The newly developed estate consists of a complex of 12 single-family houses. The distinctive architecture of the houses aims to provide an alternative to generic developer estates. The buildings relate to their surroundings, primarily occupied by single-family homes of various typologies and accompanying outbuildings, often on a smaller scale.  Nate Cook Nate Cook By using specific quotes from the surrounding architecture, such as the varied and fragmented scale or "home" materials like plaster and "economical" materials like sheet metal, the buildings have developed their own design language. The houses are divided into a "base" – the ground floor with an extended section of the upper floor, and a "house" – the... More

This house, which fits its shape to a long and very narrow plot, stands on Kraszewskiego Street in Warsaw. Among other houses standing on the street frontage, SLIM HOUSE K20A is distinguished by the characteristic form of its front elevation, which resembles the shape of an inverted P letter. Radosław Gałczyński Radosław Gałczyński Radosław Gałczyński Its body and function have been adapted to the unusual plot. In order to obtain optimal building conditions on a plot 10m wide and 50m long, it was decided to base the building on the border. This allowed for additional windows on the longer elevation of the house and allowed for proper lighting in the living room and kitchen on the first floor of the building. The house gained... More

Black Box House is a building adjacent to an existing building in the Warsaw district of Wola - Garden District, standing in one line with a joyful building, with colorful facades and various roofs. This building stands out because it is the only one at this colorful festival in a black clinker façade.  Radosław Gałczyński Radosław Gałczyński This is an uncompromising project.

It's a black monument that stands in the middle of chaotic buildings of past years, as a new architectural standard. Radosław Gałczyński Radosław Gałczyński... More

Project name:  Five Corners Square in Warsaw Typology: Landscape Localization: Warsaw, Poland Year: 2016 Team: Jakub Figel, Filip Kurasz     IDEA The main project idea is to emphasize the integrity of the square with the surrounding buildings. On the groundfloor level, the strips outlined from the buildings corners symbolize the acoustic waves that are creating the “melody of the place”. We can interpret buildings as a "musical instrument" which interacts with its vibrations and sounds on the surrounding urban space.  The use of the aforementioned offset also emphasizes historical communication routes.  The proposed solution aims to create a cohesive, clear, complex and mysterious place, which is a communication node for the Warsaw Downtown...

Project name:  Anti-smog bridge in Warsaw  Typology: Bridge Localization: Warsaw, Poland  Year: 2017 Team: Jakub Figel, Filip Kurasz, Karolina Jankowska   The concept for the pedestrian-cyclist bridge over Vistula River was created for the international architecture competition. It is based on the anti-smog solution that aims to provide better air conditions in the city.    GUIDELINES  The main guideline for the design of the Bicycle-Pedestrian Bridge across the Vistula River in Warsaw became the relationship between the existing bridges and the new form. The proposed bridge due to its lower rank can not dominate or compete with the exisitng Świętokrzyski Bridge. For this reason, architects decided to design a horizontal structure blending... More
