DESIGN NAME:
City Rooftop
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Residential
INSPIRATION:
Polish ornamentation from interwar period.
Modern, residential buildnig with designed flat has buid in it interwar tenement house. That idea of mixing old and new architecture inspired me to create that interior. The design combine moderm elements with this typical for interiors of Warsaw from the 30s and 40s of 20 century.
The decor of the flat is complemented by art of the Polish artists from the 20 century. The classical sculpture was create by well known Polish sculpturer from 21 century.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The intention of the architect was to design a luxurious apartment for an active married couple, who normally lives in the countryside 200 km away from Warsaw, but would like to enjoy the cultural life of the capitol. The designing process was a huge pleasure - it is not often the case that an architect has a chance to work for people he understands and truly likes.
He had to find ways to make the designed space correspond to the building combining new and old architecture. It is always difficult to blend modern and historical parts of design, but searching the history of the place and looking for fitted objects that would match to the rest, made the designing process both more challenging and more interesting. As a result, the interior design of the apartment is intentionally coherent with the architecture of the entire building, constructed with great attention to historical detail.
The architect has used design elements typical for interiors of Warsaw from the XIX and XX century, combining them with the new modern ones. The decor of the flat is complemented by works of Polish artists from the XX century: Leszek Nowosielski, Jerzy Mierzejewski and Henryk Musiałowicz. The classical sculpture was made by Tomasz Górnicki, contemporary Polish sculptor.

Exploring the "City Rooftop" residential project, I find myself deeply inspired by the thoughtful blend of historic and modern elements that create a uniquely captivating living space. The design's homage to Polish ornamentation from the interwar period, skillfully integrated within a contemporary residential building, exemplifies a meticulous attention to detail and a profound respect for cultural heritage. The incorporation of art by notable Polish artists from the 20th century, alongside a classical sculpture by the renowned 21st-century sculptor Tomasz Górnicki, enriches the space with layers of historical depth and artistic expression. It is evident that the architect has undertaken a significant challenge in marrying the modern with the historical, achieving a seamless integration that speaks to both the building's architecture and its broader historical context. The bespoke elements, from furniture to stone details, all crafted with precision and care, further underscore the project's bespoke nature and the architect's commitment to excellence. This project not only serves as a luxurious urban retreat for its inhabitants but also as a testament to the enduring power of thoughtful, historically informed design. The dedication to creating a space that resonates with the architectural heritage of Warsaw, while providing a modern living experience, is truly commendable. It is a pleasure to see such dedication and creativity recognized with an A' Design Award, underscoring the project's significant contribution to the field of Interior Space and Exhibition Design. This achievement is a credit to the vision and expertise of Roland Stanczyk, whose work continues to inspire and push the boundaries of design.

The recent accolade received for the "City Rooftop" project in the Interior Space and Exhibition Design category is a testament to the innovative fusion of historical elegance and modern sensibility. The inspiration drawn from Polish ornamentation of the interwar period, seamlessly integrated into a contemporary residential setting, showcases a profound appreciation for cultural heritage while embracing the demands of modern living. The thoughtful incorporation of elements typical for Warsaw interiors from the 1930s and 40s, alongside art from Polish artists of the 20th century, enriches the space with depth and narrative. The addition of classical sculptures by a renowned Polish sculptor of the 21st century further bridges the gap between past and present, creating a living space that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also historically resonant and culturally significant. This work stands as a remarkable example of how interior design can pay homage to tradition while pushing the boundaries of innovation.
