We've just had the rare opportunity to introduce our heritage-protected projects at the XVI Conference on Conservation and Architecture in Warsaw, held on 20-21 November. The event, attended by more than 250 people, showcased the most historically valuable realizations that are changing the face of major Polish cities today.    Klaudia Ozcelik and Dorota Gołębiewska presented good practice in preparing a building under strict conservation care for redevelopment, using the example of the Telephone and Telegraph Office at 45 Nowogrodzka St. in Warsaw. Our second project was the revitalization of the main post office in Krakow, which will be underway soon. Restoring the splendor of this magnificent building poses many challenges, including those of a design nature. The topic was brought closer by Tomasz Dabrowski and Michał Rudnicki from @BE Architects Krakow.    The conference concluded with a debate among experts and practitioners on the responsibility of developers for the shape of Polish urban planning, attended by Tomasz Dabrowski. Kinga Nowakowska, Anna Watkowska, Piotr Grochowski and Mariusz Scislo  it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to have this discussion at your company.   We would like to thank the participants of the conference "Między ortodoksją a kreacją" for the full room and enthusiastic participation and the organizers: Trygon Agencja Autorska (Elżbieta and Andrzej Czyżewscy,) SARP and NIAiU for the uplifting atmosphere of the meeting. #Miedzyortodoksjaakreacja #Event #Conference #Architecture #Revitalization #Urban #Historic

The first day of the conference, 'Między ortodoksją a kreacją’ will feature a 👉 discussion on the responsibility of developers for the shape of Polish urban planning. Tomasz Dabrowski together with Kinga Nowakowska, Anna Watkowska, Piotr Grochowski, Mariusz Scislo and Maciej Zajdel will take up the topic of restructuring degraded urban buildings and talk about how to integrate them into the existing urban fabric and positively influence the reconstruction of entire neighboring urban areas. The essence of the discussion will be primarily the contribution of real estate development companies in initiating, restoring and creating conditions for preserving endangered buildings or entire complexes and reintegrating them into the urban landscape.    👉 The meeting, which will be broadcast via Internet links, will be a unique opportunity to communicate any problems related to the preservation of architectural and urban heritage in connection with the ongoing work, and to showcase the excellent results of these activities.   Program details 👉 https://lnkd.in/dzT88n67

On November 20, we invite you to a lecture entitled 👉 'The Main Post Office Building in Krakow - a return to splendor. Presentation of the reconstruction and adaptation of a historic building.', which will be presented by Tomasz Dabrowski (Zeitgeist Asset Management) and Michał Rudnicki (Baumschlager Eberle Architekci Kraków). The speakers 👉 introduce the concept of revitalizing the interior and facade of this extremely valuable building. The presentation will take place as part of the 👉 conservation and architectural conference 'Między ortodoksją a kreacją'. The Main Post Office at 2 Wielopole Street in the center of Krakow - a beautiful and iconic building - will soon gain new life through revitalization carried out by ZEITGEIST Asset Management. The former offices and vacant buildings will be replaced by a high-end hotel with a new interior courtyard. It is intended that the future hotel will be an open and resident-friendly. The building is an important landmark of historic Krakow. It was built between 1887 and 1889, designed by Franz Setz. Over time, the edifice has served various functions, it has been rebuilt many times, and the facade, originally finished with stucco, has been covered up with other materials. In the 1930s, the post office was renovated and expanded according to a design by Frederick Tadanier, a Krakow architect of the modernism era. Subsequent reconstructions, carried out in the years of the PRL, destroyed many elements of the old architecture, and the addition of a modern hotel in place of the Pareński Palace changed the urban context. After the building's change of ownership in 2019, stratigraphic and excavation research was conducted in the post office building under the direction of conservator Bożena Boba-Dyga and architectural research by Dr. Anna Bojaś-Białasik. A total of 729 probes and excavations were carried out during the research. The knowledge gained from these surveys allowed architects from the Baumschlager Eberle studio to design a concept for the renovation, taking into account the most historically important elements. The lecture will take place: Wednesday, 20 November 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. 2 Foksal Street Warsaw For more information about the conference, visit https://lnkd.in/dcPm4wMe #Conference #Architecture #Revitalisation #Monuments #Historic #Building #Lecture #Event

