KIDO is a public kindergarten which we like to call „the yellow crocodile“. It is situated on a triangular plot in Aleksandrów Łódzki, in central Poland. The building is a technological hybride. Ground floor is made with concrete and bricks and to build the first floor we decided to use CLT. At the begining of work on the project it turned out there was not much time. The kindergarten had to be ready by September when children start the schoolyear. We reached for CLT to speed up the construction process. Both parts were made simultaneously. Workers were building the ground floor while all the wooden elements were being prepared in the factory. As soon as the ceiling was finished the large timber blocks have arrive... More

The interchange station  in Żory is a public space that combines the functions of a station, a square and a meeting place. The priority while designing the bus station was  safety and the convenience for travellers. It was attempted to consolidate the pedestrian communication area within an island - a waiting-room square around which particular platforms were located. Thanks to this, the pedestrian streams were separated from traffic. The use of clinker in the floor and walls around the square is a bow to the historic buildings of the nearby old town. The authors' intention was to create a structure that would not be a traditional building but more an element that would formally limit the public space. Thus, the station has a form... More

There is a spectacular view of the valley and the city. A modern single-family house with an area of 350 m2 was built in Starachowice, a city located on the border of the Swietokrzyskie Mountains and the Ilzeckie Foothills. The location of the plot is unique, it is located on the northern slope of the slope, with a spectacular view of the Pasternik lake, surrounding the valley and the center of Starachowice city. Due to the orientation of the plot and the preferred viewing frames towards the north, architects were looking for a way to illuminate the house and its living area of the daytime southern sun. Solutions appear to be cut inside the building's patio - the sun illuminates the northwest living room and dining room.. The patio is also... More

Taking advantage of the terrain, the architects from Q2Studio have created an impressive building, whose well-thought-out structure allows you to admire the landscape of the Eagle Mountains and enjoy the charms of this place.

The ground floor was designated for the retail and service part with a foyer, restaurant and bar. The sixth storey is a zone of relaxation and recreation, and it will include, among oth... More

The project is dominated by transparency and minimalism. Benissa is simple forms and basic shapes with an original design. Interior arrangements combine elements of the minimal, scandi and modern style, thanks to which the whole creates a harmonious space for living and relaxing. The interior is dominated by bright, neutral colors. All rooms have been maintained in shades of gray and off-white. The object was designed in a non-obvious way. The building is invisible to people in the area, which ensures discretion and full anonymity of the investor. From the side of the road you can see only the sculptural form of the entrance zone. The villa was located next to the cliff itself, which meant that the owner can admire the view of the sea and t... More
