In March 2017, Studio Libeskind completed Zlota 44, Europe’s new tallest residential building. Located in central Warsaw, Poland, the building punctuates the city’s skyline with its arching form inspired by the wings of an eagle.

The project is a collaboration between Polish Developer BBI Development S.A. and US-based real estate investment manager Amstar.

The 52 storey (192 m / 629 ft) tower is located across from Stalin’s Palace of Culture. Measuring c.30,000 sq. m, the tower provides 287 apartments complete with business, leisure, concierge and parking facilities.

The symbolic design has been carefully sculpted, following the path of the sun, to allow for maximum daylight to enter units at all levels and reduce shadows at street level amid a dense, historic urban fabric.

The arched façade comes to an apex at the top creating a multi-level penthouse with spectacular panoramic views of the city.

The glass and aluminum curtain-wall is constructed with self-cleaning paneling and triple-glazed floor-to-ceiling windows arranged in an irregular pattern that animates the surface with a play of light and shadow.

Architect Daniel Libeskind said:

“Zlota 44 is a very personal project for me. I left Poland at a young age to escape the oppression of communism, but the spirit and culture of my home country has never left me. I have since seen the incredible rebirth of the country and energy of Warsaw emerge.”
