The project of Millennium Tower III office building is a continuation of the study with underway development of the documentation for zoning decision from 2002 – 2004. Following the change of ownership relations to the Polus centre the new owner has revived the idea of further construction in the complex, and has modified the specification of relevant tasks. The main function of the object is to provide office rooms of international standard (Class A), supplemented by additional rental rooms.
The high-rise part is formed by intersection of two smooth glass rectangles, each representing a different – vertical and horizontal – composition principle of frontage panels texture. The two principles are expressed by a play of decently differentiated coloured glass strips with various reflection. Both rectangles are mutually coupled by a "Z", running from the main entrance marquise above the roof terrace up to the adapted entrance to the shopping gallery passage. Thus, the object has two marquises – one above the foreground, the other above the roof, and both with the aim to emphasize the building's identity on "hidden back address" of Polus to be well recognisable from far views and from the drive-in Junácka street along Kuchajda lake. The main lobby of the building confirms this double orientation, and interconnects the main entrance with Polus shopping passage.
