Construction of our first A1 residential building in the Rakyta project in Devínska Nová Ves is successfully advancing and approaching completion of its structural frame. This unique community living concept with a family-oriented design will deliver six low-rise residential buildings in its first phase, comprising a total of 322 housing units. By the end of 2025, we will also open the first model apartments showcasing the standard features and furnishing options. The plan is for the first residents to move into Rakyta in 2026.
The construction of the A1 building has so far used 4,471 cubic meters of concrete and 505 tonnes of reinforced steel, which is almost twice the volume of an Olympic swimming pool.
“We have made significant progress since construction began in June 2024,” said Matej Privrel, project manager from Lucron. “We have also started preparatory work on the A2 residential building, where the foundations are complete, and we will begin vertical construction in spring 2025.”
“During 2025, we plan to complete the roads and utility networks. We will continue with the installation of façades and windows on the A1 building and proceed with interior work. By the end of the year, we will open model apartments where future residents can see the standard features and furnishing options,” added M. Privrel.
Rakyta – a Masterplan from a Renowned Spanish Architecture Studio
The masterplan for Rakyta was created by architects and urban planners from the award-winning Spanish studio Arenas Basabe Palacios in collaboration with Bratislava-based architectural firm MoroczTacovsky and Austrian landscape architects Yewo. Their design won an international competition against teams from 9 European countries. The centre of the Rakyta district will feature two interconnected squares with shops, a supermarket, cafés, a school, and sports facilities.
The project focuses on ecological solutions—all residential buildings will have green roofs combined with photovoltaic panels for eco-friendly water heating. The buildings do not use gas as a heat source, bringing a substantial reduction in emissions. Apartments are equipped with electric underfloor heating with temperature control in each room and triple-glazed plastic windows.
