University Building in Warsaw

The design concept for this project is a contemporary architectural intervention within the historic campus of the University of Warsaw, a site defined by its rich heritage and diverse architectural forms. The project merges tradition and modernity, reinterpreting the historic entrance portico as a luminous atrium that becomes the building's main public threshold.

The urban strategy focuses on creating an open and accessible courtyard, enhanced with vegetation. The plaza's paving extends into the building, while the fully glazed south façade acts as a transparent boundary between the public space and the interior program. New ramps and circulation routes ensure full accessibility throughout the complex.

The interior is conceived as a fluid and interconnected space, with open-plan offices, natural light provided by skylights, and minimal partitions. The basement level houses flexible, multifunctional rooms and technical spaces. The palette of materials - light surfaces, wooden floors and a decorative finish on the facade - reinforces the serene and timeless character of the architecture.
