Centrum Praskie Koneser – part of a living city
Centrum Praskie Koneser project which is to open in the autumn is a part of these trends. It was developed in Warsaw’s Praga district, in the city’s former vodka distillery. When designing the space, we tried to preserve its atmosphere, which makes up a part of the Praga district but at the same time we tried to combine it with modernity. And as it turned out we were right to do so because Google then opened its campus there. Koneser will serve many uses with space for offices, apartments, retail, restaurants and cafés, hotels and conference and exhibition halls. We plan to set up a nursery school in one of the buildings. The area will be open and we have also made plans for Koneser square , which is to be a place for public events –and we’ve put the history of the former distillery back into the project by opening the Museum of Polish Vodka within the complex. We would like to host events such as art exhibitions within the complex. We have also allocated 30 pct of the retail area to restaurants and cafés. Koneser will include a wide variety of restaurants so that everyone can find something they like. We hope that this place will continue to be full of life after working hours, which was always our intention – to create a unique space, Warsaw’s first lifestyle centre and to give it back to the city and its residents as an important part of the Warsaw.
