This document summarizes the development of the office market in Bratislava, Slovakia from 1989 to the present. It discusses how the market started with refurbishments and built-to-suit developments due to the lack of modern commercial space after political changes in 1989. Two pioneering speculative office projects from 1997-1999 and 2003-2006 demonstrated the potential for non-prelease development and helped establish the real estate development industry. The current Bratislava office market is analyzed in comparison to other European cities, with total stock of 1.5 million sqm and a vacancy rate of 13%. Looking ahead, the document forecasts continued development of around 80,000 sqm of new office space annually, with a stronger focus on

Rental take-up fell in the southern markets of Vaihingen and Möhringen likely due to a lack of new space, particularly for small premises. The northern markets benefited from land development by automotive companies. The largest individual lease was 12,000 square meters in the Bülow Carré building to a law firm.

2. A new format for FOCUS ON ZINC
Your reactions to our special issue concerning
the ARCHIZINC trophy have been extremely
positive, in terms of both content and form. For
the editorial team, this edition was a turning
point as the magazine reaches a level of
maturity where editorial choices can be made
with outside partners, and where architectural
interest takes pride of place within our selected
information.
We have decided to mark this turning point
with a redesigned layout for the magazine,
bringing it right up to date and more in line
with your preferences, emphasizing
photographs and graphics, supported by low-
key textual contribution.
We hope that this issue will validate these
choices, with a traditional editorial choice of
projects. At the same time, it is also intended
to serve as a springboard for our next
ARCHIZINC trophy. Enclosed with the magazine,
you will find the entry form for the next
edition of the trophy, and we hope to receive a
selection of projects that will be at least as
enriching as the last one. As before, projects
will be submitted to an independent jury, and
the trophy winners will be presented in a
special issue of FOCUS ON ZINC issued in
September 2006.
Both ourselves as editors, and you as readers,
were delighted with the first ARCHIZINC trophy,
so we hope we can count on you for another
truly enriching experience.
The editorial committee
The number of projects proposed to our editorial
team of FOCUS ON ZINC has risen sharply. Far
more than a sign of the success of the magazine,
we take this as a success for our overall
commercial offer.
Today we have to take this offer far beyond the
standards of quality and proximity that we have
been used to providing. Market demands change
fast and we have to adapt our offer to new
applications, whether for local conditions in
a specific geographical area, or for building
applications where zinc is relatively new, such as
those in the area of facades, or for the increasing
constraints related to environmental issues.
These considerations have far-reaching
implications for our production and we are
investing in modernizing and upgrading our
facilities in all our main plants.
Other implications are on the jobs that are
expected from us. Over the years, the services
we provide have extended progressively and our
commercial teams are becoming increasingly
specialized and highly qualified. Our teams are at
your service, whenever and wherever in the world
you may need them. We are convinced we have
made the right choice in putting a complete
palette of services at your disposal and we hope
to continue to surprise and delight you, not only
through the quality and diversity of our offer, but
also through the values associated with our brand,
which we strive to demonstrate whenever we
meet you.

VARIATION ON A THEME
While decidedly original, Presspoint blends
perfectly with the private houses that surround it
in the suburbs of Gand. It is a stylistic composition,
extemporizing on the theme of versatility and
differentiation. Versatility of function, since the
building, used as an office at present, will become
a private house one day. Differentiation, because
the architect has renounced traditional design in
favour of fluidity of movement. He sees this as
necessary to achieve the “expected versatility and
the requisite smooth transition between the two
concepts”. A study in contrasts, Presspoint
emphasizes the light and transparency of the
interior spaces and the closed and monolithic
character of its facades – magnificently enhanced
by cladding in ANTHRA-ZINC.

Turin to the west and Udine to the east, two northern Italian cities which
face the mountains on one side and overlook the plain on the other. Built
in the centre or on the edge of these cities, three zinc clad buildings,
- one housing flats, the others offices - speak to us, each in their own
way, of transition and contrast. In Turin, the initial impression is of the
continuity of a block of flats built on the edge of an industrial zone, while
the Collegno 2000 office building, bordering on a predominantly rural
area, plays on opacity and transparency. In Udine the tone is radically
different, the daytime dark aspect of the ANTHRA-ZINC clad Astra tower
only becomes luminous when night falls.

8. FASCINATING RHYTHM
In Washington, the head offices of the Kayser Family
Foundation, which provides grants to support the fight
against AIDS, are situated in an urban landscape more
reminiscent of New York than the open spaces around
the nearby White House. Although the building is no
skyscraper, the architect emphasises its height drawing
the eye upward by means of a soaring glass facade
surmounted by an elegantly curved balcony.
Horizontal laid zinc aprons echo the balcony at each
level of the facade and on one side of the building.
These zinc panels, manufactured in the USA by the
POHL company, are installed using a pin fixed to a rail
– a fast, practical system which makes on-site
transforming unnecessary.

