Wave One, of the European Center for Families, is located 400 meters from the Baltic Sea in what is historically known as a health resort town. The concept is derived from the complexity of sea waves and the local vernacular of carved ornamental detailing on facade elements.

Mennica Legacy Tower, Warsaw
A new 115,000-square-meter, two-building office complex in Warsaw anchored by mBank, one of Poland’s largest banking institutions, and leading co-working provider WeWork. Located at the intersection of Prosta and Żelazna streets in the CBD, the 35-story and 10-story office buildings open to a large, landscaped plaza, with a pedestrian path that winds between them.
Villa Reden, Chorzów, Silesia, southern Poland

Villa Reden Apartments
The unique context of the place and the potential negative consequence of implementing a new tissue in this unique area meant that the decision to shape a new building was not easy and had to refer directly to these guidelines, not compete with them, and “respond” to the environment with its uniqueness in a contemporary way.
Kindergarten in Opole / Malina, Upper Silesia, southern Poland

New kindergarten in Opole / Malina
The architects aimed to create inspiring and stimulating kindergarten’s space, to foster kids growth and development. The building acts as a ‘vassel’ for young human beings, where its form casts user’s behavior, sense of security and self-esteem
Mausoleum of Martyrdom, south-central Poland
Architects: Nizio Design International

Mausoleum of Martyrdom, Michniów
Viewed from the outside, from its northern and southern elevations, the building of the Mausoleum of Martyrdom of Polish Villages in Michniów brings to mind wooden country cottages arranged one behind the other. This row of symbolic huts has a disturbing form.
Konieczny’s Ark, Brenna, Cieszyn County, Silesia
Architects: KWK PROMES

Konieczny’s Ark in Brenna
The most appropriate building turned out to be a fully open on mountain landscape one-storey building, which gives the same view to all of the interiors. Because of the plot being located in an absolute wilderness a problem of security came out.
