Znamy się architecture studio created an interior design located in Wrocław. Modern furnishings and the historic structure of an old granary were combined on 170 m2.

Need for changes
The premises had a lot of potential. After all, on two levels of the old granary there is an interior with beautiful wooden beams and old brick visible in some places. Unfortunately, the previous owners successively made improvements, without consulting an interior designer. So the effect was chaotic.
- What we found we jokingly referred to as "Polish Provence". Travertine on the floor, decorative stones on the fireplace, yellow plaster, wooden furniture with a strong grain. Juxtaposed with the visible wooden structure and old brick, this created the impression of an overly rustic interior - describe the architects.

Emphasize the advantages
The overriding goal was to organize and unify the space so that it would only serve as a background for the building's unique design. Accordingly, the functional layout required modification. It was reorganized and all nooks and crannies were removed.

- Such spaces do not need much. The most important thing is not to spoil what is already there - describe the designers.
The walls were painted white. This gave the interior a lightness and classic elegance. This is how the base for further activities was created. However, historical elements were exposed - the wooden structure of the old granary, brick walls and white plaster.

Mix of past and modernity
Rustic elements have been given a second life. Wooden furniture with strong grain and carved fronts was varnished white, and the travertine on the floor was replaced with resin flooring. Modern furnishings were introduced in contrast to the found elements. They were enhanced with vibrant colors and materials, thus emphasizing the strong division between old and new.

Playing with form
The furniture has intense colors and always comes in concave or convex forms. The bookcase is a strong spot of color and is recessed against the white wall. On the other hand, convex pieces are free-standing furniture such as a compact sofa. Complementing this graphic playfulness are black lines in the form of linear lamps on cantilevers.
