The way of the developer, or “creative”, and in fact often scandalous approach to the construction of residential complexes, is becoming a curse in Poland.
Patodeweloperka works great in Poland. Developers compete to come up with new solutions to build as much as possible in a small area. Tomasz Boreiza is a science journalist and blogger at the same time, who describes Krakow examples of extraordinary developer creativity. Team Notes! showed some investments.
- Here is an example where even a neighbor does not have to throw anything, but simply go out onto the balcony and reach out and take, for example, salt. Therefore, this block is called integrative - indicates Boreyza (Krowoderska.pl). And he adds: - This is an example of creativity in Excel, squeezing out useful and living space. I think that someone could get a solid bonus for such a successful use of the plot.
- The Pato-developer is the result of a pathological law, which means that entrepreneurs, they are developers, can legally build low-quality apartments that have nothing to do with the environment, do not meet even the minimum requirements, because we are rejecting the law from further restrictions on a regular basis for many years, which prevented developers from building such housing - says the architect Pavel Mrozek and the author of the Sto Lat Planning profile.
In the meantime, Tomas Boreiza took us to another place.
- We are located next to a residential complex that may look like a fortress, but in fact it is not a fortress. It was built according to the plan of an ideal prison designed by Jeremy Bentham in the 19th century. the blogger laughs and adds: - It consisted in the fact that there was a watchtower inside, in which there were guards, and around there were cells for prisoners. At that time, no prisoner could be sure that the guard was looking at him. Bentham believed that if a prisoner did not know if a guard was watching him, he would behave well.
We asked the developer where the idea of such a building came from. We haven’t received any response. How does it live there?
- I call it Alcatraz because it has a similar shape. The interior buildings are too close in my opinion. This is a space saver to earn as much as possible. Who issued the building permit? - wonders one of the residents.
Hong Kong in Warsaw
In the meantime, we moved to the capital, to a place commonly known as Hong Kong.
- Of course, we are talking about profit. The more meters we sell on the smallest plot, the greater the profit will be - says architect Pavel Perdich. And he adds: - Developers do it because they can, and secondly - there is a demand. Why they can is a longer story. This is the result of rules, planning and, in fact, their absence.The developer replied that he built such houses in accordance with the local territorial plan, and the high 27-story building protects the lower residential buildings in the depths of the estate from noise.
