In creating this facility, two offices joined forces: BJK Architects and Design Anatomy. The former are responsible for the resulting solid, the latter for its colorful interior. Office spaces increasingly resemble "playgrounds for adults," who need the right conditions to work in focus, but also to relax. At Olivia Prime, this has been easily achieved.
Olivia Prime, offering 55,000 square meters of building space, is now fully available. It is a completely unique building - each of its largest floors is nearly half an acre in size, while, through the complex shape of the two-building, the design offers intimacy and comfort found in buildings of smaller size. Olivia Prime is one of the most employee-friendly office buildings in Poland, while ensuring the highest standards of safety and ecology.
Olivia Prime is the newest building in Olivia Business Centre. So far, the largest space on its site has been offered by Olivia Star, completed in 2018. The building was designed by Gdynia-based studio BJK Architects, and the design of each of the giant main halls and the entire interior of the building is by Design Anatomy. The main idea behind the creation of Olivia Prime was to take care of the comfort and well-being of users:
That's why we decided to build a large number of terraces and private, undersized loggias, allowing to provide the comfort known from residential buildings , says Maciej Kotarski, director of the commercialization department of Olivia Business Centre. - For this reason, there are as many as 19 loggias in Olivia Prime. Experience shows that they are among the favorite spaces of employees, who enjoy the opportunity to work on a deck chair, with a laptop on their laps. The building also offers 6 terraces (2 large and 4 small). Some of them are gable (rooftop) terraces used for relaxation, available to all employees of the building, including two with sea views. A large private terrace is at the disposal of, for example, the Sii company, at whose request we designed a huge dining room shared by the entire company next to such a terrace. This form of outdoor lunch, accessible straight from the office, creates a whole new level of comfort in office buildings.
Art-inspired interiors

The interior design is kept in the spirit of biophilic design and power art:
Olivia Prime is a unique building in every respect ," says Anna Branicka of Design Anatomy studio. We put great emphasis on the contact of its users with nature and natural materials. Extensive terraces, filled with vegetation, often appearing wood, as well as greenery suspended from the ceilings make an incredible impression in an ultra-modern office building. Power art is also a part of influencing users' positive emotions. The building is saturated with art. Murals in the lobbies, walls designed like paintings by well-known Tri-City artists, screens in the main lobby, sliding structures in many planes. Electronic screens hang on some of them, while others are a fantastic medium for artworks, which we will change regularly. The combination of the biophilic trend and art allows us to fill two needs. The first is harmony of spirit and a sense of contact with nature through plants, soft furniture and natural materials. The second need is to provide a sense of positive energy here. The entrance to work is to make us smile, energize us, make us feel a surge of power and want to act. Creatively, With enthusiasm and optimism - that's what art and changeability serve.

Olivia Prime is one of only 4 buildings in Poland with an all-glass, ventilated triple-glazed facade, which gives the best possible interior lighting, and on winter and autumn days allows maximum access to the daylight that is so important to humans. This helps ensure better well-being of employees and continuous access to fresh air. In spring and summer, despite full glazing, the triple-glazed facade prevents overheating and ensures thermal comfort even on very sunny days.
Offices during empidemic
The building provides the highest standards in the areas of security, energy and epidemiology.
Olivia Prime is probably the safest building in Poland when it comes to business continuity, says Maciej Kotarski. - It is perfectly secure in terms of energy, thanks to power supply from 3 independent sources, as well as UPS installations, a set of power generators and internal power lines between buildings, allowing power supply to the entire building during external power outages. An important element of security is the additional guarantees of suppliers providing refueling of generators during operation, should the power outage be prolonged. An interesting fact - we have a unique emergency running water tank, which allows the building to function even in the event of a grid failure and lack of water supply. This is very important, because if there is no water supply, every office building has to be shut down after a few hours: the inability to flush toilets causes an obvious epidemiological threat.
In the current situation of an epidemic state, additional protection is provided by state-of-the-art contactless systems: a contactless building entry system, which allows not only to pass through access control, but also to call the elevator without contact. In addition to this, water and soap in the toilets are run without contact. Epidemiological safety is ensured by hygienic paper towels, which do not cause the risk of spraying germs like air blowers.
Tenants - who lives here?

The building is divided into two parts. In part A, almost all floors are leased, by global corporations like Amazon, Arrow, Deloitte, EPAM and Sii. Most of the building is occupied by IT companies, and Amazon's offices here, dedicated to Amazon Web Services, must be treated similarly.
Part B offices are leased by EPAM and Arrow. Both Epam and Arrow will occupy floors in both parts of the building - A and B, and such one floor has about 3,800 sqm of space.
It is Olivia Prime that houses one of the most attractive and largest offices in Pomerania and Olivia Business Center - the Sii office. It has 5 floors, each 2,000 sqm (a hectare of offices in total), connected by slides and internal staircases, with its own terrace next to a huge dining room, with numerous private loggias, a gym and a climbing wall on 2 floors.
The office won an award in the Office Superstar competition organized by CBRE for the best recreational space in Poland and an award for the best office in the Tri-City. Sia's interior design was also designed by Design Anatomy, a team of Olivia Business Centre architects.
