Pinktober 2024! Take care of yourself. Take care of your health.

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

For years, October has been recognized worldwide as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. At this special time, Olivia also takes up topics related to breast cancer prevention.

 

Remember to self-examine your breasts

 

We encourage you, as every year, Dear Ladies, to self-examine your breasts. See how to properly perform the test. And remember that regular examination allows you to detect cancerous changes at an early stage and, consequently, apply effective treatment. The educational film was prepared by the Pink Butterfly Association, a non-profit organization supporting patients treated at the Breast Disease Center of the University Clinical Center in Gdańsk. It was established in November 2019 by the medical staff, patients and friends of the Center. The Association’s mission is to help people suffering from cancer, including breast diseases, at all stages of the disease (from diagnosis, through treatment and convalescence).

Remember about breast ultrasound

 

Breast ultrasound should be a permanent part of every woman’s calendar of preventive examinations. It is assumed that women over 30 should undergo a prophylactic breast ultrasound at least once every two years, and preferably once a year. In women from risk groups (with a family history of breast cancer, diagnosed with genetic mutations that increase the risk of developing the disease, with previous precancerous lesions), it is recommended to undergo more frequent examinations – two or three times a year.

 

Mammogram

 

Mammography is one of the preventive tests performed as part of breast cancer prevention as a screening test. It makes it possible to detect even very small cancerous lesions long before they become palpable. It is recommended for women over 40 years of age. It should be performed regularly, every 2 years, or as directed by your doctor.

 

Do you know about the breast cancer prevention program: mammography?

 

The programme is aimed at women aged 45-74. You can do a mammography test in stationary clinics or in a mobile vehicle that travels to the most remote corners of Polish.

 

Check where to have a mammogram in person (go to “Prevention programs” and select “Breast cancer prevention” from the list).

 

Check when the mobile vehicle will arrive in your town.

 

About mammography.

 

See: NFZ Academy | Practical calendar of preventive examinations

 

What do you know about biopsy?

 

Breast biopsy (fine-needle/core needle) is an examination that allows for precise breast diagnosis. Thanks to the ultrasound examination, the doctor locates the lesion and inserts a needle into it through the skin, which he uses to take a section of tissue from the center of the tumor, needed for further examination. The biopsy is not painful – it is performed under local anaesthesia and the woman does not require hospitalisation afterwards. More about the study…

 

Vacuum assisted core needle biopsy (VAB) is performed on an outpatient basis, i.e. in the treatment room, and no stay in the hospital operating room is necessary. The device consists of a disposable biopsy needle and a device that controls the biopsy process (vacuum assists). A needle is actually a complex disposable device that consists of a rotating blade connected to a container for histopathological material. More on this topic…

 

Medical facilities

 

Breast Disease Clinic of the University Clinical Center

 

The Breast Disease Clinic is intended for patients who have detected a change in their breasts and need advice or have previously been diagnosed with a benign change in the breast that requires regular check-ups. The clinic also accepts healthy patients who want to check their breasts and patients who believe that they may be genetically predisposed to breast cancer. During the first visit, the doctor conducts a detailed interview and then carefully examines the breasts and armpits.

Centre for Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Diseases at the Polish Red Cross Maritime Hospital in Gdynia (Gdynia Oncology Centre)

 

The center is accredited by the Breast Cancer Unit issued by SIS (Senologic International Society). Patients who come under the care of the center are covered by comprehensive and quick diagnostics and coordinated treatment. This means that they are helped in one place by experienced doctors: oncological surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, radiotherapists, pathologists, nurses and technicians. During therapy, you can also use the help of physiotherapists and psychological care. Thanks to this, patients do not have to look for help in several different places. In addition, the treatment is supervised by a coordinator. He or she acts as a guide for the sick person, guiding them through the various stages of therapy. Treatment is tailored to the requirements of the individual patient.

Did you know?

 

  • Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide (25%) and the leading cause of death (14%), and breast cancer patients account for 36% of women living with cancer. It is estimated that nearly 1.7 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and more than 500,000 die from it. It is a heterogeneous disease in which we distinguish different subtypes.
  • The highest incidence of breast cancer is recorded in industrialized countries (Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain). The lowest incidence is in countries in Africa and Southeast Asia. Geographic region is a factor that significantly modifies the risk of breast cancer.
  • In Poland, breast cancer has become one of the biggest threats to premature mortality of women in the last century. Breast cancer also occurs in men, although very rarely. It is estimated that one in the number of cases of breast cancer is breast cancer in men.
  • The risk factors for the development of the disease are complex, but the key factors seem to be those related to the hormonal status of the woman (reproductive factors, age of puberty and menopause, use of hormonal preparations). The incidence of breast cancer increases with age. Cancer is rare among women under 45 years of age, and the majority of cases occur in women over 50 years of age (80% of patients in Poland).
  • A factor that significantly increases the risk of developing breast cancer is the presence of a mutation in the BRCA1 gene or the BRCA2 gene. It is estimated that 4-8% of breast cancers may be the result of inherited mutations, the remaining cases are the result of sporadic mutations in somatic cells.
  • Diagnosis and early detection (secondary prophylaxis) based on regular mammography examinations (screening) are of decisive importance in the context of prevention and prevention of the development of advanced breast cancer.

