In the Wilda Park development in Poznań, an interior was created that gradually acquired character over five years. It is a private flat of the author of the project Marta Wiewiór from NAM Studio – a space which, instead of being ready “right away”, matured together with the household members. The result? An authentic, minimalist home where the most important elements are light, natural materials and simplicity that does not yield to the passage of time.
A home that lives with light
One of the key considerations was the south-western exposure. After years of living in a darker flat, the owner opted for an interior that responds to the changing light throughout the day.
It is the light that builds the daily scenery here – it highlights the textures of the wood, changes the tone of the beige textiles, reflects off the marble. As a result, the space is dynamic, but at the same time extremely calm.
Minimalism without the cold: light wood, stain and grey marble
The house in Wilda is an example of how natural materials can build a timeless interior. The design is based on a few consistently applied elements:
- light wood, which warms up the space,
- stained wood, adding contrast,
- grey marble, which brings elegance and a touch of stone,
- beige fabrics as a backdrop for more colourful accents.
The materials were chosen so that they would only gain with time – and indeed they did. The interior does not grow old, but gains in nobility.
Functionality and order as the foundation of design
The owner and her partner value order, so storage solutions were a key focus of the project. The cabinets were designed so that they do not dominate, but melt into the space.
As a result, the flat remains minimalist and light, yet fully functional on a day-to-day basis.
An interior that doesn’t have to be cluttered
Five years after creating the design and three years after moving in, the owner admits that she would design the space differently today – bolder, with a greater awareness of the knowledge gained.
At the same time, it was this flat that taught her that a well-designed home does not need excess.
All it needs is a few real materials, cleverly planned function and light that gives rhythm to everyday life.
A Poznan interior full of calm
The flat in the Wilda is an example of a project that – instead of being imposed from above – allowed its inhabitants to grow up and change with it. It is a home where one can breathe, relax and simply be ‘at home’.