Breaking news! The historic Palác Dunaj has been awarded first place in the Best of Realty competition in the "Reconstructed Offices" category 🎉   This prestigious distinction confirms that the reconstruction successfully combined the high standards of modern offices with respect for the original constructivist architecture of the Palace.   'Combining history with modern technology was a challenge, but it was definitely worth it. The proof is in the award in such a prestigious competition and the enthusiastic feedback from our tenants,' says Peter Noack. 'At Palác Dunaj we have retained the distinctive beige travertine cladding that gives the building its unique look, as well as the central atrium with its original paternoster and terrazzo floor. An extension with a sloping terrace is a new addition that blends in with the building and its surroundings. State-of-the-art technology was used to ensure efficient heating, cooling and a constant supply of fresh air'. - Michal Nečas adds.   The nominations were decided by a twelve-member jury of experts from the Association for Real Estate Market Development (ARTN), members of professional associations, banks, urban planners, architects, market analysts and estate agents in the region. The award was accepted by Zeitgeist representatives: Peter Noack (Co-Founder and CEO) and Jaromír Zahrada (Asset Manager) from Best of Realty jury member Lenka Šindelářová (Head of Research & Consultancy at Knight Frank) and Petr Šimůnek, editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine, the competition's media partner.   Palác Dunaj is located on the corner of Národní and Voršilská streets in the cultural centre of Prague, close to the National Theatre, Slavie Café and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. Zeitgeist Asset Management bought the original 100-year-old building in 2017 for a German pension fund, with the aim of modernising it while preserving its historical value. The newly renovated palace was opened in November last year. It offers a total of 6,700 sqm of prime office space and 2,000 sqm of retail and commercial space.   Tenants include the National Representation of the European Commission and the Office of the European Parliament with an interactive centre, the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Czech Bar Association and the law firm CMS. #Award #FirstPlace #ReconstructedOffices #Prague #Offices

Looking at the skyscrapers of today's Warsaw, it's hard to imagine the city's skyline from 100 years ago, when tenements usually reached 4-5 stories. The breakthrough was initiated by the first steel-framed skyscrapers - and among them the pearl was the Telephones and Telegraph building, which after almost a century is now being prepared for renovation. How to prepare such an object for revitalization will be presented by Klaudia Ozcelik (Zeitgeist Asset Management) and Dorota Gołębiewska (Towarzystwo Opieki na Zabytkami) in the lecture during the conservation and architectural conference 'Między ortodoksją a kreacją’. The building of the former Telecommunications and Telegraph Office at 45 Nowogrodzka Street in Warsaw is the most historically valuable building, which is part of the revitalized quarter between Nowogrodzka, Poznanska and Św. Barbary Streets. In 2019, the property complex was purchased from Orange by Zeitgeist Asset Management. Nowogrodzka 45 is an outstanding example of functionalist architecture in pre-war Warsaw. Just as important as the innovative steel construction, was the significance of the building as the headquarters of the newly established Telecommunications Office. This office made possible the widespread availability in Poland of one of the most groundbreaking inventions of telecommunications - the telegraph. The building was designed in 1929 by a new general designer from the Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs, Julian Puterman. In the coming years, working closely with historians and conservators, a building unique in Europe will be created here, where the historic fabric and new technologies will work together in the rhythm of nature. Before this can happen, detailed historical, stratigraphic and architectural research was necessary. We invite you to a lecture that will present a selection of the research carried out on the site over the past five years, as well as present the most interesting discoveries and publications.

Interiors in the spirit of the era, with cellings more than 4 metres high, original roof trusses and preserved old door woodwork - these are just some of the highlights of our latest finalized project. We are proud to announce we have just put into use the revitalised tenement house ‘Wrzesińska 2 - HOME by Zeitgeist’ in the Stara Praga district in Warsaw. The building offers atmospheric flats for long-term rental. ‘It's a place for people who, alongside comfort, are looking for something more. Old architecture, unconventional spaces, uniqueness. That's why we have taken care to recreate historical details not only on the staircases and façade, but also in the apartments,’ - says Peter Noack. Future tenants of ‘Wrzesińska 2 - HOME by Zeitgeist’ can choose from interesting flat layouts ranging from 26 to 65sqm. We offer studios, 2- and 3- rooms apartments. The most distinctive interiors, with heights of up to 4.5 metres, are located on the top floor. They are enriched with mezzanine floors and elements of the historic roof truss, as well as restored wooden doors and windows. ‘We created these apartments with the idea of people who value their independence and need a place that is inspiring but not overwhelming. There are few locations in Warsaw that, while being so close to the centre, allow you to breathe in nature.’ - says Tomasz Dabrowski, Managing Director of Zeitgeist Asset Management. ‘I am convinced that our future tenants will appreciate these advantages.’ - he adds. Tenement is located in the heart of Stara Praga district, right next to the river harbour and near the new footbridge running to the other side of the Vistula. There are two metro stations nearby, as well as numerous buses and trams. It takes 15-20 minutes to get to the centre or the Old Town. The tenement's revitalisation is the second - after the completion of Wrzesińska 2a - stage of an investment entirely dedicated to long-term rental HOME by Zeitgeist. In total, the two buildings on Wrzesińska Street now offer 131 apartments. #revitalisation #tenement #Warsaw #Poland #LatestProject
