“We have never created architecture like this before! I call this project Perceptual Architecture, which changes style depending on the perspective. The superstructure of the building seen from the Dębnicki Bridge will have a Gothic character, from the position of the Vistula Boulevards it resembles Renaissance arcades, while from the level of Powiśle Street the superstructure changes into soft forms – reminiscences of Baroque ornamentation. We have thus achieved a new, dynamic form defined by the perception of the human eye in different ways.” Boguslaw Barnaś, BXB studio
