The architects chose a dynamic form over a conservative dignity in response to the chaotic post-industrial neighborhood where offices of the nouveau riche were mixed with dilapidated pre-war tenements.
Every office floor in the tower is divided into three sections, the middle of which fulfills the transportation role as well as acts as a gap through the entire building. The exterior stone wall of the back section penetrates the interior atriums skillfuly covering up the border between the interior and the exterior of the building.
Kredyt Bank's headquarters consists of two parts, the 60-meter high tower and a lower wing housing management offices.
The south, double curtain-wall façade towers above the main roof making an impression of covering up the edifice's outline against a sky background.
Vertically, Kredyt Bank is divided into six standard three-storey sections - each of them featuring an atrium containing a bamboo grove.
The building was erected in a zone that grew during the spontaneous building boom of the 1990s.
