The media enthusiastically presents the new Leopoldov City Hall as a reference example of what exemplary cooperation between the city and the architect and construction contractor should look like. The combination of the new building of the city hall with the sensitive reconstruction of the former city hall into a library created a new landmark of the city.
Leopoldov City Hall became a star in the Slovak architectural sky. In the past period, it collected not only prestigious professional awards, but also recognition from those for whom the object is intended - from the citizens of the city.
The architects decided not to demolish the historic office building - they placed a library in it and at the same time designed a new town hall that creates a cultivated public space with the original one. The latter is conceived as a two-storey cube with a legible reduction of mass.
“We saw it as an interesting challenge. Because there was a chance to comment on how public administration buildings in Slovakia should look.“
