Shopping Center Retro

RETRO is also a plan to return to Le Corbusier's ideals... ... to create a building that encompasses all the functions necessary for daily life...

The goal was to design urbanization in such a way that the area becomes an integral part of the city's overall structure. The concept applied a dominant central position for the complex directly at the site of the original Jadran. The new construction not only enlarged the philosophical but also the volumetric image of the Ružinov center. The RETRO polyfunctional building is a tectonic and expressive play of cubic masses of various sizes. The mass graduation follows clockwise direction, starting at the northeast corner and culminating in the dominant tower at the northwest. Titanium zinc sheets and composite panels were used on the facades. Structurally interesting are the prefabricated cantilevered balcony slabs anchored on isocorbs. STO Decoprofiles were used for the first time in Slovakia on the facades to complement the mass lines. Interior facades follow the exterior ones in scale, module, and color, aiming for unity that connects the interior and exterior. Skylights in the center further enhance the contact with the exterior and access to light. The underground part of the building houses spaces for large-capacity garages.

A wide range of apartments was chosen, from minimalist "studios" to 4-bedroom apartments. Duplex large-area apartments are also represented on the top floors. Each apartment includes a cellar storage and parking spaces in the basement. The high-rise building also has its own reception with security service. Functions on the ground floor and first floor include: supermarket, post office, bank, pharmacy, hairdresser, restaurants, cafes, fast food, various retail stores, locksmith service, bank, mobile operator, shoe repair, and more. Another function on the third floor is the sports and relaxation center. The third above-ground floor is dedicated to sports and wellness. The majority of this area comprises tennis courts. Additional functions include setting up a small clinic and administrative spaces.
