The interior design of Dom pod lasem, by Joanna Kubieniec and Katarzyna Długosz of the Kubieniec Długosz studio, is a consistent continuation of the ideas developed by the Medusa Group – the creators of the building itself. It is an example in which architecture and interior design do not exist side by side, but form one coherent narrative.
What catches the eye at first glance is the juxtaposition of the raw concrete of the walls and ceilings with the terrazzo floor and the wooden panelling. The wood, also present in the oak-clad doors, brings warmth and balances out the coldness of the concrete. The doors – whether pivot, folding or sliding – are not just a functional element here. Designed as an integral part of the architectural concept, they allow the different zones of the house to open and close smoothly, giving flexibility and rhythm to the space.
The functional layout of the building set the framework for the design decisions. Every material, colour and solid was chosen with precision to emphasise the logic of the plan. The kitchen island and fireplace – black, geometric forms – act as landmarks in the open living area. Their presence does not divide the space, but rather subtly organises it, drawing boundaries between the kitchen, dining room and living room, while maintaining an impression of unity.
Lighting, both technical and decorative, was envisaged as early as the architectural design stage. As a result, the functional lighting points harmonise with the building structure, while the decorative lamps complete the interior composition, highlighting the texture of the materials and giving the space a soft feel. Equally important are the textile elements – curtains, carpets, upholstered furniture – which not only visually warm up the interior, but also improve its acoustics, making the space more welcoming and comfortable.
The entire arrangement is based on harmony and coherence. Natural materials, simplicity of form, refined detail – these are the investors’ guidelines, which were translated into the language of the interior with exceptional consistency. The end result is a space that impresses with its balance between austerity and cosiness, between architectural discipline and homely warmth.
The house under the forest is therefore not just a building – it is a thoughtful composition in which architecture and interior engage in a dialogue with each other, creating a coherent story of simplicity, material and space.
