Industrial & Commercial Buildings
The Polish town of Tomaszów Mazowiecki is steeped in the long tradition of the textile industry. Although this industry no longer plays a significant role, traces of it remain in the form of old brick industrial buildings. The new "Galeria Tomaszów" shopping center in the town center also stands on the foundations of an old textile factory. The architects' challenge was to capture the characteristic style of the brickwork in order to blend in with the surrounding area. Particular attention was paid to the color of the historic walls, and appropriate decorative brickwork was designed. Today, the building looks as if it had stood on this very spot in the 20th century.
The Galeria Tomaszów was designed by the Krakow-based architectural firm MOFO Architekci. Approximately 3,375 m² of Feldhausthin brick s R767NF14, combined with 6,037 W767NF14 corner slips and 7,800 U767NF solid bricks, have created a new building with a traditional brick look that blends perfectly into the overall landscape – certainly one reason why the Galeria Tomaszów won the competition of the Polish Association of Engineers and Construction Technicians and was awarded "Building of the Year 2016".
