Apartment Refurbishment
Plac Konstytucji, 2023
The 45-square-meter apartment is located in the heart of Warsaw's Marszałkowska Housing District (MDM). Although the building has a rich history, the previous owners removed most of the original interior details, leaving only the cast iron radiator suitable for restoration.
The main goal was to transform the outdated layout of the apartment and maximize access to natural light, which enters only through a small window. To achieve this, the space was completely opened up, and a new functional layout was designed. The rooms were originally divided into two enclosed spaces and a dark kitchen. After restructuring the walls, replacing the old wall with glass doors leading to the bedroom, and opening up the kitchen, the space was enriched with more light. The new wall also redefined the bathroom boundaries, and the room corners were rounded, giving the interior a softer feel. Structural paint that reflects light was applied to the walls, and a ceramic mosaic laid in the kitchen further brightens the space.
The central element of the project became the cabinetry connecting the kitchen with the living room. The tall cabinetry, finished with stained veneer, conceals the kitchen appliances and serves as a closet from the living room side. A large poster by Tadeusz Trepkowski for LOT, hung on the front of the wardrobe, additionally brightens the interior. In the bedroom, separated by glass and steel doors, a ceiling lamp resembling a window was installed, allowing the light intensity to be adjusted, creating the impression of sunlight.
The color scheme of the interior was kept in minimalist tones, dominated by off-white and taupe shades. Every detail, from the veneer inspired by Memphis style and Ettore Sottsass’s design, to the green sintered stone on the kitchen countertop, the patchwork floor made of square tiles with colors and rough texture referencing the sandstone on the façade, and the herringbone parquet, was carefully selected to harmonize with the architecture of the MDM.

Jordanowska, 2022
The apartment owner is a graphic designer with two fun-loving children. The most important thing for her was to make the interior durable, timeless and full of eye-catching elements. The space is characterised by an eclectic colour palette, different patterns and graphic details, with each zone of the interior featuring a different design. The wall textures, composed with the colours of the furniture, blend together to create a tranquil relaxation zone, while the mosaic tiles harmonise with the stone kitchen worktop and veneer laid diagonally.

Exhibition project curated by Michalina Sablik.
The project was created in collaboration with Aleksandra Szpocińska. The display and lighting directly reference the exhibition concept and the mythical character of the Phoenix. The colors and forms are inspired by the original color scheme of the building's interior and the peeling plaster on the walls, which alludes to the ashes and ruins from which the Phoenix is reborn.
