The architect Grzegorz Pniok took care of its new interior. The flat is located in a tenement from 1929 on Okrąg Street in Warsaw. It is a place with a rich history, as wealthy employees of the Bank of Poland lived there before the war. Now the interior of the premises has been given a new look.
The tenement house on Okrąg Street was used by the insurgents during World War II, who turned it into a fortress. The building was damaged. After the war, part of the tenement house was rebuilt so that it could once again be used for residential purposes.
On entering the premises, what strikes the eye is a long, slightly curved corridor. It is crowned by a wall of translucent glass. This part of the flat is decorated with carefully selected furniture. Here you will find a floor-standing mirror designed by the architect, a console and a 101 Copenhagen seat. It is a peculiar triptych of design. Elements of steel joinery in black give the interior an elegant touch.
The journey continues. Behind the glass wall is the bathroom. In it, the architect has placed a dark green free-standing bathtub, right next to a free-standing washbasin and a Flaminia toilet. The floor, meanwhile, is decorated with oak parquet, which has been set against a marble mosaic.
The entrance to the living area is highlighted by two classic portals finished in black oak. The room is the heart of the flat, with three zones connecting here. The skilfully designed space made it possible to separate the kitchen area, the dining area and the living room. They all look cohesive.
The effect was achieved thanks to the chosen furniture. Kitchen units by Boffi delicately separate the kitchen area, crowned by a shelf made of American walnut and a large painting by Tomasz Opaliński. Further on we find a solid piece of furniture – a large table by Ton with Roll&Roll chairs. Above it, the Aromas chandelier with black marble lampshades proudly marks its presence.
The right mood in the interior is created by such elements as the fireplace portal for candles made of natural quartzite or the bar made of American walnut, which was handmade by a friendly carpenter.
Between the living room and dining area there is a chaise longue designed by me with walnut elements and striped upholstery,” recalls Grzegorz Pniok, the author of the interior design of the Warsaw townhouse.
Finally, there is the bedroom. Here, the largest piece of furniture is the beige Slight NAP upholstered bed. In order to ensure an appropriate arrangement, the architect reached for vintage-style wall lamps and a Hermes scarf. The latter was suspended over the bed. Interestingly, there are more such scarves in the interior.
