Radio and Television Building
The Slovak radio and television (RTVS) building is located near the historical centre of Košice, the second largest city in Slovakia. Like many other structures in downtown Košice, this is an older building that has been recently renovated. The aim of the project was to reconstruct the central administrative building to improve its efficiency and save on energy.
Another important aspect was the renovation of the facade. Our valued partner Swisspearl took on the challenge by incorporating a combination weather protection system and ventilated façade system with cladding made of vertically mounted Swisspearl copper coloured panels. The ventilated rhythm is enhanced by protruding grey plastered pilasters and vertical strip windows. The broadcast area façade, protruding above the surrounding of the control rooms and office spaces, is laid with naturally dried fibre cement panels ‘Reflex Amber 4071’ that are diagonally cut, creating an unconventionally dynamic feel.
Danucem was chosen as a trustworthy supplier for the project. Together with our partner, we have blended history and modern architectural solutions to keep the Slovak second biggest city’s landmark looking its best.
