Although Gdańsk is closely related to water, the city is lacking recreational points which could be used all year round. Thus, inspired by medieval traditions of the Gdańsk city and traditional polish cure methods, we’ve created the modern interpretation of historical baths.

The idea is complemented with herbal aromatherapy and beer oriented cures, which also support community relations. Our purpouse is to reuse the post imperial shipyard hall and create an unique spot while preserving a historical atmosphere. The whole project consists of internal part (baths, pools, saunas) and external garden with a water aromatherapy and inhalation system. The whole complex is a synthesis of old habits and modern technologies.

7 various swimming pools (soaked with herbal oils) - 5 indoor and 2 outdoor. Main pool connected with beer bar.

In addition to the classic swimming pools, the complex has the possibility of a curing beer baths.

Outside are located private graduation towers.

There is dedicated space for saunas with three sauna tubes. It is equipped with showers, toilets, shelves. In addition to the internal rest zone, it is possible to go to the external one.

There is a separated space where you can go for a massage.

Brine Graduation Towers

The overal concept of the outdoor structures is a modern interpretation of a traditional for polish culture brine towers. They consit of blackthorn branches attached to the structure, which are connected with the saline water pumping system. Falling down water create an uniqe and healing air, which is also conductive for relaxation. Small size of the towers provide privacy and tranquility.

BRINE GRADUATIONTOWERS

The OUTDOOR is dedicated to our brine systems. We designed frorm reffering to th blackthorn branches inside the structure, provide place to sit and an opening in the ceiling to provide ventilation, sun light but in the same time to save from the rain. Trees located around the whole plot provide privacy.

DISTILERY

A small distilery has been built on the edge of the plot, which enables us to produce the essential oils used in our gradiation towers in a natural way.

CURTAIN CONCEPT

Apartment building with a service ground floor

CONCEPT OF THE COMPOSITION // positive and negative space analysis street

Primary assumptions

FORM // Curtain motif

Thanks to this analysis it was possible to select attractive points so to preserve their relation with the new settlement. In this manner, not only new residents benefit from the unique view of the surrounding classical architecture but also current residents of the distircit who do not loose the perspective view from their windows.

Functional divisions

Artists have long used curtains in their work to both spotlight the enigma of everyday life and obscure certain elements. Drawing from this "curtain concept", I've chosen to explore this motif in art, noting its use since antiquity. My own interpretation involves creating panels from semi-transparent glass, maintaining a level of privacy while allowing glimpses of inhabitants' life, fostering a connection with the urban environment.

Design concept includes three apartments levels, underground parking and closed roof terrace available from all staircases. The main aim was to provide maximum access to exterior spaces for inhabitants and to connect flats with the surroundings. For this purpose every apartment

has two balconies- one opening to southern and one to northern side. All apartments have also access to common green terrace which can serve as an integration point and what is more, it is available all year round.

SUSTAINABILITY

The designed urban ensemble is situated on Osowa district’s fringe, nestled between Wysockie lake and forestsurrounded residences, with one border defined by nearby PKM tracks. The district is a mix of small multi-family housing and minor services. At the edge of the plot is located PKM stop and future one will be developed close to area’s end.

Our goal was to design a space harmonizing with the existing environment, integrating the layout seamlessly with the valley’s topography, ensuring a visibly ordered, but loose development. We defined nodes as public spaces, encompassing pergolas, local services, and stores. Emphasizing harmony with topography, we established pedestrian paths which, along with greenery, create a communal neighborhood space.

Process & Strategy

According to WHO Health is not only the obsence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.

STAGE 1

Informed by user needs and the compact city concept, we propose a space combining four intertwined zones: housing, a health center, a recreational center, and retail & dining. We initially divided these zones distinctly but gradually blended them for easy access to all facilities.

STAGE 2

Our buildings, shaped to align with the topography, will slope towards the lake, blending residential areas with restaurant and bar pavilions. Local art exhibitions will guide inhabitants through the space. On the plot’s south side, we’ve positioned a health unit featuring a rehabilitation center and sports facilities.

