The Pier House is perched on a hillside overlooking the Potomac River in southern Maryland. The 130 foot long house is conceived as a pier with seamless transitions between interior and exterior living areas. Elongated decks and walkways offer a variety of panoramic and framed views of the water and landscape beyond. From the street side the house presents itself as a solid volume in contrast to the transparent double height living space facing the river. The recessed lower level and the exposed steel frames over the deck, allow the house to appear to float over the landscape.
The project included interior design of a 100 year old house after its expansion and modernization. In addition, it required designing a fireplace and a staircase connecting the three levels. Most of the furniture (dining table, bureau, coffee table, sideboard, kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets) were designed and built by Loft Szczecin. Furniture were made of oak and were later oiled. Kitchen furniture were created from laminated plywood and the countertop is made of black granite. Vintage items were bought in auctions and have been restored by Loft Szczecin. These include the chairs designed by Niels Moller of danish production, the armchair of czech production from the 60s designed by Magda Sepova and small medical furniture from the early 20th century.

The walls are covered with a traditional plaster while decorative finishes were painted by hand. Wooden joinery and parquet floors have undergone a renovation, which was performed by craftsmen specializing in restoration of monuments. The flat was equipped with furniture designed and made by Loft Kolasiński: table, bed, mirrors, kitchen and bathroom furniture. Designed and made for the project was also a steel wardrobe development and steel ventilation grilles and curtain rods. In addition, in the project, there were used unique furniture, lighting and carpets by designers such as Maria Chomentowska, Antonin Kybal, Eero Saarinen, Kai Kristiansen, Franz Hohn, Władysław Wołkowski, Nelson Bench and Roger Lecal. A unique detail of the apartment’s furnishings are armchairs from the factory in Zadziel the 1950s, which have undergone specialized refurbishment. The photographs of Maria Svarbovej were used to decorate the walls. The Warsaw Filtry project inaugurates the launch of the Warsaw branch of the Loft Kolasiński interior design studio.
