Pekao S.A. Bank
The bank building has a shape of a massive yet articulated rotunda containing the main hall. Concrete structural elements outside the building are very characteristic as massive and expressive. Through their certain ‘secession’ from the elevation they render it austere yet light and transparent. The building is an example of mature Late Modern architecture, close to Brutalism. Moreover, it is one of the few realised structures which were designed wholly individually and whose features are typical of our architecture preceding Postmodernism. The rotunda is accompanied by a semi-circular residential and office building whose elevations are cut by dynamic, vertical accents of entrances and staircases. A glazed passage connects the two parts into one compositional, stylistically coherent whole.
