Just after the practice participation at the Biennale of Architecture Kraków (2015), and with the intention of expand the office in Eastern Europe, an opportunity presents itself. The challenge, to redesign a small flat in the suburbs of the polish capital (Warsaw), this project as the first of the practice outside México.
The attic in the multi-family house in the Old Grunwald district was adapted into the modern and functional flat and work studio. The initial attic space was characterized by various heights of the rooms (some of them very low) and with preserved beautiful wooden ceiling and floor. The places with low ceiling were converted into a bedroom area, these with high came into existence as a kitchen, a dining room and a workspace. All rooms are multifunctional and every room enables view through the whole attic. The way the rooms were arranged, that is the lack of a corridor and an openly situated kitchen allows to compose the functionality of the studio accordingly to the daily needs of its user. Characteristic bricks on the floor define the sleeping area, the part devoted to daily activities is determined by the wood. Organizing the rooms in a much better and useful way led to greater functionality of the whole attic’s space.
The concept of a dental office in Katowice based on combining two dwellings on the ground floor of a multi-residental building. The core of the concept was to brighten the compact space with bright shades complemented by pistachio-coloured and black elements of a lightening system, electrical accessories and the fitting. Grey, smooth, resin floor matches the furniture, and the linear lightening frames create orthogonal systems on ceilings of rooms. The characteristic type of a font of the logotype has been also used to mark particular rooms in two ways: green areas (available for patients) and colourless areas (restricted for medical staff).
Our design task was to design a dental office that is able to provide a comprehensive range of dental services to all patients in a personalised way, taking care about the highest quality of such services. The office is located in the newly-built Fi housing estate in Cracow’s centre. The Investor wanted to make the interior of his dental offices and other rooms in the clinic elegant, cosy and modern.
In order to meet the Investors’ expectations, we designed the reception area in a cosy, homelike way by equipping it with a shelf for magazines and books, a wardrobe, as well as some comfortable chairs and coffee tables. The room is painted white with woody elements, but it is complemented with pastel burgundy, as well as navy blue upholstery of chairs. Some additional elements include two round lamps hanging from a woody, linear ceiling and a large Malawi aquarium.
