At the beginning of 2019, in the center of the Polish city Łodz, opposite to one of the city’s biggest buildings – the neo-baroque Izrael Poznański’s palace, a new four-star hotel was inaugurated under the Puro brand. The hotel has 136 rooms, a restaurant, a bar on the roof-garden with a view to the city, conference rooms and even a cinema called “Cinema Paradiso”. The interior was designed by the London based firm Superfutures. The impressive interior design follows the artistic and cinematic tradition of the city and the strategy and tradition of Puro’s parent company Genfer.
In a project that strategically wants to focus on design and functionality, Alufire products were a perfect fit.
The Solution
The frameless fire-resistant system, Alufire Vision Line (AVL) was chosen to complete the sophisticated and modern interior of Puro hotel in Łodz. The AVL system was used among others to complete the obstacle-free views from the corridors, staircase and some rooms to the internal atrium. Mounted on the edge of the ceiling without handrails due to the incredible 1000N/m of force sustained, AVL gives the possibility of creating wide, undisturbed view lines optically enlarging the space and allowing natural and artificial light to reach more spaces. This solution’s primary function though is restricting and resisting fire, up to 60 minutes. And AVL ensures in this project too, the safety of people in a fire emergency.
