Olivia Prime, a 55,000 m2 building, is now fully available – part B has been granted an occupancy permit, almost 2 years after part A. It is a completely unique building – each of its largest floors is nearly half a hectare of area, and due to the complicated shape of the two-part building, the project offers intimacy and comfort found in smaller buildings. Olivia Prime is one of the most employee-friendly office buildings in Poland, and at the same time ensures the highest standards of safety and ecology.

Olivia Prime is the newest building in Olivia Business Centre. So far, the largest area on its premises has been offered by Olivia Star (44,000 m2 of area), commissioned in 2018.

The building was designed by a Gdynia-based studio BJK Architects, and the design of each of the huge main halls and the entire interior of the building is by Design Anatomy. The main idea behind the creation of Olivia Prime was to care for the comfort and well-being of users: That is why we decided to build a large number of terraces and private, small loggias, allowing us to provide the comfort known from residential buildings – says Maciej Kotarski, Director of the Commercialization Department at Olivia Business Centre. For this reason, there are as many as 19 loggias in Olivia Prime. Experience shows that they are among the favorite spaces of employees, who are eager to take advantage of the opportunity to work on a deckchair, with a laptop on their lap. The building also offers 6 terraces (2 large and 4 small). Some of them are gable (roof) terraces used for relaxation, available to all employees of the building, including two with a view of the sea. A large private terrace is at the disposal of, for example, Sii company, at whose request we designed a huge dining room shared by the entire company. This form of lunch in the open air, available straight from the office, creates a completely new level of comfort in office buildings.

The interior design is in the spirit of biophilic design and power art: Olivia Prime is a unique building in every respect – says Anna Branicka from the Design Anatomy studio. We place great emphasis on the contact of its users with nature and natural materials. Extensive terraces, filled with vegetation, frequently appearing wood, as well as greenery suspended from the ceilings make an amazing impression in an ultra-modern office building. Power art is also an element of influencing the positive emotions of users. The building is saturated with art. Murals in the halls, walls designed like paintings by well-known Tri-City artists, screens in the main hall – sliding constructions in many planes. Some of them have electronic screens, while others are a fantastic medium for works of art, which we will change regularly. The combination of the biophilic trend and art allows us to fulfill two needs. The first is the harmony of spirit and the sense of contact with nature through plants, soft furniture and natural materials. The second need is to provide a sense that this is where we gain positive energy. Entering work is supposed to make us smile, energize, make us feel a surge of power and want to act. Creatively, with enthusiasm and optimism – that’s what art and changeability are for.

Olivia Prime is one of only 4 buildings in Poland with an all-glass, ventilated triple-glazed façade, which provides the best possible lighting of the interior, and on winter and autumn days allows maximum access to daylight, which is so important for humans. This allows you to ensure better well-being of your employees and constant access to fresh air. In spring and summer, despite full glazing, the triple-glazed façade prevents overheating and provides thermal comfort even on very sunny days.

The building ensures the highest standards in the area of safety, energy and epidemiology.

Olivia Prime is probably the safest building in Poland when it comes to business continuity – says Maciej Kotarski. It is perfectly protected in terms of energy, thanks to the power supply from 3 independent sources, as well as thanks to the building’s UPS installations, a set of power generators and internal power lines between the buildings, enabling power supply to the entire building during power outages from the outside. An important element of safety is the additional guarantees of suppliers ensuring that the generators are refuelled during operation in the event of a prolonged power outage. An interesting fact – we have a unique, emergency running water tank, which allows the building to function even in the event of a network failure and lack of water supply. This is very important, because in the event of a lack of water supply, every office building has to be closed after a few hours: the inability to flush toilets causes an obvious epidemiological threat.

In the current situation of the state of epidemic, the most modern contactless systems are an additional security: a contactless system for entering the building, which allows you not only to pass through access control, but at the same time to call the elevator contactlessly. In addition, water and soap in the toilets are operated without contact. Epidemiological safety is ensured by hygienic paper towels, which do not pose a risk of spraying germs, such as air blowers

Tenant:

The building is divided into two parts. In part A, almost all floors are leased by global corporations such as Amazon, Arrow, Deloitte, EPAM and Sii. Most of the building is occupied by IT companies, and the Amazon offices located here, dedicated to Amazon Web Services, should be treated in a similar way.

In part B, EPAM and Arrow lease offices. Both Epam and Arrow will occupy floors in both parts of the building – A and B, and such one floor has about 3800 m2 of space.

It is in Olivia Prime that one of the most attractive and largest offices in Pomerania and Olivia Business Centre is located – the Sii office. It has 5 floors, each with 2,000 floors. m2 (a total of one hectare of offices), connected by slides and internal staircases, with its own terrace next to the huge dining room, with numerous private loggias, a gym and a climbing wall on 2 floors.

The office won an award in the Office Superstar competition organized by CBRE for the best recreational space in Poland and a distinction for the best office in the Tri-City. The author of Sii’s interior design project is also the Design Anatomy studio, i.e. a team of architects from Olivia Business Centre.
