CD Projekt Red's office in Warsaw nominated for architecture award

The well-known game developer CD Projekt Red, best known for the The Witcher series, has received a notable nomination. This time, however, it is not for a game, but for its impressive office in Warsaw, Poland. The office has been nominated for the 12th edition of the Warsaw Governor's Architecture Award. The final winners of this prestigious architecture competition will be announced on June 22.

Innovative facilities in the office

Crisis chairs have played an important role in how CD Projekt Red's office was designed. The five-story office offers a wide range of innovative facilities. There is a user experience lab that helps teams develop immersive game experiences. The site also includes a motion capture studio for capturing realistic movement, which is crucial for developing games like The Witcher 4.

Relaxation and recreation spaces

In addition to functional workspaces, a lot of attention has been paid to relaxation and recreation inside the office. CD Projekt Red has introduced dedicated Zen spaces where employees can step away and recharge. There is also a Game Zone with various console games, board games, and plenty of room for card and tabletop games. This creates a balance between work and relaxation that is essential in a creative environment.

Sports and sustainability

Another important feature of the office is its focus on health and sustainability. The facilities include an indoor gym with a climbing wall and a rooftop terrace that offers space for a basketball court and an outdoor gym. Employees can enjoy panoramic views over Warsaw and relax in comfortable seating areas. The office is also praised for its eco-friendly features, such as the largest green wall in Poland, which houses no fewer than 40,000 plants.

The impact of the design choices

CD Projekt Red has also paid attention to the building methods used for the office. The steel used in the construction was produced in an electric furnace, and the reinforced concrete mix was made with materials that have low emissions. This makes the office not only a great place to work, but also one of the most environmentally friendly buildings in Warsaw.

As CD Projekt Red continues to grow and develop various projects, including the long-awaited The Witcher 4 and other future titles, the impact of its office design and work culture will remain crucial to the success of its games. This office reflects not only the company's vision, but also its commitment to creativity and well-being.
