Tomasz Woźniczka

The building was designed according to passive construction schemes - maximally closed on the north side and open with a living area and children's bedrooms to the south.
The building is constructed as a 2-storey cuboid,  only the necessary elements were added: a canopy over the entrance, canopies over the glass facades protecting against excessive heating of the interior.
A concrete shell in a three-layer wall was proposed for the facades as the most durable and maintenance-free finish.