10. A FRESH START
1,000 km from Brasilia, the capital built ex nihilo
at the end of the 1950s, São Paulo, as its many
monuments attest, is a historic city. Built in 1901,
in a style that would do justice to Paris or London,
its central station is part of an urban heritage
which the Sao Paolians wanted to preserve and
rehabilitate. In its choice of the most appropriate
roofing material for a coherent renovation, the
Roberto Marinho foundation turned to Umicore’s
technical support team. Now the old
administrative building, clad in 4,000 sq. m of
pre-weathered rolled zinc, is off to a fresh start,
remaining true to its vocation of communication as
it is now dedicated to the preservation of the
Portuguese language.

12. NATURAL SURROUNDINGS
The Poles go to Sopot, on the Baltic not far from
Gdansk, for relaxation and for a change of scene
in a European tradition of seaside resorts close to
large conurbations. The first constraint in building
the Water Park – with its bathing facilities,
bowling alley, restaurants and even offices – was
to respect the surrounding beech forest which
extends right up to the shore. To do this, the
designers limited the height of the building and
clad it in materials – particularly zinc – which
harmonise with the seasons and the colours of
the forest and are suited to the rigorous climate.

14. URBAN DYNAMICS
Barcelona, a city on the move, has recently
boasted a new development on its north-east
shore, the Forum de las Culturas, a major attraction
which has established it as the most European of
Spain’s big cities. Covering 200 ha, the Forum is
organized around an esplanade and three
peninsulas. This new seafront facing both the sea
and the city exemplifies the most innovative
architectural and urban trends by associating a
recreational harbour, a bathing area, an aquarium,
etc. with distinctly public facilities – apartments,
university buildings, offices… In the heart of this
complex rises the Centro de Convenciones
Internacional de Barcelona (CCIB); built around a
3,200 seat auditorium, finally allowing the ancient
Catalan city to compete in organizing conventions
with the big northern capitals such as London,
Berlin, Amsterdam and Vienna.

16. A NEW LOOK
“What is a school? – a collection of classrooms!”
Strictly translated into three dimensions this
definition has given rise to hundreds of
interchangeable buildings throughout France. By
contrast, the architect Jean-Luc Gueho seems to
have asked, “What can I do?” when he thought
about the extension to the Beaumanoir middle
school in Ploërmel (Morbihan). Lines, materials,
colours… he has played in every register so that his
project fits the spirit and climate of its
surroundings. Inside, the curved roof adds volume
to the space dedicated to the documentation and
information (CDI) centre and to the multimedia
rooms. And on the outside, the zinc cladding
makes light of the vagaries of the weather.

«The slightly sloping roof, which allowed us to
work with the volume and improve the quality of
the interior spaces, led us to choose zinc roofing.
The watertightness of this solution meets the
expectations of owners, for it reduces
maintenance work. Moreover, it provides better
soundproofing than concrete roof terraces.»

18. REBIRTH
Beirut has turned its face towards the future
without turning its back on its past. This message
is clear in the approach taken by architect Youssef
Haidar to the restoration of the city’s oldest
monument: the Al Omari Great Mosque.
Painstakingly preserved, the walls of the XIIth
Century edifice, on which the mosque was built,
shelter a thousand-year history of memories. To
bring this heritage into the present, the architect
has created a museum and auditorium in the
basement. New additions, – a courtyard, a gallery
with twelve cupolas and a minaret – extend the
monument and communicate physically and
spiritually with the revived city and the heavens.

«In addition to the restoration work required, we undertook to create

a new beginning…»

PROTECTIVE WING
«This is the first time that the VM ZINC PLUS compact roofing
system has been used in Spain. The system is characterised
by its complete watertightness and the elimination of the
risks of thermal bridges.
The VM ZINC PLUS process is a key element of the system
as the zinc is protected on the underside by a 60 micrometer
polymerised resin based lacquer, and has been patented by
Umicore.»
Juan Cortes, Umicore Building Products Ibérica - Spain
An extension is always a delicate project,
particularly when it concerns a symbolic building
like this internationally renowned museum. The
primary consideration of the Jean Nouvel
architectural team (AJN) in enlarging the Queen
Sofia museum in Madrid, was to respect the
imposing Sabatini building, home of Guernica and
many other masterpieces, and express the
allegiance of the new buildings. A library, an
auditorium and temporary exhibition rooms
surround a treed courtyard and are united beneath
an immense wing which both attaches and
subjugates them to the main building. “In order to
expand, the museum has spread a delicate wing
in the same colour as the roofs, a friendly,
protective wing, to show visitors it is watching
over them,” says Jean Nouvel.

