Warsaw Spire

Project characteristics:

The skyscraper has a specifically designed escape tunnel. It consists of two overlapping segments; in the case of a fire, the segments slide out from the corridor to the open space of the building and facilitate quick evacuation of people from the top floors of the office building. When the tunnel is activated, the emergency lights inside come on, while the door in the façade through which the tunnel slides out, open automatically immediately after the fire alarm comes on.

Escape tunnel:
- EI 60 rated tunnel enclosure

The escape tunnel at the Warsaw Spire is an undisputed alternative to existing emergency egress systems to date. It is an innovative, patented solution.

The Warsaw Spire is a complex of office buildings in the centre of Warsaw. The total developed area of this multi-storey structure is more than 104,000 m2 and the useful floor area is 60,000 m2. It is intended to be a utility building and it owes its functionality and innovation not only to superior ergonomics, but also to its fire protection and evacuation solutions. The building is the tallest structure of its kind in the capital and one of the tallest skyscrapers in Europe.

It won the first place in the Eurobuild Awards 2011 for the Outstanding Architectural Design of the Year in Poland.
