Nowoczesne okna dachowe w kuchni

Modern roof windows in the kitchen

© Velux

Roof windows are a great design solution for attics, an idea for visually enlarging space, or letting light into long rooms without facade windows. However, it is important to keep in mind that windows are particularly vulnerable to conditions outside as well as inside the building - changes in weather, temperature and humidity. Which roof windows should you choose to best suit your demanding interiors? Read our tips. [...]

From amazing integrated kitchen islands and impressive wall panels to fusing cultures and eco-friendly materials, news from Neolith®. Today, the kitchen is one of the most used domestic spaces and is no longer just a traditional place to prepare food.

New Museum of Ceramics in Boleslawiec

Marta Kowalska, 25 of February '21

Boleslawiec is not only the capital of ceramics, but, as the residents effectively remind us, a city of creators and artists. Among design, it is ceramics that have become most famous, which not only decorate museum display cases. Boleslaw ceramics is still alive and, also thanks to contemporary designs, local products are still the city's most popular export good. Now the exhibits of the Museum of Ceramics will be moved to a more representative place, the former Pückler Palace. The competition [...]

A 2018 study of prefabricated construction (detached and semi-detached houses) in Central and Northern Europe conducted by Roland Berger analysts forecast an increase in demand for such solutions in Poland. Although, as the analysts noted, in our country prefabricated houses are less popular than in the other regions considered (Switzerland, Austria, Scandinavia, Germany and the UK), their popularity will grow in the coming years.

How about transforming a historic church for yourself?

Marta Kowalska, 24 of February '21

Maybe a decade ago in Poland, the desacralization of churches was controversial, but even then in Western Europe old churches, chapels and monasteries were being converted into apartments or even entertainment facilities. Today, an offer to sell a historic church in Lower Silesia is attracting a lot of interest not only from the media, but also from buyers. Is this the beginning of a new [...]

Dom MJ

MJ House

wiz.: Wydmy Studio © Kruk Rasztawicki Architekci

The simple, square plan of the MJ House, designed by architects from the Kruk Rasztawicki studio, can be misleading. Well, just a two-story single-family house divided into a common living area on one floor and a night area - with bedrooms and bathrooms - on the next floor. However, it's far from the classic forms of the surrounding houses - the monolithic, minimalist and thoroughly modern body similar to a parallelogram is adapted to a steep, narrow plot with a spectacular view of the city and [...]

architecture

Architecture is the art of designing and building spatial forms and shaping the space between them. According to Vitruvius, author of the treatise "On Architecture of Books Ten," the basic principles of designing and constructing buildings are durability, utility and beauty.

Architecture provides a framework for living, working, learning and entertaining. The history of architecture is also the history of human civilization. It has shaped and changed over the centuries in accordance with the needs, current trends and available technological solutions. To this day, we can marvel at the elements of architecture of ancient cultures, admire the dominant styles in different centuries and see the diversity in architecture in different parts of the world.
