If your life seems hectic and out of control, why not find your place where you can go to unwind, read, and take sanctuary from outside intrusions?
A place that is closer to nature always makes our mind and body feel healthy and peaceful. An abode away from the city where you can just unwind and relax is a perfect weekend getaway that can fuel you up for the next week.
If you just like to sit back and dream or contemplate, your private abode should inspire you to do that. Extraordinary thoughts are often encouraged by private, undisturbed time away from the flurry of ordinary day-to-day exercises.
The house with courtyards was built in the densely settled suburbs of Poznań. A relatively small plot of approx. 1,700 m² has been fully used in terms of its urban planning parameters.
Since the house is designed for an elderly couple, it has all of its main functions on the ground floor, while the first floor is intended for the visiting family members. The dense neighbourhood and busy street prompted us to design a house with 2 courtyards that will give the residents privacy and quiet. The first courtyard is the front courtyard formed by a large pergola with vertical openwork elements hiding the house from the street. 11 m long beams are an additional partition between the house and the street space. Meanwhile, the other courtyard is a relaxation area next to the living room and indoor pool. It provides shelter from the neighbouring properties. Each courtyard has greenery similar to Japanese gardens.
The brief was to design a house for a father son duo, who had recently lost the lady of the house.
CONCEPT
The idea was to design a house that brings its occupants in close contact with elements of nature in order to lend a strong spiritual character. The overall concept was devised as the free plan with interconnecting volumes, that emphasize the sense of nothingness overlooking the courtyard & a blank stone wall painted in light. Spaces like courtyard & verandah were reinterpreted to suit the urban context.
The FLAMINGO house was designed on a plot of land located near the historic centre of Żory- Silesian town in central Poland. On the eastern side, it borders on local street on the other side on city’s recreational and park areas.
The plot has a unique shape of terrain. It’s highest part runs along the southern border of the plot and significantly descends to the north along the road and to the north-west, creating a depression there. The difference in height across the plot is approx. 5 m.
To design a house for a single old lady & her tenants for ensuring security.
CONCEPT

Multifamily residential project Braniborska 44 is a closed quarter building with an internal patio covered with greenery. The neat tectonic is created through the deliberate use of voids and by distinguishing the external and internal façades by withdrawing peripheral loggias and protruding balconies towards the patio. The use of appropriately selected materials, with distinctive 3D cassettes made of gold-colored sheet metal in the entrance portal, allowed for a noble and elegant appearance.

Cavanilles in his work “Observations on the natural history, geography, agriculture, population and fruits of the kingdom of Valencia”, quotes La Pobla de Farnals as a “llogaret que creix de dia en dia”, in Spanish “a little place that grows day by day”, and describes it as an example of a village in the Valencian Horta dedicated to agriculture.

The original commercialized house type is not satisfying to the young couple’s eyes, not only the lifestyle cannot be implanted, but also the spatial atmosphere is far below expectations.
We hope to virtualize the interface of certain spaces, but of course, they can still become solid when needed; in the open mode, the walls of various spaces are interspersed with each other, either solid or virtual, just like the line paintings of the Tang Dynasty (Lu Xun, “Letters to Li Hua”)

This residential complex includes two twin buildings, realized in different phases. The construction of the first building, Madroños 27, in the Parque Conde de Orgaz area, required the previous processing of a planning figure, a detailed study, as well as the formal and functional adaptation of the building to its surroundings.
The convergence of orientation and views at noon on the front access of the plot, the existence to the north of a degraded urban environment and the adjoining buildings of a certain entity in both side boundaries, led us to positioning the façades rotated 45º with respect to the orthogonal limits of the plot.
