The project includes interior design for parts ground floor of the former building of the Hydromechanics Unit at the Gdansk University of Technology (GUT). The concept of the project was based on the element of water, which refers to the former function of the building. For purity of form and to give priority to the exhibits, visually non-invasive materials were used, such as concrete, white plaster, glass and steel mesh.

The design is divided into five zones, each with a distinctive atmosphere and common elements that unite the entire concept. First room with a caustic effect emphasized by waved, steel sheets. Carved in glass exposition in the second chamber gives a unique character to this room. In the third hall, the exposition is integrated with old canals. Looking like a raining glass wall separates the museum from GUT’s merchandise store. The glass ampulla is the main attraction of the fourth chamber along with a big irregular conference table. The fifth room is designed to be an atheneum.
