Care

THE CONTEXT Our history with the homeless in the care of Sister Małgorzata Chmielewska and her Foundation Chleb Życia has began in 2018. Then, for the first time, we visited shelters for the homeless and sick in Warsaw and shelter for homeless and disabled in Jankowice. One year later, in 2019 the new house for homeless in Jankowice has been opened and two years later a tiny one in Niegorzyce. In 2021 the Foundation received a plot of land in Warsaw from the city government to build a modern shelter. The new building was supposed to replace two shelters for men and women which were in very bad condition and were planned to be closed at the beginning of 2023. Piotr Krajewski The aim was to create a shelter for temporary stay for homel... More

The design of this dental office was developed with a focus on functionality, prioritizing the patient experience and the efficiency of the workflow. Right at the reception, attention is drawn to the clinic's brand, highlighted by an "L" shaped lamp that illuminates the secretary's desk and the logo.

On the Electraweg in Maassluis, we built a beautiful health center that provides space for general practitioners, dentists, a pharmacy and other health care providers.  Image Courtesy B-too Movement toward the entranceThe existing environment and the design of this rectangular mass required exceptional architectural design. Because the entrance is on the side of the property, our challenge was to make the entrance prominent from the front view of the property.  Image Courtesy B-too White blanketWe accomplished this by placing a white blanket over the massing.
