KCAP Designs Two Skyscrapers in Bratislava, Slovakia

KCAP has been chosen to design two new skyscrapers in Bratislava, Slovakia. Respectively standing at 260 meters and 180 meters tall, these towers will become key additions to the city's skyline and contribute significantly to its urban landscape by providing over 1,100 residential units with extensive city and landscape views. This district, once an industrial zone, has undergone substantial redevelopment, transforming into a mixed-use urban hub that combines residential, commercial, and leisure spaces. The new towers support this ongoing urban renewal, offering easy access to public transport and nearby cultural landmarks.
