"We didn't have any specific guidelines; rather, there was complete trust and a lot of fun. Since they're my friends, we understood each other very well. That creative freedom led to a complete transformation of the small apartment, which is in a modernist townhouse from the 1930s."
"It was divided into tiny little rooms, and there were piles of photocopiers, '90s-era folders and desks everywhere, and the walls were purple. Not one to disappoint clients, Marta dutifully followed their orders and did what she usually did: create flow, welcome in natural light, add classic herringbone wood floors."
"The interiors are Adolf Loos-inspired, with influences of mid-century and Warsaw modernism. The artful eat-in kitchen might be the standout. Marta designed chic cabinets, made from béton wood veneer. The flooring is oak, from Chapel Parket, typical for 1930s Polish apartments."
A designer transformed a 64-square-meter apartment in Warsaw's Powisle district, housed in a 1930s modernist townhouse. The space previously served as a newspaper office, divided into cramped rooms filled with outdated equipment and purple walls. The designer created a sophisticated one-bedroom apartment by establishing better flow, maximizing natural light, installing classic herringbone wood floors, and incorporating elevated millwork details including a signature bed nook. The interiors draw inspiration from Adolf Loos, mid-century design, and Warsaw modernism. The kitchen features béton wood veneer cabinets and oak flooring typical of 1930s Polish apartments. Throughout the space, careful attention was paid to refined details, including black Bakelite electrical fittings and brass hardware inspired by Bauhaus and modernist design principles.
