inspiration

The concept for the revitalization of the tenement house at 12 Bałuki Street in Szczecin involves transforming part of the building into a complex inspired by the philosophy of mindfulness. The idea was taken from Japanese culture. The Buddhist concept of "jiriki" means the power of self-reliance, the ability to achieve liberation and enlightenment through one's own efforts. The complex includes a variety of carefully designed spaces.

The lowest floor offers a wellness area, including a yoga studio, locker rooms, restrooms, and massage and acupuncture rooms. The first floor houses a food court, serving Japanese cuisine and world-renowned teas. The preparation and composition of the dishes are intended to reflect a traditional approach to Japanese cuisine, characterized by a strong emphasis on "mindful eating."
