Engineering Office PRODIS plus, s.r.o., Račianska 71, Bratislava Construction Period 09/2016 - 10/2017 In the lucrative location of Bratislava city, on the Danube embankment, near the Slovak National Theatre and Eurovea shopping mall, the new epicentre of city life - the Panorama City multifunctional complex is growing. The Panorama Business III building is an ideal choice for companies looking for their new headquarters. Services on the ground floor, terraces, view of the city, restaurants and great location – the building has everything, while providing one of the most effective floor areas on the market. It offers 22,000 m² of rentable area, covering 15 above ground floors with about 380 parking places. It provides all the latest standards and it also has the ambition to obtain the Leed Gold certificate. The load-bearing structure is formed by the non-standard skeleton, with dominating exterior leaning columns of raw concrete of a height of three floors. The difficult task during the design was to find the optimal amount of concrete reinforcement in ensuring the optimum thickness of the load-bearing members. The task was to optimise the structural design which was then subjected to a rigorous audit of safety and economy. The design of the load- bearing structure together with meeting the strict safety criteria of European standards was achieved by application of modelling tools like averaging strips, mesh refinement, together with the possibility of a precise geometrical modelling of load-bearing members, reduction of axial and bending stiffness during the global analysis as well as the modelling of the subsoil with piles.
