Katowice – Brynów
Project: 2003-2005
Built: 2005
A typical 60's house has been drastically rebuilt, including the relocation of stairs, room layout and relocation of windows. The glazed entrance hall was "thrown" beyond the outline of the old building by adding a wall covered with South American slate. A kind of a captain's bridge has been created over the entrance, and from the garden side - a teak terrace on a steel structure. The design decisions in the interior incorporated maximum opening of the ground floor plan and creation of intimate spaces for household members on the first floor. The orientation of the house allowed for effective use of daylight, while "great" order in windows shaping in northern facade, in the stairs area, allowed the house to be illuminated with mild northern diffused light. The composition of the grouped windows on the facades, emphasized by slate planes, gave the building a harmonious expression of an urban villa. Interference with the old body of the building was therefore brutal, not limited to architectural cosmetics, but gave the owners a functionally and aesthetically satisfying place to live
