Area: 82M2 (882.64 FT2)
PROJECT ANALYSIS Warsaw Spire is considered to be one of the most reputable Polish office building projects. The building consists of 49 floors,
spreading across 129,336 m2. The 220-metre main tower features a hyperboloid glass façade and has two auxiliary buildings - Warsaw Spires B and C. Warsaw Spire is the second tallest building
in both Warsaw, and Poland as a whole. It has been constructed by the Belgian company, Ghelamco, and is arguably regarded as the most prestigious office building in Poland. Aiming to inspire in both aesthetics and
security, these offices empower employees from all around the world to innovate by providing as much natural light as possible, along with ensuring optimum fire safety.
THE RESULT With the global consulting power that is involved in end-to-end digital solutions, Luxoft exclusively features Alufire products in its head offices in Warsaw Spire, providing comprehensive and proven fire-protection solutions.
For this project, the corridors are filled
with Alufire Vision Line Partitions; this ensures a noise-free workplace and gives a modern, transparent look to the office space. Specifically, the Vision Line partitions do allow the light to get to difficult to reach places in the office, providing as much natural light as possible.
THE PRODUCT Alufire Vision Line gives architects the option to specify clear, sound-insulating, fire-resistant glazed partitions with fire resistance of up to 60 minutes. The system features sound reduction of up to 47 dB and is certified as EI, providing integrity and insulation. Vision Line can also certify as REI, subject to certain criteria being achieved. The system offers unlimited possibilities to designers who wish to create sophisticated interiors with extended transparent sight lines, which are both visually stunning and offer a high degree of safety. With Alufire Vision Line, the black opaque silicone often used in frameless systems has been replaced with an almost transparent 4-6mm silicone layer that can be painted in 3 different colours. Additionally, the glass-to glass connection
options give the architect or interior designer the tools to create the most amazing interior spaces without having to compromise on fire resistance.
