At BXBstudio we design buildings that are both, modern and routed in tradition. This combination allows us to create interesting design shapes like ”The Polish Farmhouse”, where in the place of five outbuildings we designed five ”Polish Barns”, and these barns create an interesting space. On one side it creates a courtyard together with an existing, historical house, over 100 years old, and on the opposite side these barns open up onto a beautiful landscape. The old house has become a party or hobby place and can serve as a house for guests. The new family house (Polish Barns) has a unique layout consisting of a garage and a gym on the road side, an entrance space and kitchen on the courtyard side, children and study rooms beside some trees and a pond. At the back of the Farmhouse there is a living area with a private parents space above. The living area is open to the surroundings on all sides.
Recently nominated for the EU Mies award 2019 ‘red house’ by Biuro Toprojekt is situated in a Cistercian landscape of Rudy Wielkie, a vast area in Upper Silesia of Poland. The walls of the building were made out of hand-sorted waste bricks from nearby brickworks making it a perfect fit for the vicinity of Rudy where one can find a number of brick buildings built in a masterly way.
Pre-school education is one of the most important stages in human development, so we should carefully care for the quality of space in which this process takes place. Children cannot be underestimated and serve only colored interiors. A child is a serious, sensitive recipient who puts the highest demands on the designer.
A five-branch kindergarten was established in the center of Kleszczówka district in the suburbs of Żory. The immediate environment is dominated by chaotic single-family buildings. A little further you can meet small clusters of four blocks. In this environment, the kindergarten is the space and new quality.
Project reflects the belief, that architecture while responding to all pragmatic needs affects our mental well-being and spirituality. Well-balanced space might benefits to introspection, contemplation and strengthens spiritual and emotional life.
Despite the prosperity, many people struggle nowadays with the lack of time, fatigue, overwhelmment and the complexity of the modern world. Lack of relationships, visual noise and constant rush, distract our attention from what is really important.
Imagine a café, a reading room, a bookstore and a coffee roasting company all located in a refurbished former milk bar. The idea to create a place that would meet various needs of book lovers and coffee enthusiasts was a consequence of bringing together owners’ professional passion (for books) and memories of exotic (African) childhood. The space is divided into three zones that clearly illustrate this multifunctional concept.
Leading idea of Vistula Waterfront design was to refer to existing urban site by providing a composition opening towards the Vistula River and reinforcing the links with Khal’s Square. Architects wanted to create specific character of particular parts of the boulevard by alternating different kinds of temporary urban space and park areas. The boulevards were designed concerning variable water levels in the Vistula River. In result the bank changes its shape with the height of the water in the river.
Młode Miasto or Young City of Gdansk has always had a significant role in the development of the City. Since its first official mentioning in the historical chronicles of 1380, the site has been recognized as a new and attractive settlement area for future generations and with such a rich past, the identity of the new neighbourhood should be built around this heritage.
Like a palimpsest, traces of the different periods of the shipyard can be found overlaid throughout the site. Thess traces form a starting point for the definition and design of the public realm, with each main public space referring to a specific period of history and reimagined for future programs offering a mixed and people-centred new district. Streets and plazas will turn into an urban timeline with a “memory walk” resurfaced and revived for the new community and future generations of Gdansk. The main advantage of this part of the city has always been its location. Not only because of its direct connection to the Main City, but also, due to the nearby Vistula river which has been the main source of water and transport.
Central Square – known now as Parade Square – is a Warsaw main landmark for tourists and citizens. Mostly because of its central location on the map of the city and direct relation with Palace of Culture and Science – the highest and most iconic building in Poland.
Everyday loads of people are passing through the Parade Square on their way to work, train station or just to handle their daily duties. Despite being located in a communicational and administrative heart of the City, the space is excluded from everyday metropolitan life. As meeting point or destination for spending time, its role seems to be marginal.
The reason of the lack of interest is “the great nothingness”. There is no specified development plan for the Square so people feel free to use it in random ways.
Nanan means sweetmeats in French and sweets play the leading role in this signature design of a modern patisserie. The deliberately minimalist interior provides a subtle setting for the protagonists: finely decorated sophisticated cakes and éclairs made with meticulous care.
Due to the poor technical condition of the old kindergarten building, authorities of Zlotniki Kujawskie decided to undertake a tendering procedure for a design of a new building for 125 pupils, grouped in 5 departments and to use the same, extensive building plot. The basic criteria which have to be met by the newly designed facility, in addition of course being in accordance with the planning decision describing rules of the location of investment of public purposes, were firstly the need of locating all functions of the building at the ground floor block, so that all the rooms have direct access to the garden with a playground and secondly the use of the simplest and cheapest ways of building in particular the technology of masonry construction with polystyrene blocks as thermal insulation and plastered facades, all to fit a small budget for this purpose.
