Upper One is a modern and elegant office and service building, located in the very center of Warsaw, on a plot between Jana Pawła II Avenue and Ciepła St and Grzybowska St, at 23 Jana Pawła II. The shape of the building fits in with the diverse architecture of the area and is at the same time a recognizable icon. The façade of the building is a composition of planes forming vertical glass strips arranged at an angle, which in an irregular way reflect light and the surroundings, creating an original composition different from the typical flat glass facades.

Modern architecture, high-quality materials, technological solutions that offer an excellent standard of work have been confirmed by LEED certification, while the care for the comfort and well-being of users have been recognized through the WELL certification and the title of “Building without Barriers”.

The Nowy Rynek investment is a multiphase mixed-use project. The office building is part of it, being an added value for the city, showing that the surroundings are just as important as the quality of the offices themselves. The New Market is distinguished by its unique and original façade, which shimmers in shades of green turning to a rusty pink towards the top. The lower storeys feature glass storefronts that aim to lift the building off the ground. In order to give the building a lighter appearance, the character and colours of the façades were varied and covered with a vertical arrangement of angles, which also act as shades.

It was important for us to link the complex to the Wilda residential area, so that the mass of the office building does not dominate the neighbouring buildings. The design of the bulging structures and terraced arcades was intended to break up the massive mass and give it some visual lightness and subtlety. The grand patio and its shape generates a dynamic experience for the users thanks to the changes of light, reflections and colors throughout the day.

Nobu Hotel Warsaw is a luxury hotel that brings together two beautiful experiences in one place – a stunning art-deco, early 20th century historical building and a dazzling new modern wing. It is located right in the heart of the city, offering 116-room, expansive meeting and event spaces, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and the world-renowned Nobu Restaurant.

The striking volume was created by arranging the storeys of the building as horizontally offset “slices”. This gives the monumental volume a lighter appearance, while the rounded corner block has been given balconies which, planted with greenery, will create a vertical garden in the centre of the urbanised city.

The hotel has won numerous awards, including World Luxury Hotel Awards 2023, The Plan Award 2021 and European Property Awards 2021-2022.

The house was built near the Polish-Ukrainian border. The beautiful and wild areas of the Bieszczady Mountains delight with their melancholy and abundance of nature, attracting wildlife enthusiasts.

The house sinks into the mountainous landscape. The architecture draws boundaries with nature. From the road it will remain unfenced. In places, space penetrates the massing, elsewhere it overlaps the building. The roof covered with an earth structure with a layer of turf inscribed the house into the context of the place and weakened the sense of its presence against the backdrop of the Otryt – a picturesque mountainous range of the Bieszczady Mountains.

The house emphasises the beauty of the place without negatively affecting its perception. The corten-covered building frames the view, in places even duplicating it with reflections on the large glazing.

The architecture hides among the greenery, thus opening up the house to a panorama of the overlapping Bieszczady summits. At the same time, it does not take this view away from others. On the side of the neighbouring development, the house was designed to resemble a break in the hill, while on the north side it retains the character of a building that has its own scale and mass.

When the building covered itself with a rusty coating and a thick layer of greenery it lost itself in the landscape.

The plot, in a planned manner and in keeping with natural processes, cured most of the traces of architectural intervention, leaving in view only those elements that emphasised the designed tectonics of the site.

The First District was created in the heart of Katowice, on site of the former ‘Katowice’ coal mine, where the city started to develop. This post-industrial area, after the excavation works stopped, is a direct buffer between the existing Bogucice residential district and the Culture Zone. The housing complex as a whole was to create a new space open to the surroundings. The objective of the design was also to limit the gross covered area to provide as much green space as possible.

The buildings have a balanced composition, without unnecessary ornamentation. The buildings are open, pedestrianised and embedded in the park-like greenery. The entire housing complex is intended to reflect the pragmatic character of Silesia. Every architectural element here has been considered with a view to the contemporary needs of the residents and their lifestyle. Tall buildings with large glazing provide access to natural light and beautiful views. They are spaced far enough apart from each other to ensure that each tenant has a sense of intimacy.
