Cameratta Residential Complex, Warsaw, Poland

The Cameratta residential complex was constructed in the Warsaw district of Mokotów, near the greenery of Warsaw Central Park (Pole Mokotowskie). The development represents a further phase in the Warsaw housing project known as Eko-Park.

In designing this stage of the investment, the architects, decided on a simple architectural approach and modelled their design on residential architecture of the 1920s and 30s. The project includes glass elements that differentiate the building and give them a modern appearance. Windows have been designed in various sizes and positions. The large windows on the upper levels are particularly eye-catching. In the Cameratta complex, the window woodwork includes Pilkington Insulight™ Protect insulating glass units, with class 2(B)2 laminated safety glass. On the ground floor, anti-intruder glazing has been used. In addition to safety and burglar-proof glass properties, the double glazed units demonstrate low emissivity, characterised by a low factor of U-value at the level of 1.1 W/m2K.

Not only the windows and sections of the façade have been constructed with glass. Pilkington Profilit™ profiled glass was incorporated in the stairwell glazing. Internal walls are also glazed with double sheets of Pilkington Profilit™ K25/60/7 wired glass, as well as Pilkington Profilit™ K25/60/7 Plus 1.7 low emissivity glass. Aside from aesthetic appeal, this ensured effective daytime illumination throughout the room, as well as insulation, which contributes to energy conservation.

The architects at the Bulanda, Mucha studio have used profiled glass on the higher floor balustrades. These opaque balustrades are made using double-shell Pilkington Profilit™ K25/60/7. One panel includes wired panels, ensuring greater privacy, which was one of the priorities for the residential complex, whilst providing exceptional aesthetics.

The Cameratta Residential Complex is a unique investment in the centre of Warsaw, differing greatly from standard residential blocks and apartments. The original design and surrounding greenery ensure residents exceptional comfort practically unfound in the city centre.
