In 2019, on the centenary of the opening of the Bauhaus school in Weimar, designers from the Loft Kolasinski studio received a unique commission - a comprehensive interior design project for a modernist villa in Konstancin-Jeziorna. Although no documentation confirming the authorship of the building has survived, as the architects noted, the house, built in 1936, is in the style of Lucjan Korngold, an architect active in Poland and Brazil.
The arrangement of the villa's unconventional space was inspired precisely by the ideas of the Bauhaus school with its modernity, quality, craftsmanship. The two-story house underwent a major renovation leaving the interiors in a raw state. Following the style of the block, the architects created a new impressive staircase, a minimalist fireplace and woodwork to match the villa, and selected appropriate parquet and mosaic floors.

a unique home for book lovers
The first floor of the house is devoted to the living area - a living room with a work area, a kitchen with a small dining area and a functional pantry, a larger dining room with a seating area and a small bathroom. This part is distinguished by the colorful decoration of the walls - colorful lampery and decorative elements that allow a peek into the various rooms - a glass showcase in the living room or an openwork wall in the dining room.

The first floor, in turn, was used for a bedroom, dressing room, guest room and bathroom. There was also an impressive library of the villa's owners housing a collection of nearly ten thousand books in total.

In their characteristic style, designers from the Loft Kolasinski studio filled the modernist interiors with unique furnishings and accessories highlighting inspiration from the Bauhaus and trends of the 1950s and 1960s.
