We were awarded Second Prize in the competition for the architectural concept of the reconstruction of the “Bagatela” Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński Theatre in Kraków.

The concept envisions a comprehensive transformation of the theatre’s key spaces and stage technologies, while preserving and enhancing the historical character of this listed building. The project seeks to harmoniously combine heritage and modernity — to create a theatre that naturally and authentically bridges tradition and contemporary expression.

It introduces a new quality to the spatial and technical organization of the theatre: technologically advanced, functional, safe, and universally accessible, while deepening the sense of place and emphasizing the unique history and identity of the “Bagatela” Theatre.

We are proud to announce that our studio has been awarded Second Prize in the architectural competition for the State Archives building in Piotrków Trybunalski.

The guiding idea of the project is to create a space of encounter – with history, heritage, knowledge, and people. The concept is built upon a contrast between two primary architectural forms: a solid, enclosed archival volume and a bright, open space housing the lobby and reading room.

The archive, visible from public areas, serves as a constant reminder of the significance of the preserved collections. Meanwhile, the reading room invites exploration, providing an inspiring environment for study and the discovery of the past.

Congratulations to all the awarded teams!

his project – and the entire design process – was a search for points of connection, for establishing meaningful links.
Our aim was to restore the theatre’s former glory and breathe new life into it – to unite architectural quality with genuine social significance, to reconcile the preservation of material and cultural heritage with a thoughtful response to contemporary needs.

We were guided by a deep belief in the synergy that arises from bringing the old and the new together – in a meeting of tradition and modernity built on dialogue and mutual understanding.

We are sincerely grateful for the recognition of our work. It is a true honour for us.

Together with the studio jsk architekci we won the 2nd prize in the competition for the design of the ice rink complex of the Stegny Center. The facility is located at the junction of green wedges of Warsaw, in the vicinity of Fort Piłsudski, Family Plot Gardens, as well as single-family and multi-family buildings.

It is an area with a strong identity, already serving as a space for everyday recreation, important for the local community. The main design challenge we set up was to design an object of national importance, which at the same time would harmoniously fit into the character of this place. We proposed an expressive architecture with a glazed main entrance, centrally located on the compositional axis. The building is surrounded by a promenade at the level of panoramic glazing that blurs the line between interior and exterior, inviting residents inside and allowing constant contact with the greenery. The composition of the three bodies was blended into the landscape by forming a gentle rise — a hill using the existing layers of earth. The subtle roofline, developed in collaboration with SBP designers, visually reduces the scale of the building while also being a nod to the local community.