22. FREE STYLE
Respect for the independence of the parts and
integration into a whole. These two key requirements
of the specifications for the extension of the České
Budějovice skating rink, in Bohemia, are expressed
architecturally by a roof whose underside inevitably
reflects the icy surface on which the skaters practise
their skills. Joining the existing building and the new
ones, this roof will have to stand up to wind, rain,
snow and ice. It combines a wood and steel structure
with a QUARTZ-ZINC®
covering - the ideal material to
hug the elliptical profile smoothly.

24. CONNECTIONS
Built on a terrace opening on to a view of the city,
the new conference and exhibition centre in
Merida tunes into the spirit of its surroundings and
offers visitors an auditorium, conference and
exhibition halls. The building suggests
interconnection between outside and inside spaces
by giving priority to movement and flow,
emphasizing connecting passages more than
enclosed spaces. With a stage open at the back,
the 1,000-seat auditorium is connected to the
small meeting room to invite us to new
explorations. This message is discreetly echoed by
the zinc, which is more in evidence on the inside,
cladding walls and covering panels and doors, than
on the outside where the architect has given the
leading role to highly textured concrete – whose
motifs present a mosaic plan of the city.

To the south of Namur, the Chevetogne estate is
an immense “green” leisure park known and
appreciated by Walloons of all ages. Discovering
the flora and fauna, exploring gardens, horse-
riding, mountain bike, games, music, good food,
etc.; there is an abundance of choice. But how
indeed can anyone choose? Visitors are channelled
through the visitor reception, built at the edge of
the park, before they can walk out along its paths.
Inspired by the spiralling movement of beech
leaves falling to the ground, the architect’s design
and the colours used were a natural development
–and visitors now refer to it as the “feuille
d’information”– a leaf from the guidebook!

27. DEDICATED TO BUSINESS
With its curved facade, which echoes the adjacent
motorway, and with signs advertising the leading
brands that are the signature of today’s capitals,
Prague’s BB Centrum has a family resemblance
with the business centres that flourish in all major
modern metropolises. It holds its own with its
public areas, company restaurants, car parks, etc.,
and through services and prestige. In addition to
aesthetic considerations, the architects wanted to
protect the building from the urban atmosphere,
hence their choice of zinc, which convinced both
by its technical performance and by its aesthetics.

28. TIMELESS
Watching a river flow past invites us to meditate
on time. Perhaps because it overlooks the
Brisbane River, or perhaps because the activities it
houses – cinema, television – fix the images of
passing time, the new head office of the Cutting
Edge group seems to inspire this kind of reflection.
By choosing sculptural lines and a very
contemporary profile for the project and combining
materials such as zinc that bear the patina of time,
with those such as cement and glass which age
without changing, the architect, Richard Kirk
wanted to express his vision of a timeless creation.
He has succeeded: the work has just been
immortalised by receiving the Royal Australian
Institute of Architects (RAIA) prize for best
commercial project.

30. SUSTAINABLE VALUES
In Switzerland, everyone knows the saga of Migros,
the distribution company created in 1925 by
Gottlieb Duttweiler, a visionary and forerunner of
what today we would call social responsibility. Its
delivery trucks supplied villages until the 1980s.
The group became very powerful without
abandoning the quality of life values which made it
famous, and opened shops, then built shopping
centres. The one it has just built in the north of
Switzerland in Herzogenbuchsee is both a return to
its roots and a confirmation of its avant-garde
spirit. A return to its roots because
Herzogenbuchsee also makes quality of life its
motto and credo. Avant-garde through its choice of
resolutely contemporary architecture and cladding
with locally manufactured cassettes. The
horizontally lines of the cassettes emphasise the
elongated profile the architect envisaged for the
building. The meticulous, very flat treatment of the
window frames and surrounds gives the building a
very smooth appearance.

32. TRADITION AND MODERNITY
Austrians do not wait for the snow to melt their
buildings into their surroundings. They have always
played with shapes and chosen natural materials
that blend their buildings into the surrounding rock
and tree landscape. Architect Ekkehard Stummvoll
has remained true to this tradition in designing the
building that houses the Fügen M-Preis “Mini-
market” in the Tyrol. The building, with its long
lines, blends into the horizon. The colour of the
zinc roof closely reflects soft wood hues and at the
least ray of sunshine the entire building glows
thanks to its natural wood facade.

34. OUT OF THE EARTH…
Water is an increasingly rare resource, and ever
more sophisticated technologies are being used to
distribute drinking water. On the edge of Århus,
the second biggest city in Denmark, the Østerby
waterworks draw water from an artesian well and
treat it before storing and distributing it. Hidden
underground, to protect them from light,
manmade processes and installations substitute for
Nature’s work of filtering and purifying. The only
evidence of these hidden operations and the
technology involved are the administration
buildings and public areas of the waterworks,
completely clad in ANTHRA-ZINC, which figuratively
rise out of the earth.
