Stability

The structural and geotechnical design of the ZLATEN VEK building was successively reviewed by the engineering firm Rene Lagos, Chile, and an independent structural assessment was prepared for the various design stages. Finally, the building was checked with one of the most modern codes for tall buildings in seismic areas: the Los Angeles Tall Building Structural Design Council Code of 2011 (LATBSDC, 2011). The design assessment using nonlinear analysis and taking into account the real behavior of the building during an earthquake with the following conclusion: (document: RLE-NT-2016216-0005-A) The overall performance of the ZLATEN VEK building fully meets the requirements of the LATBSDC, 2011 codes, both for normal operation and for the maximum possible earthquake (with a reference recurrence period of 2475 years).

Fire alarms

An automatic fire alarm system based on an intelligent fire alarm control panel is provided for the entire building. Each floor in the building is equipped with two fire hydrants located in the lobbies/apartment entrances. The building is equipped with a voice announcement system in critical situations. Pre-recorded evacuation messages can be broadcast in specific areas by risk priority, as well as by priority from an operator or firefighter. To ensure that residents are informed of an emergency situation in the building, additional speakers are located in the common areas, as well as in the corridors and entrances of each apartment.

Acoustic Comport

Excellent noise insulation, through floors and ceilings, through the so-called "floating floor" - 20 mm. stone wool with a high density of 200 kg/m3 located between the reinforced concrete slab and the cement screed. The cement screed is separated from the wall structure and the supporting elements of the building, by an insulating tape, preventing the spread of impact noise along the structural elements of the building. The partition walls between the individual properties in the building will be completed with the latest drywall technologies with a double burglar-resistant structure with an additional layer of sheet metal and mineral wool filling, in order to ensure noise insulation between neighboring properties.

Warmth and Coziness

Individual air conditioning systems (freon system) will be installed in each property. The air conditioning system allows operation in heating and cooling modes, independent of the central heating system. Individual ventilation with recuperation is provided in each property. The ventilation system provides fresh air for the residents and ventilation of the premises. The facade ventilation grilles for fresh and exhaust air of the system will be located in installation niches on the facade of the building.

Professional and Environment-friendly

The structure is made of high-strength concrete with special additives, and at each stage of the construction, real tests are conducted for the quality of the reinforcement and concrete. The highest class formwork is used, ensuring the smoothness and quality of the reinforced concrete structure. A series of piles have been installed under the foundation of the building, ensuring minimal and uniform settlement of the ground. Electronic sensors are installed in the piles, allowing real control of the settlement throughout the construction period.

Comfort is a must

“We are building from the inside out” say from the company. “We evoke the image of a person, follow his/her movements at home, in the building, at home and thus we go to the concept of the living space and the whole building, which means that we build around the person”. The current vision of the building comes after a series of rejected spectacular designs. The reason? An impressive facade does not justify sacrifying the optimal natural lighting, or compromising the functional distribution of the living spaces. In other words, in ARTEKS they say “This is it!” only when the intersection point of the undoubted comfort of habitation and the admirable building vision is found.

Monumental art

The ZLATEN VEK features a work of monumental art with its unusual silhouette, the stylized arch that surrounds the building and rises above it. With fully opening windows, elegantly curved recessed balconies and glass facade, the building is open to its surrounding environment, enveloped and penetrated by the sun. The play of rays and shadows, clouds and stars throughout the day and night will make it always new and surprising.