Olivia Home is implementing a new, prestigious investment in Sopot

Posted on by Asia Lewicka

The investor Olivia Home, associated with Olivia Centre, has started the construction and pre-sale of an intimate apartment investment in Sopot. Leśna Sopot is a premium segment apartment, forming a complex of two villa buildings, located in a quiet part of the resort.

 

Leśna offers exclusive apartments located in a picturesque, green part of Sopot, a 15-minute walk from the beach.
The excellent location of the investment guarantees future residents a wide range of opportunities for active recreation – both in the Tri-City Landscape Park and by the sea.
The excellent communication of the apartments allows efficient access to the attractions of the entire Tri-City.
Surrounded by magnificent greenery, the buildings of Leśna Sopot will be built in a secluded location, offering residents the cozy atmosphere of a residential district.
Easy and quick access to Aleja Niepodległości, the main artery of the resort, provides simple and fast communication with the city center, Gdynia and Gdańsk.

 

Only 18 apartments are planned as part of the investment, located in two four-storey buildings.
The offer includes spacious, four-room apartments with an area of up to 107 m² and two- and three-room apartments, which can be combined into larger, five-room apartments.
The interiors have extensive glazing, allowing a large amount of natural light to pass through.
A carefully thought-out layout of the rooms guarantees optimal living comfort.
In addition, each apartment will be equipped with a spacious garden or balcony with a picturesque view of the rich greenery of the Tri-City Landscape Park.
Some of the apartments on the top floor will also provide views of the Bay of Gdańsk.

 

The architecture of the Leśna Sopot buildings, designed with the use of noble materials, harmoniously combines aesthetics, functionality and comfort. – emphasizes Marcin Karczewski, architect from the K&M Design studio responsible for the design of the buildings. It is a place where residents will be able to enjoy the beauty of nature and the elegance of Sopot architecture in a modern edition.
Sopot Leśna is a project that intertwines modernity and tradition through the use of elements such as mansard roofs or glazed bay windows with views of the greenery of Sopot’s forests and the villa surroundings.

 

 

Spacious, living rooms combined with kitchenettes can reach an area of up to 42 m², and panoramic glazing will ensure a harmonious relationship with nature.
The investment is being built with full respect for the surrounding old trees, which will allow residents to enjoy the closeness of nature from the very first moments.
The apartments will be distinguished by corner, mullionless windows with stepped glass, which will further emphasize the unique atmosphere of the interiors.
All balconies will be equipped with glazed balustrades, and in the autumn and spring period, extended use of some of them will be made possible by glass construction systems, creating winter gardens with an area of up to 13 m².

 

The garden designs belonging to the apartments located on the ground floor are characterized by above-standard areas from 108 to over 172 m².
The green patio, which will be located between the buildings, will be enriched by dense plantings of shrubs and trees, as well as original elements of small architecture.
The whole will be complemented by artistic details – mirrors, sculptures and water elements, which will create a unique common space, reminiscent of an enchanted garden.

 

Mirrored panes at the water basin will optically increase the volume of greenery, introducing a visual illusion, and thus creating a truly magical cornerof the park.
– says Małgorzata Sobótka, architect and owner of Studio Krajobraz, responsible for the concept of landscape architecture.

 

 

The architecture of the buildings and the standard of finishing of the common areas are a consistent combination of comfort and subtle elegance.
Ceramic tiles will be used on the roofs.
The façade will feature natural finishing elements – wooden boards of various sizes and grooves, thermally modified, perfectly fitting into the forest surroundings of the Tri-City Landscape Park.

 

Sopot obliges, so when implementing this project, we focused on a harmonious combination of modern architecture with classic elements, while maintaining respect for tradition – says Ewa Nowicka, Sales Director, Member of the Management Board of Olivia Home.
Subtelnie nawiązując do charakterystycznej sopockiej architektury, zastosowaliśmy mansardowe dachy oraz przestronne, panoramiczne przeszklone wykusze, które podkreślają wyjątkowy charakter budynku.
Starannie wyselekcjonowane, szlachetne materiały elewacyjne, wkomponowanie bryły w bujną zieleń, harmonijne połączenie estetyki z funkcjonalnością, a także dbałość o detal, sprawiły, że możemy zaproponować klientom produkt ponadczasowy.

