25 Best Architecture Firms in Poland 2026

Emerging from the post-war ruins, Polish architecture was initially characterized by a series of Brutalist structures that symbolized the power and dominance of the totalitarian regimes in control. After the 1950s and the country’s gradual de-Stalinization, architects began to embrace new elements of modernism, allowing Poland’s architecture to evolve beyond its celebrated legacy of postwar reconstruction and experimental housing. Today, leading Polish architectural practices are redefining the country’s built environment through thoughtful public buildings, socially responsive housing, adaptive reuse, and environmentally conscious design. These firms are contributing to a diverse range of structures, including museums, e... More

New Avenue - Residential Development

New Avenue — Residential Development at Avenue of United Europe in Żory The planned multi-family residential development is a contemporary response to the needs of the city's residents: comfortable apartments, safe shared spaces, and a structured urban layout that builds genuine neighbourhoods — not just an "address." The scheme comprises 6 nine-storey residential buildings with 2 levels of underground parking. The buildings are grouped into three pairs, each connected by internal recreational courtyards located on the rooftops of the garage sections. This arrangement clearly separates traffic zones from areas of relaxation, while providing residents with a green, intimate "heart" at the centre of each cluster. MUS ARCHITEC... More

FOREST ENGAWA

The term "Forest Engawa" is a combination of a Japanese architectural element and the context of our project. The project of a single-family house in Miłoszyce near Wrocław is a contemporary interpretation of a single-story pavilion immersed in a forest clearing. The building was conceived as a calm, horizontal form that does not dominate the landscape but enters into an equal dialogue with it. The starting point was the need to create a house with a distinct identity while being maximally integrated with the surrounding forest and the daily routine of its inhabitants. MUS ARCHITECTS Concept, Context, and Assumptions The architecture of the house is shaped by a combination of Japan-inspired minimalism with functionality and warmth c... More

Void & Mass Villa - Architecture of synthesis

A monolithic villa harmoniously blended into the forest surroundings on the outskirts of the city of Będzin. Context and site conditions The design of the contemporary villa at the edge of the Łagisza Forest in Będzin is a refined response to the specific geographical and urban conditions of the site, as well as to the needs of the family who will live in this house. The location of the development on the outskirts of the city, in the immediate vicinity of forest complexes such as the historic Łagisza Forest, defines the primary design vector: the pursuit of harmony between a raw, anthropogenic form and the organic environment. MUS ARCHITECTS The suburbs of a city situated in the center of the Upper Silesian Industrial District... More

Reconstruction of an Old Farmstead

The Reconstruction of an Old Farmstead project reimagines a historic agricultural compound in a village in the Kashubian region of northern Poland, not far from the Baltic Sea. The intervention focuses on the reconstruction and adaptation of two buildings within a traditional rural homestead: a century-old house and its neighbouring barn. Andrzej Niegrzybowski Rather than replacing the ageing structures, the project retains the original spatial composition of the farmstead and reinterprets it for contemporary use. The house has been converted into two independent year-round holiday apartments, while the adjacent barn is planned to become a holiday residence in a later development phase. The architectural strategy centres on respecting... More

LANDSCAPE VIEW

Landscape View is a conceptual single-family home in the Mazury region, whose main idea is to create a panoramic viewing house—a space that allows its inhabitants to fully enjoy direct contact with the surrounding nature. The project’s name is not accidental: the house serves as a succinct frame for the landscape horizon, highlighting the unique natural values of the site and enabling their daily experience. MUS ARCHITECTS A simple, horizontal volume, made from a material rooted typologically in local architecture, and an iconic frame structure that accentuates the view are the key conceptual aspects of this project. The entire structure has been shaped to respect and enable the enjoyment of the site’s natural and vi... More

House in Wrocław

The house in Wroclaw was quite a challenge for us - a big limitation was the unusual, irregular shape of the plot, and the location of the entrance - the access to the building is located between existing buildings, so we had many obstacles when designing.  TRZY.BE ARCHITEKCI TRZY.BE ARCHITEKCI TRZY.BE ARCHITEKCI   The plot itself is also not very large, and in the functional plan that investors assumed, in addition to standard living quarters for a family of 2+2, we also had to plan for a large, as much as 40-square-meter art studio room for one of the owners. In view of the investors' passion for art, we were not afraid to propose a more daring form - the terrace at the living area and the two-car carport h...

K-House

House K is one of our projects that had waited the longest for its construction. We started working on it in 2012, yet the house has just been finished in 2021. Piotr Krajewski In the meantime, the project and the construction have encountered some adventures. The original concept assumed that the building would be part of a larger complex, which was intended to be a multigenerational family residence. Later the client has decided to move her house to another, much more attractive location. When we started working on the necessary adjustments to the project, the site had a virgin appearance, partly overgrown with a forest, gently sloping into the valley of a nearby river. When the house was finally completed, the neighborhood became s... More
