About the Project:
Designed by the world famous Sir Norman Foster, the Metropolitan is his first project in central Europe. The former site of the royal residence, the Metropolitain occupies a most prestigious location fronting onto historic Pitsudski Square and is considered to the cultural center of Warsaw. The building is the uncommon combination of location, architecture and technolgy. At the heart of the building is the central courtyard with a dry plaza water feature. The water enlivens this space and provides interaction for its commercial and retail visitors.
