Thinnest buildingin Warsaw
The plot18th century — 2018

Why is this building so narrow?

The streets here were laid out in the 18th century, on the orders of Stanisław August Poniatowski. His Stanisław Axis was meant to connect Warsaw with the royal residence at Ujazdów, and it followed the French model of radiating squares. The squares are still here: Na Rozdrożu, Zbawiciela, Unii Lubelskiej, and Politechniki, where the metro stops. So are the sharp angles between the streets that run into them. Piękna and Koszykowa meet at one of those.

  1. 18th c.

    The Stanisław Axis

    The streets run out from the squares like spokes. Where two of them meet, the plot left over is a triangle. It gets built out to the very edge, so the corner comes out thin.

  2. 1876

    The shape that stayed

    The plot is given the outline it still has. It settles the proportions of anything that will ever stand on it.

  3. before 1900

    A tenement with a lantern

    A four-storey house is built on the triangular plot. Its converging façades form a narrow corner, crowned by a round lantern.

  4. 2017—2018

    A new corner

    Warsaw's heritage conservator approves a form that steps out over the pavement from the second floor up. The overhang runs along both streets and grows with every level. That is how the upper floors hold more square metres than the plot beneath them.

A private office at The Nest — two leaning turquoise marble columns, desks with a cork screen and chairs with purple seats. Glazing on two sides, with the roofs and façades of the neighbouring tenements beyond.

The view from inside

Three glazed segments

panes slightly offset — the reflections shift with every step

Private office · Piękna 49The Nest
The façade

The mass splits in two. A closed core carries the stairs and the lifts. The rest is glass, stepped out over the pavement and cut into three segments.

The panes are set slightly out of line with one another. Walking past, you catch the neighbouring tenements and Hala Koszyki reflected in them — at a different angle with every step. A pre-war tenement once filled this plot completely. Today the same corner is closed in glass.

The history of the plot is drawn from the project description published by Grupa 5 Architekci

Hence

The narrowest building in Warsaw.

Chronology2017 — 2025

Eight years of building a place companies come back to.

The Nest officially launched in autumn 2018, but the project's story began a year earlier, on the initiative of Equinox Capital Partners. It was born from a simple observation: Warsaw was missing a boutique office building that combined a prestigious address, designer architecture and real work comfort.

  1. 2017

    The concept is born

    The Nest is initiated by Equinox Capital Partners. Architects at Grupa 5 design the distinctive, fully glazed form. Interiors are created by Beza Projekt.

  2. 2018

    Official opening

    On 26 October we open The Nest at the corner of Piękna 49 and Koszykowa, across from Hala Koszyki. The slender, boutique architecture catches the attention of the whole city.

  3. 2020

    Coworking and awards

    We launch the coworking space at The Nest. The building is featured on Wallpaper magazine's list of the world's best designed office spaces.

  4. 2022

    All eight floors

    We finish fitting out every storey. Each floor gets designer interiors and its own meeting rooms inside the space that is leased.

  5. 2024

    500+ companies

    We pass half a thousand clients and welcome our first international teams.

  6. 2025

    Dedicated offices

    We close the coworking chapter. Two formats are left: the virtual office, if an address is all a company needs, and a private office, if the team needs the square metres.

Designed by Grupa 5. Written up by Wallpaper*.

Grupa 5 Architekci designed the thinnest building in Warsaw: a fully glazed, slender form. Wallpaper Magazine later put it on its list of the world's best designed offices.

Architectural distinction

Warsaw's thinnest building

The narrow, slender form of The Nest is an architectural curiosity of the city. The glazed façade lets daylight into every floor, and the slim shape gives the building a character no typical class-A office can reach.

Each of the eight floors was planned on its own, for daylight, acoustics and ergonomics.
