The complex of residential buildings we designed is adjacent to modernist residential buildings from the interwar period. Modernist architecture of this period was characterized by a simple, elegant and modern aesthetic.

Our project refers to this style through a simple shape with horizontal lines marking the floors, rounded corners of the building and through the use of modern technological and material solutions. The colors of the buildings are based on two colors: graphite and walnut.
The horizontal façade strips are graphite and the space between them is filled with a system of perforated wood-colored blinds. The perforation of the blinds was designed based on and in reference to Stanisław Wyspiański’s painting “Plants at Dawn”. Closing the blinds completely reveals the hidden image. The pattern of trees and the color of the wood of the blinds should also refer to the surrounding greenery.
