    PRESENTATION

    The latest 3 office buildings projected by Westfourth Architecture:
    UniCredit HQ Bucharest,
    EON Gas HQ Tg. Mures and Str. Gara Herastrau,
    No. 4B Building

    UNICREDIT HEADQUARTERS is an office building with a special shape, containing 16 office floors over a Ground Floor accommodating a bank branch, and a 2 basement infrastructure dedicated to the car parking and mechanical destinations.

    E.ON HEADQUARTERS was completed in Tg.Mures by the end of 2015. The building, with Ground Floor and the 8 office floors, was considered by the Urbanism Committee of the City too aggressive for the neighborhood, and the recommendation was to divide the volume into smaller parts of different textures. As a consequence, the architectural vocabulary is more diverse than in other situations.

    GLOBALWORTH OFFICE BUILDING, under construction on a site located at 4B Gara Herastrau St, is a small, simple construction, with the floors partially suspended because of the presence of the subway under those floors. The facades are extremely simple, with two types of glass on a classic FW50 system.
