The Design

About Socialist Distric Apartment Casa Residencial

O Apartamento do Distrito Socialista enquadra-se estilisticamente no estilo arquitetônico do distrito urbano realista social MDM construído sobre as ruínas da Varsóvia pós-guerra. Os detalhes do mobiliário e das portas projetados correspondem à ornamentação polonesa das décadas de 40 e 50. Novo mobiliário sob medida foi justaposto a móveis renovados em estilo art déco. A decoração do apartamento é complementada por pinturas de artistas poloneses da primeira metade do século XX.
