Poland Craft is truly Outstanding

BREEAM assesses, among others, the building’s quality, its friendliness to the natural environment, and comfort level of its users. The assessment is made at every stage of the project implementation process. The certificate for Craft has been awarded based on the BREEAM International New Construction 2016 scheme. The Ghelamco project has received a score of over 90 pct. The company was supported by Sweco Poland, which coordinated the certification process and also helped the developer obtain certificates for its earlier projects.

In addition to BREEAM, Craft is also Green Building Standard and WELL pre-certified, and is in the process of WELL v2 and WELL Health-Safety Rating certification. The office building includes charging stations for electric vehicles, bicycle parking with facilities, car parking with 218 spaces in the underground garage and an additional 28 in front of the building. The building’s interiors are equipped with anti-pandemic solutions, such as virucidal UV lamps in lifts and ventilation systems. Craft was designed by Pracownia Architektoniczna Czora & Czora based in Katowice.

Ghelamco was the first developer in Poland to receive a BREEAM certificate for its project. In 2010 it was obtained by the Trinity Park III office building in Warsaw’s Służewiec district. Since then, all of the developer’s office projects have been certified under the BREEAM system. An Outstanding rating has so far been awarded to four projects from Ghelamco’s portfolio: Wronia 31 and Warsaw Unit in Warsaw, Kreo in Kraków and Craft in Katowice.
