The Design

About City Rooftop Bolig

City Rooftop passer stilistisk ind i den arkitektoniske stil i den moderne boligbygning beliggende i historiske omgivelser. Detaljer i de designede møbler og døre svarer til polsk ornamentik fra 20'erne og 30'erne, men er samtidig moderne. Nye skræddersyede møbler er blevet kombineret med moderne italienske sofaer og stole. Lejlighedens indretning suppleres af malerier af polske kunstnere fra første halvdel af det 20. århundrede.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The intention of the architect was to design a luxurious apartment for an active married couple, who normally lives in the countryside 200 km away from Warsaw, but would like to enjoy the cultural life of the capitol. The designing process was a huge pleasure - it is not often the case that an architect has a chance to work for people he understands and truly likes.
He had to find ways to make the designed space correspond to the building combining new and old architecture. It is always difficult to blend modern and historical parts of design, but searching the history of the place and looking for fitted objects that would match to the rest, made the designing process both more challenging and more interesting. As a result, the interior design of the apartment is intentionally coherent with the architecture of the entire building, constructed with great attention to historical detail.
The architect has used design elements typical for interiors of Warsaw from the XIX and XX century, combining them with the new modern ones. The decor of the flat is complemented by works of Polish artists from the XX century: Leszek Nowosielski, Jerzy Mierzejewski and Henryk Musiałowicz. The classical sculpture was made by Tomasz Górnicki, contemporary Polish sculptor.
