The house is designed by TEŻ ARCHITEKCI from Poland. It is located in the village, near the lake and the forest. The unique character of this place is created by many birch trees growing on the plot. The main goal was to place the design of the house in the space between the trees, while adjusting the maximum exposure to the sun. The spaces inside are organized, designed and naturally lit, so as to ensure the comfort of the residents. The building is designed partly as a single-storeyed bungalow construction and partly as a two-storey building. The height varies depending on the function and position on the plot. The part of the house which is located on the east side is higher (6.5 m). The height of the building at this point does not cause shading of the usable part of the plot. On the ground floor the entrance to the house is located, the toilet, utility room and the living area, which houses the living room and the dining room. On the attic we designed the loggia with a panoramic view of the surrounding fields and woods.
We were commissioned to design interiors for The Nest – a modern coworking space. What is the real mean of the coworking space, how do we work nowadays? We tend to spend more and more time at work, or actually the border between work and leisure is being blurred. You may fight with that or just adapt.
The Nest is a place for a modern self-confident person who values its time – may work only few hours a day or maybe the whole weekend. Our main goal was to create spaces that aren’t office like, they are more like club, where you should feel comfy and cosy.
For a rural location just outside Istebna in the Southern Polish Beskidy mountains, BLUEROOM has designed and delivered a Villa. The Client requested a unique destination for family get togethers, to receive and entertain guests, and to rent out as a holiday home. The design merges the progressive desires of the Client with traditional vernacular design regulations on a strongly sloping site. This generates a Villa with two faces.
The main idea was to create something different and original. Not just a single-family house, but an abstract form.
We wanted to create a building that refers to the mountainous area, a house that seems to be a result of tectonics and not design processes.
This thought was the starting point of the project and the frame that kept the space composition in check.
Therefore, we tried to design and implement the concept of a space by escaping the standards associated with single-family houses. We wanted this house to emeryt like an erratic boulder embedded in a mountain slope, not an architectural form with walls, windows and a roof.
The interior of this photographic studio is situated in a former factory surrounded by buildings of a similar form and nature. For many years, the building housed a welding workshop. As time went by, its industrial interior required adjustments to make it more suited to the conditions needed for production processes. Welding machinery and metal presses filled up the interior from the floor up to the ceiling. It is clear that throughout the years, the interior of the building has undergone thorough changes in comparison to its initial condition, and the specific type of industrial processes has contributed to its degradation. The east-facing wall of the building, which had been stripped off of practically all windows, was its most damaged part. When the remaining layers of plaster were removed, clear evidence of intervention into the structure of the original wall appeared around the windows. This had doubtlessly been prompted by the technological requirements for the type of machinery used inside.
Personalized headquarters – a showcase of the company dealing with civil engineering.
Architectural design was created at the same time with interior design and this is why together they form an inseparable whole. It allowed to create a representative building perfectly fulfilling the customer’s needs. The building consists of three overlapping cuboids with different heights and different materials.
Façade materials – Cor-Ten steel, architectural concrete, steel and gabions – all refer to materials used in civil engineering. The don’t require maintenance and get nicely covered with patina. Huge glass surfaces make the building look light. Thus the interior becomes a part of the architecture and the facades become a part of the interior.
MVRDV Designs Renovation of a Listed Heritage Building on an Island in Wrocław
MVRDV has released its proposed design for the Concordia Hub, a renovation and extension of a 19th-century listed building on Słodowa Island in Wrocław, Poland. MVRDV’s design retains the façade of the existing building and adds a contemporary extension to the rear, creating a focal point for the neighbouring park and a destination that will attract more visitors to the Island.
The German Army used Słodowa Island as a base for artillery in 1945, meaning that almost all of the structures on the island were destroyed during the Siege of Breslau in the final months of World War 2. The existing building is notable as the only remaining survivor after a handful of other structures were demolished, with the rest of the island now serving as a popular public park at the heart of the city, and the host of a number of festivals and cultural events.
4EXPO is a company preparing exhibitions in their whole complexity all around Europe. Their headquaters include production, a large storage area, offices and social rooms. The main office building facade is inspired by the tree shape. It is beacouse wood is the main material used in the company production process. White panels of facades are made by LAMINAM. The furniture is made of plywood by the 4EXPO company in their own workshops. Walls in the main hall and the staircase are finished with HPL laminated panels with a soft linear pattern. Glass walls and glass toilet tiles make the building inside very light. Interiors are completed with ECOPHONE suspended ceilings with LED light lamps made by polish company LUG.
1500 m2 of social and creative life, of modern history and green technology at the building of Old Post Office in Gliwice. That’s in brief what Zalewski Architecture Group’s project for The Software Hous is about.
The Software House is one of the 50 fastest growing companies in Central Europe. A global brand that is aware of global trends – its customers come from different continents. On the other hand, a local company associated with Gliwice, who wants to be part of the city’s history. A brand it is something that the company thinks about itself and what it expresses and communicates outside. It’s good when the office is consistent with the company’s brand. The values important to The Software House are dynamics, creativity, individuality, honesty, respect for the employee, reliable business.
The history of the project dates back to December 2011 when Ericpol, one of Poland’s largest ICT companies, purchased a derelict plot in the centre of Lodz at the junction of Sienkiewicza street and Tymienieckiego street. It used to be the site of the Olimpia swimming pool, popular in communist times, which had fallen further and further into disrepair over recent decades.
