GRAU’S GARDENS

 

The revitalisation of the neo-Gothic building was another attempt to restore the old fabric of the city. The dominant character of the historic palace is emphasised by the austere style of the new residential part and the limited, moderate landscaping. Old trees in the rehabilitated park have been given priority and thoroughly cared for, while the muted colours highlight the historical context. The buildings simultaneously constitute a frame for the park complex and provide a setting for Gdańska Street, thus striking a balance between the open character of the plot and the scale of the surrounding quarter development.

NA OSTATNIM GROSZU 3

 

Embedded in the chaotic fabric of this part of the city, the building was primarily intended to clearly separate the most important components of the newly constructed service complex. The simple form, classical divisions and muted colours bind the whole together, while the limited means of expression, repetition and modularity convey information about the functional programme. All this has been done so as not to divert attention away from the new spatial relationships and allow local residents to become familiar with them. Time will tell whether a bustling piece of the city can be created in the vastness of this mono-functional residential district.

 

NOWY TARG

Nowy Targ is a new experience of a building on the scale of an urban quarter. In it, we looked for metropolitan architecture with good proportions and sustainable materials. In an attempt to depart from introverted structures, we planned a bustling ground floor with service outlets accessible directly from the street. Rhythmic façades with distinctive courtyard cuts added dynamism to the body of the building and broke up the monumental scale. Façade elements were differentiated according to their compositional role and grained. We believe that it is possible to build offices that contribute to the renaissance of the street and counteract the functional monoculture in city centres.
