Artistic inspirations
The name of the project refers to the Austrian Gustav Klimt whose style of painting will also be reflected in the building's interior. "One will be able to see motifs [characteristic of] the artist's work in the building's carefully-arranged common areas. The apartment building itself has a simple form and the use of refined finishing materials refers to what is so fascinating about Klimt's art: a combination of sensuality, elegance and color," said Radosław Sojka of Mąka Sojka Architekci.
Klimt House will feature a reception hall and an inner square with greenery and a playground. The whole investment will be gated and monitored and will be provided with security solutions including video intercoms. Płock-based Vectra has been selected as the general contractor for the project, whose completion is scheduled for Q1 2010.
Construction on the building has already started and apartment sales are expected to be launched at the beginning of October. Apartment prices in Klimt House will range from zł.17,000-26,000 per sqm, and according to the developer, should not discourage potential buyers, even in the face of a slowdown in the residential market.
"We have not witnessed a decrease in apartment sales in our projects and we are optimistic about this scheme too," said Iwona Dekarz, director of the sales department at Echo Investment. She added that Klimt House belonged to a segment of the property market in which buyers' interest had not waned.