STAGE 3

Our main purpose is to create a HEALTHY CITY

Density: Compact Cities

Mobility: Connected Cities - friendly for pedestrians, cyclists, providing public transport

Variety: Complete Neighbourhoods - mix of public servies, health institutions, healthy food options

Landscape: Green Cities - diverse green spaces and public spaces which socialise inhabitants

Housing: Quality Homes - comfortable and warm

Urban development plan & strategy

spaces for activity close to the dwelling place (arranged public spaces in the closest location of houses encouraging residents to physical outdoor activity)

creating local communities and identification with a place (pergolas equiped with grills serving as a space connecting people)

spaces for activity of all age groups and for the whole families (playgrounds and gaming fileds, paths leading to the lake which can be used by pedestrians, cyclists or rollerskaters)

natural environment (our settlement is composed with harmony with existing nature)

TRANSPORT

Process & Strategy

Initially, we linked pedestrian paths to existing and planned PKM Stops, then introduced a central bus stop. Car roads encircle the plot, accessing inner zones only through woonerfs, thus controlling traffic and promoting smoother transitions. This layout encourages sustainable modes of transport like cycling and walking.

QUALITY OF PUBLIC SPACES

Our design aims to foster community-building and leverage the plot’s existing assets—its proximity to a lake and forests—to promote outdoor activities. We proposed a green path, equipped with seating, grills, and outdoor facilities, traversing the valley to the lake, and connecting neighborhood pockets. Featuring local grocery shops and interspersed with wilderness, it offers an accessible, high-quality public space adjacent to dwelling areas.

PLAY OF CHIAROSCURO

Interior design of a single family house

Nowy Port district / Gdańsk

In cooperation with Antonina Cieślik

My duties: concept (together), 3d model (Revit), renders (3ds Max and Corona)

The kitchen features reflective stainless steel surfaces, while concrete flooring unifies the space. Textured glass in the winter garden generates unique reflections, and indoor plants enliven the interior. Soft fabric furnishings create a relaxation zone, with pink glass adding a memorable touch of whimsy.

Assumptions // Outcome

MOVEMENT // DEFORMATION // REFLECTIVITY // ACTION

Drawing inspiration from nature, especially water, and the building’s exterior, our aim was to design a space that complements its sculptural form. The wavy panels create stunning light effects, which we sought to enhance as the main interior decoration. We achieved this through curvy planes and lines, and light-interactive materials like colored glass, mirrors, and metals.

Spatial daylight autonomy checked for operating hours during the whole year gave us much higher score than it is needed. According to WELL at least 55% of the space should receive at least 300 lux of daylight for at least 50% of operating hours each year. In case of our study 99,8% of room area is above that target so it meets the recruitments.

Annual Sunlight Exposure according to WELL was analysed for 1000 lux during the whole year. The overal score should be smaller or equal 10% b e l o w 2 5 0 h o u r s e a c h y e a r . Unfortunately, in this analysed space the outcome is equal 51,9% which means that it doesn’t meet those standards and the space receives too much direct sunlight.

Unfortunately, in this analysed space the outcome is equal 51,9% which means that it doesn’t meet those standards and the space receives too much direct sunlight.

DA: Summing up, we can observe that during Summer Solstice average DA is equal 98,41% which is nearly 2 times more than minimum (IEASNA 2013). In this time the whole space will be perfectly illuminated however there is a high possibility of a glare and unwanted visual contrast.

During winter artificial lightning will be needed because of maximum DA equal 33,33% which is below minimum value. During Spring and Autumn Equinox most of the space will be also well-lit.

Daylight is introduced to the building by windows and glass winter garden. Most of windows are located on the south thus the purpouse of this analysis is to check their correctness.

OUTCOME

The living room is well lit and autonomus during most of the year. However the glare risk is high therefore it’s needed to limit the access of light coming through the winter garden.

Conceptual design

Project was designed based on contrast between compositional principles - complexity and simplicity. The idea was to combine those two and create one form with a function of a beach bar.

The impression of simplicity was contained in flat square walls, whereas complexity was created by rotation of the panels and by use of irregular but organic shapes.

Conceptual design PERFORMANCE CENTER

Matisse’s art inspired

Performance Center is located between two already existing buildings and is a form of passage to the park. The form constains open-air performance space on the ground floor which is available for all passing people, rehearsal space on the upper floor and main studio which is coated by glass from the park side. Thereby performances can be observed from the park.

Passage is an invtation for passers - by to explore the world of art and culture. It is a performance space but also an area for the artsists.

Architectural concept

Inspired by Henri Matisse’s sketches and his pure use of line I have created interpretation of his art in architectural forms. The process began with accurate following of his brush strokes and interpreting it as a non-figarative vision. Based on that I created spatial compositon which was the genesis of my architectural project.

Interior project & renders

This project is an assgnment to propose a new solution for the outdated conference room functioning as a space for directorship’s meetings. I was asked to propose simple design as the time for the transformation was very short. I’ve used bright colour range mixed with stronger black accents to refer to the automotive industry but aslo to stimulate people to work.

My duties included: inventory taking, propositions of materials and furniture, calculations of needed amount of materilas, renders with propositions.
