KOGAA creates substance for the built environment, committing to architectural and urban planning projects with a positive impact on users, communities, and the local context. Through our projects, the practice tackles the issue of inactive structures and their adaptation into substitute functions. Based on a strong belief that the more the architect is involved in the whole process, the more efficient, coherent, and sustainable the building is, KOGAA takes pride in leading projects throughout the whole process from the strategy and business plan, through concept and feasibility studies, to technical documentation and getting the permissions, all the way to construction administration, and the strategy to generate attraction.

Description | The revitalization of shopping centers is one of the current themes of urban and architectural design. Our winning design of the reconstruction for Futurum shopping center sees the fragmentation of the original volume through matter and colour, bringing the building back to the human scale and, wherever possible, open it and present its contents. The existing limitations of the plot did not allow for significant extensions beyond the current floor plan, therefore the main gestures were designed in relation to the verticality of the building. This created a total of six “towers”, which accentuate the various operating elements that punch on the facade. This impression of a cluster of objects of different volumes is amplified towards the entrance to the visitors, where the scale of this suburban building is brought to dimensions comfortable to human perception. “All our interventions have made people coming to this center feel as if they were in the city and not on the outskirts.” (Tomas Kozelsky, design director/partner). The color scheme of the façade is another element that breaks the rigidity of the mass, and the gradual transition of colors enables the visitors to better orientate themselves in relation to the complicated traffic around the center. |
