The large green square at the junction of Lubartowska, Wodopojna, Świętoduska and Bajkowskiego streets used to be a big market square up until the outbreak of WWII. The venue housed a cafeteria for a few decades after that, but the object was eventually closed and abandoned. Up until the latest years the square was brimming with lush green trees which have unfortunately been cut out. Nowadays the venue has become an unkept and ramshackle object neglected by the locals. An idea of turning it into a mall arose over the course of most recent years.
Our approach was to return this venue as a green area for the people to use, but also with a modern twist to it. We decided to re-use the building of the cafeteria to house a tea shop, a cafe and a brewing school.
The adjoining greenhouse houses a collection of exotic plants such as palms and cacti and a butterfly conservatory for guests to visit, thus allowing the venue to partially reclaim its function as a rare green area in the vicinity of Lublin's Old Town.
The building has an underground car park accessed from the northern part of the building lot. The ground level houses the supporting roms and the headquarters, the upper level comprising the cafeteria and a pathway to observe the collection of plants put on display.
The object has a form of an organic, natural structure mimicking the form of a droplet of water and is finished in translucent glass.

Końskowola, a small village placed not far from Puławy, Poland has once been an important center of Jewish culture. The Jewish heritage of the venue has been largely erased by now, having only been left in the memories of its inhabitants, and among them, largely the sage and elderly. This design and research focuses on finding any information and Jewish heritage left and creating a memorial so that the culture doesn't become forgotten.
The research uncovered a large number of wooden buildings of high aesthetic value worthy of being preserved, many of them having been former homes of local Jewish families. An additional research uncovered two Jewish necropoleis: one being used by the society to bury their loved ones prior to WWII, the other being a mass grave of those executed by the Nazi authorities during the war. A Protestant cementery is placed right next to the latter.
Apart from suggesting the protection of the historical buildings to be added to the local law, we proposed the creation of certain memorial pillars, an interactive whiteboard for educational purposes and a modern yet tasteful inclosure for the WWII mass grave. We also suggested the revilalisation of an existing building in the vicinity of the mass grave to house the information about the city's past and serve as a monument of its multicultural heritage,
The building's form was chosen to be simple in its shape - it employs glass walls enclosed from the sides and the rooftop by gabions to admit as little light as possible into the object so as to create a space of contemplation and peace.

Due to many historical events and the naturally occuring deterioration of buildings due to old age and neglect many gaps among existing historical objects appear. These gaps should be filled with new objects, known as infills, to maintain the continuity and aesthetics of streets and cities in general.
The empty building lot in Olejna street, Lublin is located in an attractive venue at the heart of the historical city center of Lublin, yet it has been left unkept for years ever since the previous Olejna 6 tenement house's demolition prior to WWII. The tenement house was never rebuilt and the abandoned lot assumed the function of a parking lot and a place to hoard waste.

The tenement house was never rebuilt and the abandoned lot assumed the function of a parking lot and a place to hoard waste.
Most of the existing buildings have a mixed function, serving both as tenement houses and retail or service buildings. The services are usually housed on the ground floors or inside the modernized or refurbished underground floors of the buildings.
The designed objects serves a cultural function and houses a modern convention center for young convention enthusiasts, and is also capable of housing a small cafeteria.
Its underground floor serves as a small cinema, and it also houses a few rooms for LARP and RPG rooms for the use of dungeon masters. The ground floor houses the security, maintenance rooms and a cafeteria. The second storey houses a lobby and additional RPG and prelection rooms, the top floor housing the headquarters and workshop rooms.
The object is maintained as a brutallistic form finished in architectural concrete, the only decor being the big glass sufraces in the form of windows.
Since it only occupies the half of the Olejna 6 building lot one of its external walls has been left without any windows, allowing the deconstruction of its facade in favour of another infill to be erected to fill the empty area completely.

Górna street in Lublin is one of many old streets in the centre of the city to feature empty spacer between existing tenement houses which should be used for the erection of new buildings. One of the tenement houses here served as a headquarters for Armia Krajowa / Home Army during the WWII, hence the idea for a museum to be erected on an empty building lot at the junction of Górna and Mościckiego streets.
The designed building comprises 5 storeys and an underground level serving as a storage area for pieces of exhibition. The ground level houses a spacious lobby with a cloakroom, maintenance and security rooms. The remainder of the levels serve as a display for the pieces of exhibition save for the top floor, which houses the headquarters and a conference room.
The elevation of the building is maintained in simple red clinker, the entrance being accented with the use of simple decoration and glass panels. The large windows overseeing Mościckiego and Górna streets are partially blinded by the clinker to create special lighting effects inside.

Big exhibition and trade centers are and important point on the maps of many cities, and Poznań, Milan and Dubai can serve as good examples for their importance and impact on the cities' urban planning. They trigger the appearance and growth of infrastructure - transport, whether one names motorways, airports or railway, as well as retail centers, services and hotels. Nowadays big exhibition centers serve as immense communication nodes and trigger the development in their vicinities.
The pleacement of our idea for an exhibition center was motivated by the proximity of an airport (placed in Świdnik, 800m away), the Świdnik's city center (1500m away), a railway station (600m) and Lublin's city center (8000m). Both cities are very well connected by public transport - coaches and buses run from one city to another a few times an hour every day. The terrain around the venue is an immense flat surface allowing for the creation of a spacious car park.
The object itself is designed as a simple prism divided into smaller cube-like forms to distinguish its separate modules. The elevation is maintained in ascethic white plaster / hpl panels decorated with panels of translucent glass.
The underground floor serves as a big parking lot and is connected with the ground floor by two big stairways equipped with elevators. The ground floor's layout is divided into square modules, each one or a cluster thereof serving a different purpose: a conference hall, leisure space, bathrooms, office and headquarters rooms, luggage storage, cloakroom and more.
The space within the object can be easily divided to make many smaller rooms if required.
