I am a 4th year Architecture student from Poland, currently residing inMadrid.IhavespentthelastyearatUniversidadCEUSanPabloon my Erasmus exchange and now I am looking forward to continuing my career in a professional setting here in Spain for another year.

During my academic career I have gained experience working for a construction company as well as working alongside accredited Architects focusing on interior design briefs, technical documentations, product research, 3D modelling and visualizations. I also placed 1st and 3rd in two national Architecture competitions, whilst developing my skillset and knowledge on different design programs.

I am particularly interested in designing clear and simple structural solutions, developing details in concrete, wood and steel technologies, creating schemes based on user convenience and functionality. In addition I enjoy working in a BIM environment and using it to enhancethefinalgraphicalrepresentation of a design.

CENTRO GALLEGO TRANSFORMATION 01

year: area: softwares:

This academic design was focused on the transformation of the existing CENTRO GALLEGO building and JACINTO BENAVENTE square, located in the centre of the city of Madrid. Aims of the design:

-Keeping the floor plans flexibility and adaptivity for future use

-Reconsideration of the urban cell being a common European model

-Improvement of interlocking relationship between building, square and city

To achieve the above, I decided to keep all the existing concrete structure together with the order of interior patios to minimize the impact on the site.

I started with defining two different structural orders: a rigid and organized grid along the facades, and fluid voids inside the building converted into patios.

I maintained the corner of the facility as a connection between interior public space and the square, whilst creating two main residential parts along the facades. The density of housing lowers as the floors go up, starting with small hostel rooms, through mid-size loft apartments, up to 400m2 penthouses.

On the top of the building there’s a public terrace providing views all around central Madrid.

All the separated elements of the square have been utilized.

This project is located on a 70m2 square plot.

The plan of the building is divided into four squares, one of which is the terrace to which the wide glazing from the living room and kitchen on the first floor and from the bedrooms on the first floor are oriented. I placed the fireplace in the center of the building so that it is always in sight.

An elementary school project with the addition of a workshop to teach and expand awareness of recycling and promote it through creative and artistic activities.

The main goal was to enable the restoration of a second life to objects, clothes and plants collected from the local community during activities at the school.

The school is intended to be a strong center for local community integration

A simple and clear plan with efficiently organized communication was designed on an 8x8m structural grid with wooden technology.

Two spacious patios facilitate interior daylight and natural ventilation, and the main hall in the middle was designed to make its space versatile and able to serve in different ways.

Among others, as a hall for registrations and meetings, exhibitions, events and receptions, outside of school hours or on weekends as a meeting place for residents of the estate or to conduct workshops and community activities.

Colorful and adjustable facades are an example of school’s main theme - recycling.

Main Hall

The multi-functional main hall has been designed so that the viewing axis continues from the estate street. It is the school’s communication center with representative stairs, a bicycle room and an open space that can be managed in various ways.

Wooden framework structure

The main structure consists of wooden columns and beams, to which prefabricated modules are mounted, which act as walls and ceilings. This method of assembly enables efficient modification of the building and adapting it to universal functions in the event of a change in the way of use.

Open communication

The corridors are located around two atriums that let more daylight into the interior of the school.

The competition task was to design a concept for renovating an old heating plant on the premises of the multi-specialist voivodship hospital in Gorzów Wielkopolski and developing the adjacent areas.

After analysing the old boiler house building and the adjacent areas, it was decided to get rid off the entire load-bearing structure and replace it with a new framework system in wooden technology.

On this framework, a new roof truss was designed, with the retaining hipped roof system that probably once existed. The main function in the newly designed Boiler House is to create a hub for the local community for hospital staff and patients.

The green area adjacent to the boiler house is closed off compositionally next to the technical building with an openwork garden structure intended for lush vegetation. Broad field in front of the heating plant was dedicated for wide sensory gardens for hortiterapy.

The project task was to create a self-sufficient urban village that, in addition to producing food for its own consumption, would also support the city of Wroclaw with supplies.

This project includes: 3 lanes of single-family rowhouses, a vertical farm building in a greenhouse technology along with a storage hall, and a community house. The plot includes 2 fruit orchards, two large ground fields for growing vegetables and fruits, and home gardens of herbs, vegetables and flowers.

One block of single-family housing was designed in detail, based on STEICO system wood technology, which meets the requirements of passive house principles. Prefabricated beam-frame system panels delivered to the site in modules, defined a structural grid with 6x6m spacing. A community garden was placed on the side of the boulevard so as to encourage residents from outside the neighborhood to participate in food growing and to promote such solutions and support the city’s ecosystem.

There are a lot of shared spaces on the plot, which include the estate’s laundry with drying room and a community building used for events.

The designed multi-family building is an addition to the existing building so as to cover the deteriorating gable wall on the street side. An elongated S-shaped floor plan defines the layout of the apartments. Each of them has two loggias penetrating the interior and are private outdoor spaces oriented to two sides of the building.

Each unit has two spacious bedrooms with built-in closets, an entry closet, a storage room, and an open living space.

The ground floor of the building has office services, and the underground has a garage.

The green façade system on the park side is based on built-in pots, from which vegetation grows luxuriantly.

The functional layout is based on the „S” shape - this is caused by loggias penetrating the interior to considerable depths. The housing units are arranged alternately - the first and third floors as well as the second and fourth floors have the same layout.
