The SiloCenter building, created in a post-industrial area built by silos, was designed by in response to the growing needs of the population of western districts of Poznan and Skorzewo. These needs are free time services related to relaxation and active recreation.

The central layout of SiloCenter is based on an open atrium, where the internal people movement lines are intersecting. A large central skylight allows natural light to fill the public space and extensive openings in the facade connect people to surroundings. The building levels are based on equilateral triangle with rounded corners. The facade is formed from merged concrete panels, prefabricated in five colors and illuminated by led lights.
