The good location, the infrastructure, the existing traffic connections with other parts of the city and the preservation of the existing structure, despite the effects of the fire, were recognized by the new owner and investor, who entrusted this challenging reconstruction and rehabilitation task to our company after the project was launched.
The potential in the former hypermarket is reflected in the flexibility of its space, which is easily adapted to new uses and layouts. However, one of the main challenges in reconstruction lies in collecting all useful information and accurately assessing the scope of work, so was to minimize surprises during execution. If the object of reconstruction is a building from an earlier period, which is the case with our building, the reconstruction must adapt it to current regulations and standards, which have changed in the field of energy efficiency, statics and fire protection.
The New Emmezeta facility covers an area of approximately 10,000 m², but the investor has permission to divide the whole into two parts for different future users, instead of a single office space. Although the purpose of the new units is different, the flexibility of the space made it easy to adapt it to all the requirements in the project assignment.
