A building that has been abandoned for more than a dozen years, located at 6A Grzybowska Street in Warsaw, will undergo a major metamorphosis. Developer Archicom, as part of its exclusive Archicom Collection line, plans to transform it into a modern apartment building called Flare. The development is to combine unique architecture with a prestigious location and high-quality finishes, including artworks by well-known artists.
Archicom, as the new owner and investor, has taken on the task of redeveloping and modernising the existing structure, which has been haunting the centre of the capital for many years. According to the plans, the building will get a completely new façade, designed by studio BJK Architekci. The façade is to be made of elegant terrazzo panels in warm tones, while large windows will ensure optimal interior lighting. In addition, the design includes terraces and loggias. Flare will be a 15-storey building offering 76 flats of varying sizes, from 30 to 190 sqm. There will also be exclusive penthouses with extensive terraces.
One of the key assets of the investment is its location – just 700 metres from the Palace of Culture and Science, in close proximity to the capital’s important business and cultural centres. As Dawid Wrona, Chief Operating Officer at Archicom, emphasises, Flare is intended to be a proposal for customers looking for unique properties of high standard and investment potential. All flats will be delivered to a fully finished standard. The interior design will be carried out by KUOO TAMIZO Architects, offering purchasers three finishing styles with the possibility of personalisation.
The common areas of the apartment building are also expected to be of a high standard and will be enhanced with artwork. A sculpture by Dutch artist Pieter Obels and etchings by Anish Kapoor are planned to be installed in the reception area. The presence of the artworks is expected not only to enhance the aesthetic value of the investment, but also to increase its capital value. Dawid Wrona adds that art is an integral part of the Archicom Collection concept, enriching the residents’ experience and highlighting the uniqueness of the surroundings. The Obels sculpture in the entrance area is intended to symbolise permanence and change, alluding to the historical function of the site, where a metal products warehouse was located before the war. In addition, the flats at Flare will be equipped with a smart home system, enabling remote and voice control of various functions. Residents will have access to a mobile app to open doors and gates and summon the lift. The building’s surroundings will be landscaped with greenery and there will be two retail units on the ground floor.

Construction work is already underway. The Flare development at Grzybowska Street promises to be a significant project on the map of Warsaw’s premium real estate. The transformation of an existing, disused building into a modern apartment building with high-quality finishes and works of art can contribute to the revitalisation of this part of the city and offer a unique proposition for demanding clients.
