Varso Place is the inner-city high-rise and skyscraper ensemble in the lively Chmielna Street in the centre of Warsaw, which underlines its charismatic luminosity with 4,000 m² of green spaces and provides added value for people at all levels. Varso Place consists of the three connected and diversely greened building sections Varso I, Varso II and Varso Tower, the ground floor level of which is open to the public. Here, beautiful green spaces enchant the outdoor area above the underground car parks and trees even grow in the lobby of the Varso Tower. A green world has been created inside, outside and on top of the building roofs using ZinCo roof greening systems – including a skyscraper garden at a height of 205 metres.

  • Roof garden with flowering perennials
    The robust planting is adapted to the altitude and thrives on the ZinCo system build-up with Floradrain®.
  • Roof garden with a bench and small trees
    The benches adorned with wood invite to linger and enjoy the view.
  • Trees within a lobby
    The 9 metre high olive trees in the lobby of the Varso Tower thrive on the system build-up with Floradrain® FD 40-E.
  • Roof garden with dwarf pines and small trees
    The dwarf pines look like cushions under the trees.
  • Roof garden with trees
    Due to its pressure resistance, the system build-up with Floradrain® FD 40 is just as suitable for walkways.
