The office was established in 2016, after 6 years of experience working on a variety of public and private use buildings in Gdańsk-based thriving architectural studio.
I enjoy working with projects of different scale and master the function and aesthetics of the designs to the detail. I find the context of architecture most important and always try to respect the surroundings to the most, especially when the location have the views and beautiful nature to benefit from. Originating from rather northern altitude and after studying in Finland, I’ve learnt to appreciate the natural light as a meaningful and exquisite factor of the designed buildings. I aim for minimal forms and the use of natural materials that patinate over time and make the architecture and interiors lifelasting.
Cooperating with various professionals and craftsmen, we always strive to understand the needs and give an individualised solution.
