storeys of retail space, two seven-storey office buildings and a 26-storey skyscraper with a height of 105 meters. The entire structure covers an area of ​​225 thousand m², of which 63.5 thousand m² is intended for retail space, making Złote Tarasy one of the largest shopping centers in Poland.

One of the most characteristic elements of Złote Tarasy is its irregularly undulating glass roof, which covers the central part of the complex, the so-called atrium. The roof with an area of ​​10,000 m² consists of 4,780 glass triangles, the sides of which are up to three meters long. Thanks to its unique structure, the roof lets in natural light, creating a pleasant atmosphere inside the building. This architectural solution has become a symbol of Złote Tarasy and one of the most recognizable elements of the Warsaw landscape.

 

Zlote Tarasy Interiors: Shops, Restaurants and Entertainment

Zlote Tarasy is a place that meets the needs of both shopaholics and people looking for relaxation. On three levels of the shopping centre we will find 220 different shops, including popular international and domestic brands. Tenants include brands such as Marks & Spencer, H&M, Zara, Van Graaf, Intersport and Saturn. Interestingly, brands such as Next and the restaurant chain Hard Rock Café have opened their first shops in Poland in Złote Tarasy. This makes it one of the most important retail and catering points in the capital.

In addition to shops, Złote Tarasy also offers numerous places to spend free time. The complex includes Multikino, which is an ideal place for evening cinema outings. In turn, people looking for culinary experiences can choose from numerous restaurants and cafes serving dishes from different cuisines of the world. Everyone will find something for themselves here, regardless of whether they prefer exquisite dishes or quick snacks.

One of the main advantages of Złote Tarasy is its attractive recreational space. The open space in the central part of the complex, covered with the previously mentioned glass roof, is a meeting and relaxation place for visitors. You can sit here, relax and admire the unique architecture, which makes Złote Tarasy an ideal place for a break during shopping.

 

Technological systems and innovative solutions

Złote Tarasy is not only impressive architecture, but also advanced technological solutions that make the complex comfortable and user-friendly. The building has modern ventilation and air conditioning systems that guarantee optimal thermal conditions inside the building all year round. Interestingly, a cascading ventilation system has been installed in the central part of the complex, which supplies fresh air to the commercial premises, from where the air then rises and then goes underground, to be finally removed outside.

Additionally, on each of the three floors of the commercial part, a cooling and underfloor heating system has been installed, which increases the comfort of staying in the building, especially during hot summer days or cool winter evenings. This is one of those solutions that makes visiting Złote Tarasy a pure pleasure regardless of the season.

Złote Tarasy also stands out in terms of ecology. Although the project initially encountered resistance from environmental organizations, it was eventually possible to implement numerous solutions that minimize the complex's impact on the environment. An example is the use of natural light that enters the interior through the glass roof, which allows for reduced electricity consumption.

No co by nie mówić o estetycznej stronie Złotych Tarasów, architektonicznie są one interesujące i wpisują się w otoczenie! Można je zobaczyć w 3D i przekonać się o tym na własnym monitorze :) http://www.domoklik.pl/kalejdoskop/1089