 

Common areas, such as entrance areas, corridors and staircases, will be finished with high-quality natural materials, guaranteeing durability and comfort of use.
Dark brown wood panels, broken with steel accents, designer lighting, lounge areas and artisanal details such as metal railings and wooden handrails create an elegant and modern space.

 

The idea behind the design of the common areas was to refer to the details of the interiors of Sopot tenement houses and to implement them through the means of contemporary design – emphasizes Anna Branicka, lead architect of the Design Anatomy design team, responsible for the interior design of the Leśna Sopot apartments. We have combined the classic with the modern, focusing on detail.
The key motif is a wooden totem in the central part of the staircase, which is a contemporary interpretation of historical forms.
Ceramic accents in the balustrades and handrails subtly blend in with the cladding of the door portals made of glazed tiles.
We decided on hybrid floors with a layer of wood, which are durable, elegant and pleasant to look at.
Delicate slats embedded in wooden cladding and steel finishes of the elevator portals have been designed individually in a unique color and form.
Just like the lighting made of ledonic light hoses, inspired by classic chandeliers.
This project is a story about the search for a relationship with the unique context of the place – adds Anna Branicka.

 

Leśna Sopot is the second residential project of the developer Olivia Home.
The first investment called Platynowa Park, located in the south of Gdańsk, was completed at the end of 2023.
Another investment in Gdańsk will go on sale later this year.
Olivia Home’s projects are carried out by a team of professionals from the residential and commercial market as well as PRS, whose competences and knowledge have also been built during the construction of the most structurally and technologically advanced commercial buildings – Olivia Centre in Gdańsk, the largest business and service centre in Poland.
This is where m.in have their headquarters.
Amazon, Bayer, Deloitte, Nike and PwC.

 

In the space of Olivia Centre there is a year-round Olivia Garden, filled with 4 thousand plants, the highest of which reach several meters in height.
In addition, there are numerous restaurants and service outlets here.
In the tallest building – Olivia Star, on the
On the 32nd floor, there is a floor with an observation deck, from where you can admire the panorama of the entire Tri-City. On The 33rd floor houses two prestigious restaurants: Arco and Treinta y Tres, run by Paco Pérez, one of the most outstanding chefs in the world.
In this year’s Michelin guide, the Arco restaurant won the first star in Pomerania, and Treinta y Tres received the Bib Gourmand distinction.

 

Viterra – the top floor of Olivia Prime welcomed a new tenant

Posted on by Asia Lewicka

Private roof terrace, office in the spirit of re-use and zero waste.
The design for a company from the food industry was prepared by a team of architects Design Anatomy, and its basis is care for environmental responsibility and ecology of the workplace.

 

Viterra is a global market leader in cereals, oilseeds, legumes, sugar, rice, cotton, vegetable oils and biodiesel.
The company operates in 35 countries and operates in the most important global markets.
The company handles 1.5 million tons of goods annually in ports, exports 2 million tons by land, and in Poland it can already boast of ten of its own warehouse locations and elevators, allowing it to store 350,000 tons. tons and its own production of vegetable oils. Viterra has occupied a representative office on the top floor of Olivia’s newest building – Olivia Prime with an area of nearly 1500 m.kw. When designing the office for Viterra, we decided to refer to the industry in which they specialize and use the colors of fields visible from a bird’s eye view, cereals in warm shades of yellow, gold and green grasses, complementing them with accents in cobalt and dark green – Monika Loewnau-Solis, project manager and architect from Design Anatomy, describes the project.
Myśląc o związkach firmy z naturą postawiliśmy także na ekologię i odpowiedzialność środowiskową.
W całym biurze pojawiły się ażurowe panele odgradzające poszczególne strefy oraz panele ścienne.
Wszystkie wykonane zostały z butelek PET, które nie dość, że pochodzą z przetworzonego plastiku, to jeszcze cechują je wysokie parametry dźwiękochłonności i ciekawa estetyka.
Panele z PET wykorzystane zostały także na sufitach w częściach jadalnianych, a w pozostałej części biura stanowią oryginalne elementy dekoracyjne, zarazem przeciwdziałające rozprzestrzenianiu się dźwięków pochodzących ze strefy open space.

