A New Gem on the Ljubljana Skyline

The recently opened Crystal Palace (Kristalna palača) is a new business centre with conference facilities and a shopping arcade, providing an attractive space for both work and relaxed socialising.

With its 89 metres of height, it is now the tallest building in Slovenia and a city landmark that sets an array of new engineering standards. With its first-class technological and ecological materials, its own solar power plant, modern sophisticated architecture with a shimmering glass facade and an elegant and comfortable interior design, it creates a unique new type of public space in the city. The entire investment by the BTC d.d. company was worth 57.5 million Euro.

Due to its own innovative Ecoindex business model, aimed at the environmental monitoring and assessment, BTC d.d. was recently named the »Environmentally friendly company 2010«, awarded by the Finance newspaper and the Slovenian Eco Foundation (Ekosklad) This entitles the company to apply in 2012, on behalf of Slovenia, for the European Business Awards for the Environment, conferred by the European Commission, Directorate-General for the Environment.

The Crystal Palace is also intended for meetings and events. Its multi-purpose hall for up to 200 people theatre-style, dividable into two individual sections, offers daylight and state-of-the-art conference technology, including wireless Internet, three simultaneous interpretation booths and system, large-screen monitors and event recording. On the second floor a large park-like open air platform – the Green Terrace, can function as an event space. A gourmet restaurant on the spot and the top-floor cafe provide a versatile gastronomic experience for event catering.

The design of the Crystal Palace complex aims to create a functional and aesthetic environment for business as well as for pleasure, and strives to meet the highest expectations and requirements of its users regarding architecture, environmental standards and residential comfort.

The Crystal Palace is located in the BTC shopping area, one of the largest business, shopping, recreational, entertainment and cultural centres in Europe, which attracts over 21 million visitors yearly. By mid 2012, a four star hotel with approx. 230 rooms is due to open there, adding another important element to its offer.
