Change language:
Skanska’s latest investment in Hungary, H2Offices is one of the company’s most impressive projects in Budapest. The new office complex, which is already under construction in the heart of the Váci office corridor is in line with modern business needs such as flexibility of spaces, sustainability and wellbeing of people, and is being developed in accordance with the guidelines of LEED and WELL standards. Budapest office buildings skyline will be enriched with a futureproof one designed with lots of attention to environmental challenges and to the needs of the people working inside.
In August 2020, the construction of Skanska’s latest Hungarian project, H2Offices started on the former plot of Budapest Waterworks. We can have now a sneak peek of how the futureproof office complex will look like. The office complex dreamed by Skanska together with the Danish Arrow Architects is approaching environmental consciousness along the principles of traditional Scandinavian design.
The result is an innovative, people-centered building that works in harmony with nature.
Inspired by the heritage of the place, water was given a special role even in the naming of the project. Visualizations and the movie of the project now allow us to see this symbolic connection created by the water elements at the placemaking of the building. The garden, which serves as a meeting point and is open to everyone, is filled with the freshness of water and greenery much aspired in the busy urban business district. Smart water management reusing rain and soil water will allow to treat one of our most valuable natural resources in a sustainable way.
The multifunctional garden is surrounded by spacious office spaces lit by natural light, the double height Scandinavian lobby and canopy connecting the buildings give a special character to the project. Good quality indoor air, comfortable workplaces, warm, friendly lighting, natural materials, easily accessible recreational facilities and a range of services await future tenants. Bicycle storage, changing rooms and showers, as well as electric charging stations encourage the use of environmentally friendly transport options, thus reducing the ecological footprint of the users. Employees can also take advantage of workout possibilities on the rooftop running track, enhancing their health and well-being.
Another unremarkable glass office block, one of a type that can be found anywhere in the world with same ‘features’ that have been 2 a penny for some time. Totally forgettable.
