The building is located in the very centre of Wrocław in 18-22 H. Sienkiewicza, in an area once occupied by Zakłady Piekarsko-Ciastkarskie (Bakery and Pastry Plant) „Mamut”.
The project covers renovation and adaptation of two remaining buildings of the former bakery, which are under protection of the historic preservation officer: the former Flour Warehouse (Magazyn Mąki) on the side of H. Sienkiewicza street and the former Bakery (Piekarnia) inside the plot together with the link between the buildings. The historic buildings, which are a part of the student hostel, are complemented with a set of newly designed wings, forming a building development of the entire city quarter: the student hostel on the south-eastern and northern sides, and the hotel on the western side.

The “From The Garden House” design was an unusual experience for us. The owner had already had a design of the garden, which was well under way. All that was missing was a house. At the time, it seemed like a ridiculous reversal.
Designing building at small corner plot in the vicinity of the existing housing development was a real challenge for us. In the context of business, its great advantage are good exposure to the surroundings and close proximity to a very popular leisure resort, which is located at Lake Paprocany in Tychy.
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 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.
The reconstructed building is located in a part of the city that until recently served as an industrial district. In its immediate vicinity, there is the main water treatment plant for the agglomeration, as well as smaller and larger production and commercial facilities. Over the past two decades, this landscape started to change considerably. It has slowly transformed into a mixed-use development. Many residential buildings and other facilities have appeared. Our main assumption, however, was to emphasize the original history of the place and create a building-monument to the industrial past of the district. This plan perfectly matched the ideas of the investor who implements robotic car assembly lines in Europe.
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.
Project shortlisted in Life Challange 2022 competition final.

Before we met, the nature lover had turned a complete fallow land into a beautiful green oasis with a lake and a flowing road to where the house would be located. And those curves, which he liked to navigate, inspired us.
At BXB studio, we design buildings that are both modern and routed in tradition. This combination allows us to create interesting design shapes like ”The Farmhouse”, where instead of five farm buildings due for demolition, we proposed five interconnected barns to create a highly dynamic space. Although this development is a completed piece of work, it takes into account the possibility of future development, which could include the creative reconstruction of the historical house due for demolition in accordance with the client’s wishes.
