proj.: Bartosz Kuczynski

The design premise was to create a living space that fits well with the needs of its owners, where they could feel confident, safe and at ease.

Prefabricated Space
proj.: Sylwia Turkot
Faculty of Interior Design at Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow.
[excerpt from author's description]
Today, housing is one of the most expensive consumer goods. When a young person invests in their first apartment, they have to weigh the budget, which limits the size of the living space. In addition, as the needs of residents change over time, the number of people in the family often increases. To meet these expectations, the idea of modular houses that grow with the need was created.

PEOPLE! What are you guys doing? Are you building houses in the suburbs? Cutting down hectares of forest for sprawling housing estates? And yet you consider this a sustainable approach? Even the best-planned estate or any passive palace located in an honest field is no good. Do the residents of these estates actually know each other? Is there a genius loci, or spirit of place there?
