The quarter in which the flat is located is a combination of Krakow’s modernism and post-war additions in the spirit of socialist realism. The design goal, apart from adapting the apartment to the needs of future residents, was also to recreate the spirit of these styles in the interior, which have definitely been lost as a result of renovations and reconstructions over the last 50 years.

The project included a general renovation of the flat, including replacement of floors and a change of the function of the rooms. Although it was necessary to replace the joists and make new screeds, it was possible to save the original beech parquet. The project assumed to preserve as much as possible original elements of the interior, hence the decision to leave cast-iron radiators and window sills made of terrazzo

o create a more functional interior, it was decided to move the kitchen and open it to the living room, creating a spacious living area, including a place for a sitting area, a large dining table and kitchen with the island. Thanks to the addition of a small, though capacious pantry, it was possible to dispense with the upper kitchen cabinets, and hang in their place an elegant dresser from the 50’s.
