Kapelanka 42 is a modern office building located in the southern part of Krakow near the historic centre of Poland’s cultural capital. The building is characterised by the juxtaposition of two dynamic blocks connected by a high representative entrance hall with terraces on the roof. The façade of the building is composed of horizontal stripes of glazing preceded by vertical opaque elements made of aluminium panels painted white with golden reflection. The technological and installation solutions used in the building are environmentally friendly.