 

Viterra’s environmental awareness is manifested not only in the use of recycled finishing materials.
The furniture used in the office is part of the company’s re-use policy.
Viterra decided to reuse desks that had been used for a short period of time in another company.
These are high-class ergonomic electric desks that allow you to change your working position from sitting to standing.
This is especially important for employees of the sales department, who often spend many hours on strenuous, energy-intensive work, as well as in accounting and the legal department.

 

The functional layout of the office is very clearly divided into common areas and work zones.
The heart is the reception area, a place for integration and interaction of the entire company team.
Thanks to the stylistic treatments used, the variety of forms and materials, it welcomes you with exceptional energy from the entrance.
Geometric forms of acoustic panels on the ceilings, wall finishes in natural sepia and cork envelop the space, dampening excessive noise.
Colourful, sunny and bright armchairs, poufs and seats on the walls encourage meetings and conversations.
Their location provides a view of the vast forest of the Tri-City Landscape Park, which allows you to relax during the working day.
In the immediate vicinity of the reception desk, telephone booths and conference rooms have been designed.
All of them have been finished with acoustic cladding, and there are wooden slats on the ceilings.
Their interiors are dominated by saturated colors taken from nature, which are supposed to stimulate energy during meetings taking place in them.

 

Viterra’s employees have two enclosed kitchens at their disposal, in which the transitions from the kitchen areas to the dining areas have been clearly emphasized by the use of different materials in each part of the room.
In the kitchen area, there are vinyl tiles in the color of natural wood on the floor, and geometric patterns in the dining room.
These accents were also reproduced on the ceilings of both parts, emphasizing their different functions.
Both kitchens have been complemented with contrasting accents in accordance with the arrangement concept defined for the entire office.

 

To separate individual zones of the office, we decided to use openwork walls with geometric patterns – says Monika Loewnau-Solis. In this way, we defined the design of the entire office, but also gained an additional function – we ensured the intimacy and coziness of the space, and additionally limited the spread of sounds between the usually noisy, energetic part of the open space and the intimate and quiet work zone for lawyers and accounting.

 

The goal we set was to adapt the office to the current trends – hybrid work, enabling employees to fully return to stationary work in the future – says Monika Loewnau-Solis. At the same time, the client was very keen on the comfort of the staff and the appropriate distribution of teams with different work characteristics.
We decided to divide the office into a part intended for focused work and an active, loud cooperation zone, where there is energy, joint work and cooperation of entire teams of the company.

 

Viterra’s office also includes a terrace with an area of 180 m.kw, which is located on the 15th floor of Olivia Prime. It is the highest terrace with a view not only of the forest surrounding Olivia, but also of the Bay of Gdańsk and the most interesting icons of the Gdańsk landscape – Polsat Arena, shipyard cranes and the silhouette of St. Mary’s Church. This space is still waiting to be developed, but chill out zones, lounge beds and greenery are being prepared, allowing you to rest during the working day.

Poland’s largest business centre with a new ESG report

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

The Sustainable Development Report is a description of the approach and summary of the implemented practices in the field of social relations management, corporate governance and environmental policy in the largest enterprises in the country.
Its publication is related to the transparency of activities, as well as the desire to inspire the business community to raise the standards of conducting business activities.

 

The Tonsa Group, which owns Olivia Centre, has presented its ESG report for the third time.
The document contains an exhaustive catalogue of the group’s activities for the implementation of social, business and environmental goals, understood as sustainable development, respect for the highest standards in the field of ecology, relations with stakeholders and the public and business environment.
The current report is based on an impact materiality survey conducted on more than 250 representatives of Tonsa Group stakeholders.
The study allowed us to verify mutual influences and update the data presented in the report in relation to previous years.

 

Despite the fact that office space constitutes the vast majority of Olivia’s space, the center has been developing its service, educational, health, entertainment, sports and cultural functions for many years.
By providing functions that are important to residents and employees, it strives to have a positive impact on the environment and its coherence with the concept of sustainable, 15-minute cities. Every year, more and more green areas appear in its area and a number of publicly available cultural, educational and entertainment events are carried out.
These events expand the activities of the facilities to include afternoon and evening hours, supporting the development of mix-used functions and implementing functions important for the district and city in which Olivia Centre operates.

 

– Supporting stable, sustainable and inclusive economic growth We have created space for the activities of 100 companies, employing 15 thousand.
people, and another 150 business entities are developing their activities in the O4 Coworking – says Maciej Grabski, Managing Director of the Tonsa Group.
– N your activity has a positive impact on economic growth; not only directly, but also indirectly – by influencing the development of many entities related to us.
In doing so, we primarily support local suppliers.
Many of them are our regular business partners, which is a proof of trust and stability in many projects implemented in Olivia.

