Design Details

Unique Properties
The design deliberately limits the range of materials and colors used, which is a key element in creating new functional interior scenarios. The design demonstrates the optimization of the composition of forms and planes, used as a means to accentuate individual rooms and highlight the quality of the selected finishing materials. The lack of obvious boundaries between partitions creates a sense of visual continuity in the design concept and can serve as a subtle guide through the home. The abstract mezzanine staircase serves as the architectural focal point and the heart of the home’s ecosystem.
Inspiration
The project illustrates the search for the perfect balance between architecture, art, and design. It is the result of creative discussions with the clients, which led to an analysis of their favorite forms and natural phenomena, including color schemes. The designer’s fascination with sculpture also had a significant influence on the final result, which was reflected in the furniture and staircase designs, as well as in the selection of design accents in the lighting fixtures and decorative accessories.
Research
An analysis of the research shows that investors and designers are consciously striving to improve quality of life, taking into account not only aesthetic and spatial qualities, but above all their integration with eco-friendly solutions aimed at reducing the carbon footprint and energy consumption. One of the most important preliminary tasks of the project was to collect basic preliminary data on energy consumption patterns and the potential for using alternative and sustainable energy sources. The result was the optimization of functional, spatial, material and execution solutions.
Challenge
A major design challenge was manipulating the proportions and boundaries of the rooms to eliminate solutions that are characteristic and typical, particularly when it comes to concealing modern installation technologies. Only the preparation of precise construction drawings, coordination, and direct supervision of the work on-site ensured that the design objectives could be achieved.
Realization and Technology
To achieve the desired results, the project relied on an in-depth technical analysis and placed a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and eco-friendly practices. It leveraged the strengths of local craftsmanship and local manufacturers. Particular attention was paid to custom-designed details and unique interior elements crafted from wood, stone, glass, and natural finishes.
Operation and Interaction
A new aesthetic and architectural context has been proposed for the occupants of this space, allowing for a continuous interpretation of the emotional codes developed during the design phase. Care was taken to ensure the use of materials with natural characteristics. The availability and variability of natural and artificial light were determined. Communication rules were defined so that the interiors would better foster the most important family relationships. LED lighting was diversified to highlight the most important functions and visual elements of the family space.
Project Duration and Location
The facility is located in Gniezno, Poland. The project began in 2019 and, with interruptions, continued until 2024.
Specifications
The thorough renovation project covered approximately 200 square meters of space on two floors. The floors, plaster, ceilings, installations, windows, stairs, and all furnishings were replaced. New eco-friendly and energy-efficient materials were introduced.
