Even a former stable can get a new life. Individuals studying at Akademia Techniczno-Artystyczna Nauk Stosowanych w Warszawie (ATA) took part in a 48-hour architectural hackathon, during which they created concepts to develop a redevelopment of the former manor stable in Wyszkow Municipality.
The former manor stable in Wyszków is one of the last surviving monuments in Wyszków. On the initiative of the Municipality of Wyszków and the Academy of Technology and Arts in Warsaw, an architectural hackathon was organized, during which participants worked intensively for 48 hours to create a proposal to redevelop the stable. Five teams were selected from 35 applications to participate in the event.

The hackathon also included a site visit not only to the study area, i.e. the grounds of the manor stables, but also a tour of the Skarżyński Palace, which is inaccessible on a daily basis.
winning project to develop the former stable
The project that received the greatest recognition from the jury was created by Bartlomiej Warmian and Dominik Bartnik under the leadership of Mikolaj Michalak. The main goal of their project was to emphasize the value of the already existing stable building.
The authors proposed to create an additional object accompanying the stable, which instead of dominating the original building, becomes a background for it. This effect was achieved by designing a minimalist white block, which emphasizes the character of the historic stable structure.

In order to restore the original charm of the stable, we decided to uncover the brick on its facades. This decision was aimed at showing the authentic character of the building, which tells the history of the place and at the same time enhances its aesthetics by contrasting it with the modern, simple form of the added part of the

The former stable gained new functions in their project: cultural, educational and gastronomic. They intermingle inside the building thanks to the open-plan concept, allowing greater flexibility in interior development methods.
In the study area, the authors also decided to take advantage of the scenic qualities of the area. The stable is located near the Bug River, over which a scenic footbridge and an amphitheater were designed so as to open the building to nature.

Ultimately, the design by Bartlomiej Warmiak and Dominik Bartnik combines care for historical heritage with a response to the contemporary needs of Wyszkow residents. The former stable becomes a place of rest and education in their project.
Minimal interference in the historic structure and modern solutions
Another team participating in the hackathon consisted of Beata Kwiatkowska, Piotr Rondomanski and Bartosz Bodalski, also studying at the Academy of Technology and Arts in Warsaw. Their project focuses on the preservation of architectural heritage and sustainable adaptation. The authors decided to minimally interfere with the structure of the former stable and incorporate new elements into it. However, they removed an annex that limited access to light and views of the river. The newly designed pavilions gained a fully glazed facade, wooden structure and green roofs.

The interior of the former stable was divided into three main functional zones: educational, cultural and gastronomic. They make it possible to organize thematic exhibitions, local initiatives, and meetings of local organizations. An intimate music hall was also designed there. The gastronomic zone makes interesting use of former stable boxes, transforming them into a place for guests.

The works were evaluated by a jury consisting of: : Wyszkow mayor Piotr Plochocki, vice mayor Alicja Staszkiewicz, Żaneta Kozak ─ head of the Investment and Fund Acquisition Department at the Town Hall, Adam Szczerba ─ chairman of the Town Council inWyszków, Mariusz Kowalski ─ director of WOK "Hutnik", Malgorzata Bajowska ─ architect and teacher of ZS1 and member of the municipal architectural and urban planning commission, and Jakub Bazelak ─ architect.
