About City Rooftop Residentieel

City Rooftop sluit stijlistisch aan bij de architectonische stijl van het moderne woongebouw gelegen in een historische omgeving. Details van het ontworpen meubilair en de deuren corresponderen met Poolse ornamentiek uit de jaren 20 en 30, maar zijn tegelijkertijd modern. Nieuwe maatwerkmeubelen zijn gecombineerd met moderne Italiaanse banken en stoelen. Het decor van het appartement wordt aangevuld met schilderijen van Poolse kunstenaars uit de eerste helft van de 20e eeuw.

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.
