Yaw House / Robert Konieczny + KWK Promes

This house was not built in opposition to the terrain – it was shaped by it. Located in the Beskid Mountains, on a demanding plot with a distinct slope, the house quite literally "yaws" – turning toward the southern exposure, embedding itself in the topography and surrounding landscape.

In 2016, we were invited—along with several international studios—to take part in a closed competition for a single-family house in one of Vilnius's suburban districts, organized by a private client. This is an area characterized by loose, traditional development, with houses and summer cottages nestled among trees and expansive recreational grounds. On the plot included in the competition, as well as in its surroundings, there were once wooden houses from the interwar period, which have not survived to the present day.

Gambit Office / Robert Konieczny + KWK Promes

Gambit, a specialist pipe distribution company, commissioned us to design an office-warehouse building that would serve as its unique showcase. Yet we were asked to do it at the lowest possible cost. So we came up with the idea of using the material they trade in, which they could also acquire at cost. At the same time, we wanted the office and warehouse sections to form a unified whole. As a result, we designed the building to look like a stack of pipes, immediately communicating what the company does. A rectangular production hall once stood on this site, but the immediate surroundings consist of residential houses with steep roofs, often accompanied by long, cubic outbuildings. This inspired the final form of the building.
