Lake house / Ultra Architects

Nina Vuga — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Lake House is located on the shore of a lake in western Poland. Designed as a contemporary retreat immersed in nature, the project explores the relationship between architecture, landscape, and local cultural traditions. The concept was inspired by the simple utility structures commonly found around lakes-boathouses, storage sheds, and hangars used for water sports equipment. Their honest forms and durable materials became the starting point for a modern interpretation of a lakeside dwelling.

House Among The Trees / Wrzeszcz Architekci + mode:lina architekci

House Among the Trees is the result of a collaboration between two studios: Wrzeszcz Architekci, responsible for the architectural design, and mode:lina™, which developed the interior concept and design. The shared ambition was to create a cohesive environment where architecture, interior space, and the surrounding landscape complement one another. The building was designed by Borys and Mariusz Wrzeszcz, while the interiors were developed by the mode:lina™ team with Anna Kazecka-Włodarczyk as lead designer and Jerzy Woźniak as co-author of the concept. The house was built on a plot densely filled with tall pine trees. From the outset, the project assumed that the building should not compete with its surroundings but instead become a natural extension of them. The architecture takes advantage of the site's potential, opening the house widely towards the landscape.

Escaping From Ceramics: Ideas for Bathroom Coverings

Giovana Martino — Mon, 06 Jun 2022 05:00:00 +0000

If, on the one hand, bathrooms have a certain rigidity when we think about the layout and their spatial arrangement, it is in the floor and wall coverings that this logic is inverted. With the wide variety of models and patterns available on the market, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles are often used to give quality and identity to space. At the same time, the ease of access to ceramic and porcelain tiles, as well as their ease of installation, end up conditioning our choices, making it difficult to think of other finishing possibilities for these areas.

Ode to Nature House / Milwicz Architekci

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 09:00:00 +0000

The detached house was designed near Poznań in a quiet area surrounded by a forest. The main design aim was to create a simple longitudinal body that would separate household members from the street and open onto the garden, ensuring privacy. From the garden, there is a view of the beautiful surrounding greenery from the 22-meter string of windows. A large amount of windows also poses a challenge, which is an overheating of the building. However, in the case of this house, the deciduous trees solve this problem. In the summertime, they form a barrier to the sunlight and during winter, after losing leaves, they allow free access.
