Architect 1st phase: Erick van Egeraat 2nd phase: Juraj Almássy, Peter Bouda, Richard Čečetka, Ivan Masár General Contractor Metrostav SK, a.s. Engineering Office Prodis plus, s.r.o. (Ltd) Construction Period From June 2006 to November 2010 Location Bratislava, Slovak Republic The River House is the dominant building of the multifunctional River Park complex on the left bank of the Danube River in Bratislava. This remarkable building consists of eight storeys which are carried by a prestressed concrete transfer structure on the level of the 1st and 2nd storey. The transfer structure is supported only by two massive cores and a pair of piers on the bank of the river. The flat slabs of the typical storeys have a complicated shape with several levels, various thicknesses and spans. The largest bay has a span of 8.80 x 7.35 m and the largest cantilever overhang is 3.45 m long. Quote of the Jury “The River House is selected because of its irregular trapezoidal shape, cantilever overhangs of 16 m and floors with curved rims, prestressed concrete transfer structure with two building phases. Several software options were applied, e.g. seismic analysis and optimization. Deflections were very important with regard to the glass façade. Long-time monitoring showed good accordance with the analysis results.”
