IRIDE Business Park, buildings 18 and 19

The IRIDE Business Park is the first business park in Bucharest and one of the largest. It is the perfect office location, situated just 8km from Otopeni International Airport and with excellent public transport links. PORR was responsible for the refurbishment and fit-out of buildings 18 and 19.

Building IRIDE 18. The gross floor area of IRIDE 18 is 18,886m². The basement houses plant rooms and car parks, some of which are also located on the ground floor next to the main entrance area. Floors 1 and 2 are designed to accommodate open-plan offices. This required extensive renovation and remodelling work on all three floors: from the demolition of the existing interior staircase and the installation of a curtain wall facade on the ground floor and first floor for the new main entrance area to the removal and reinstallation of the existing joinery work and the installation of sandwich panels on the north and east facades and facing the inner courtyards. Inside the building, the floors, walls and ceilings are completely remodelled to accommodate the proposed open-plan system, the doors are replaced, and the floors fitted with glass and drywall partitions.

In order to fulfil the statutory fire protection requirements, all columns and struts in the building and the beams in the stairwell area are protected with intumescent material/jetcrete. The terrace is also completely refurbished, and the outdoor spaces are remodelled with grassy areas, stone paving, totems, street furniture and similar features.

Building IRIDE 19. The floors of IRIDE 19, which cover a total area of 22,657m², are also used in a variety of ways. The basement houses plant rooms and car parking spaces. The main access is via the ground floor, which also features small production facilities and commercial units. Floors 1 to 3 are available for production facilities and offices.

The modernisation and fit-out measures are similar to those for IRIDE 18. In addition, a new entrance area was created by adding concrete infrastructure and a fire-protected metal structure to the ground floor level. PORR was also responsible for the interior fit-out for two tenants in this building.
