Kosmalt
Kosmalt is an iconic hostel on Košice's Terasa, which was established in the 1960s as the largest workers' hostel of the local VSŽ ironworks. Its thirteen-story mass is still defined by a distinctive facade with a geometric grid of prefabricated concrete modules and the signature of architects Ladislav Greč and Róbert Kandrík. In 2023–2025, the building underwent a comprehensive and sustainable renovation under our leadership, during which we sensitively uncovered the original materials: marble, terrazzo, travertine, concrete and steel and supplemented them with new layers. The old and the new remain clearly legible here, but in an architecturally balanced dialogue.
