This renovation project reimagines a 60-square-meter apartment by maximizing visual and spatial fluidity while carefully designing light and shadow to enhance depth, openness, and a three-dimensional spatial experience. Despite its compact footprint, the apartment unfolds with a richness of perception and movement, orchestrated through shifting sightlines, varied floor levels, and nuanced material transitions. The generous ceiling height and a private roof terrace serve as key spatial assets, enabling a layout that encourages both fluid circulation and moments of calm, shared intimacy.

Creating development near the shoreline is a particularly difficult and responsible task. Pressure from investors, for whom a large and distinctive building is to their liking, not infrequently results in oversized buildings. In the case of Apartamenty Bałtycki, the overriding goal of the project was to dialogue with both the architecture of the characteristic pre-war villas of Swinoujscie and the landscape of the coastal dune where the development was located.

ISALAB is an engineering school focused on the construction and building sectors, in addition to the Montaury campus in Anglet, South-West France. The school's three volumes are arranged from west to east along the eastern edge of the site, opening onto a square and garden designed as a clearing in the Montaury forest.

Appearance, construction and performance should go hand in hand. This forest retreat was designed to maintain a cool indoor temperature during the hot Japanese summers.
