The winner of the international Eurovea City Concept Design Competition, envisioning two dynamic towers for Bratislava’s skyline has been announced. Designs show that two slender, multi-tiered high-rises—standing at 260 meters and 184 meters—featuring over 1,000 housing units. Integrated design characteristics of the buildings include stepped crowns, panoramic corner windows, and a warm metallic façade that subtly reflects light and changes appearance on different days of sun or cloudiness.

The high-rises will harmonize with the Eurovea Tower (168 meters), forming a cohesive, fine-grained cluster in line with Bratislava’s Urban Study of Height Zoning. Anchored by glass pavilions offering amenities and green spaces inspired by the Danube's flowing forms, the project merges architecture and nature, enhancing the city’s aesthetic and sustainability. The design firm that won, KCAP, partnered with engineers Buro Happold to implement innovative construction systems that reduce carbon emissions, setting new standards for high-rise urban living.

The designs impressed the competition jury with its sustainable and aesthetic approach. Acting as city landmarks, the buildings will continue to boost Bratislava’s global architectural profile and encourage further investment and tourism. The Eurovea City project also includes 7,300 square meters of green space and additional high-rises, enhancing residential options in a well-connected urban hub.