Sustainability has been identified as an integral part of the Tonsa Group’s long-term strategy.
Olivia also joined the global community striving to implement the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the largest global initiative bringing together sustainable business – the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).

 

The priorities adopted by Olivia included: implementation of tasks and impact for sustainable economic growth, creation of sustainable cities and communities, striving for climate neutrality, circular economy, protection of water resources and energy saving.
Olivia also supports the development of new technologies and ecology.
A number of solutions have been developed to support the use of zero-emission means of transport for work, such as changing rooms, showers, scooter charging areas and lockers for their storage, covered parking spaces, and the use of Olivia’s amenities is possible thanks to a smartphone application.
Olivia is also involved in global campaigns promoting ecology and sustainable transport, such as the International Earth Day, World Bicycle Day, World Car Free Day and the World Day for the Protection of the Baltic Sea, taking place as part of the World Water Day, announced by the UN.

 

The buildings have also been equipped with systems to increase the level of safety, health care and pollution monitoring.
It was the first in the world to equip air handling units with air ionizers that purify the air in buildings from fungi, viruses and allergens.
Thanks to the solutions used to monitor and analyse actual data on resource consumption and based on the international Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Reporting Standard, the carbon footprint of buildings is analysed.
In addition, all buildings are periodically subjected to detailed, individual analyses of compliance with the Paris Agreement and the global pathway to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
For this purpose, the CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) tool adapted to best practices in the field of sustainable development is used.
Olivia’s activities are also based on the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) and cyclical climate risk analyses, allowing for the implementation of actions adequate to the current situation.

 

– Olivia’s activity is constantly subject to multi-criteria assessment by international organizations, leading to obtaining numerous certifications of facilities.
They confirm the compliance of the group’s operations with the highest standards, and often allow Olivia to be at the top of the rankings, as exemplified by obtaining the maximum rating as the first business center in the world in all analyzed areas of WELL HSR certification and maintaining such a high level of care for health, well-being and safety every year. – notes Konrad Danecki, Deputy Director of Investor Supervision in Olivia.

 

The certification, awarded by the International Well Building Institute in New York, is issued based on criteria created by 600 government officials, scientists, business leaders, medical professionals, architects, designers, construction scientists and real estate specialists, as well as standards in construction.
Its main goal is to verify the user-friendliness of the facilities, care for their well-being based on the latest technological solutions, but also takes into account the so-called
“soft criteria”, such as improving the quality of life and work, promoting healthy practices and initiatives to build an active and cooperative community of residents, supporting diversity and counteracting social exclusion.

 

Caring for the well-being of residents is not only about standards, systems and technical solutions, but also about responding to the needs of the local community and Olivia’s residents.
To this end, surveys are regularly carried out to measure satisfaction and gain inspiration to implement further improvements.
Based on them, Olivia Garden was created – an exotic garden where residents can work, relax and meet during and outside working hours.
The answer to their inquiry was also the opening of a grocery store and numerous events, including concerts, meetings, workshops and integration events.
In the survey, as many as 63% of residents confirmed their participation in the initiatives that are carried out in Olivia.
An important factor integrating the residents are the numerous clubs for developing passions, which offer joint bicycle trips, photography and filming courses, plant care courses, or sports clubs: football, volleyball, running, or the very popular sailing club, which organized as many as 57 cruises in 2023.
The Olivia Choir, which brings together employees of several companies, has a special status, which has not only added splendor to events in the center, but has already released its first album and started commercial concerts in several regions of the country.
In total, the number of all initiatives integrating the Olivia Centre community reached 673 events.

 

Cooperation with the local community is carried out m.in.
through the Oliwa Neighbourhood Budget: a project to co-finance initiatives submitted by the residents of the Tri-City, which are implemented in Oliwa – the district where this largest business centre in Poland is located.
This year, its 5th edition is already being implemented, and each year funding is granted to activities such as renovations of public infrastructure, educational workshops and rehabilitation classes for children, youth and people with mobility limitations or special needs.

 

– By managing a space of 15 thousand.
Every year, we face not only the scale of challenges, but also the need to create new, attractive and original initiatives – emphasizes Bogusław Wieczorek, the representative of the management board of Olivia Centre. – Everything we do, we prepare with a strategy defined by the board.
It is based on the highest international standards, because this is what our residents require of us.
Years of experience show us that this is the only way to meet the expectations of the largest global companies.
We are glad that thanks to this, our activities are also conducive to the development of the entire agglomeration, generating new jobs, tax revenues and a number of social initiatives carried out for the benefit of the Tri-City community by our residents.
Such positive conclusions allow us to think with equal determination about the coming years and the projects we are preparing.
