I am a recent architecture degree gratuate with a great passion for design, graphics and history of architecture. These interests let me approach architecture with artistic outlook, attention to detail and composition.
I chose heritage protection as my specialization during master’s studies. This way, I had not only tried designing in historical context, but also studied techniques for restoration in conservation.
During my studies, I took part in various extracurricular initiatives. One of the most enriching experiences was my Erasmus+ exchange at RWTH Aachen University in Germany.
Since last year, I organized extracurricular lectures on architecture and design as part of a student research group. Additionally, I am a member of the university radio team, where I am responsible for creating promotional materials.

ADAPTIVE REUSE OF „HUTMEN” PRODUCTION HALL
Wroclaw, Poland
Masters Diploma Project 2024
Wroclaw University of Technology
Individual project
Archicad, Adobe Illustrator
Adaptive reuse in postindustrial context, cultural center, late modernism heritage
The diploma project focuses on the adaptive reuse of the Hutmen main hall, built in 1971, a notable example of late modernist industrial architecture.
The core aim of the project was to emphasize wthe value of post-war modernist structures, advocating for their preservation while reimagining their function in a contemporary urban context. The thesis explores the architectural and cultural heritage of this period, proposing the transformation of the hall into a multifunctional cultural center. This new role would not only provide a diverse program appealing to a wide range of citizens but also contribute to the cultural vibrancy of the city.
PRZEKRÓJ BB , SKALA 1:250
The project highlights the potential of such adaptive reuse to reshape public perception of modernist architecture, integrating it more meaningfully into the urban fabric and local community life.

Existing structure with great historical and architectural value, that needs to be repurposed
The sawtooth roof serves as the key element defining the rhythm of the facade.
Empty hall divided into two naves - the vast space allows light to interact with the raw, minimalist structure.
Functional idea is defined by structural modules. The form of the building dictates a linear functional layout. Cultural spaces are intersected by greenery Adding lightweight cubes for new functions. The modules are heated, ensuring comfortable conditions for work and permanent residence.
The revitalization of the forecourt and the introduction of greenery to soften the strongly industrial and technical form.

RESTORATION OF MAUSOLEUM IN WALBRZYCH
Walbrzych, Poland
Course project 2024
Wroclaw University of Technology
Adaptive reuse, conservation and inventory
Individual project
Archicad, SketchUp, Adobe Photoshop
Adaptive reuse, working with historical context, renovation and conservation
The primary goal of the mausoleum’s revitalization was to give it a new function and change its social perception. This is especially important given its controversial history the building was erected in 1933 for propaganda purposes and, due to this legacy, is now abandoned and fails to attract interest from local authorities or residents.
The proposed function emphasizes the building’s landscape qualities, as it is located on a hill within walking distance from the Wałbrzych market square. Given the mausoleum’s history, the interior is proposed as an exhibition space dedicated to the history of the Recovered Territories and post-war Wałbrzych.
The monumental structure creates a unique contrast with the surrounding greenery, and the original parade ground forms a forecourt that showcases the building. To highlight this aspect and to reframe the mausoleum’s historical context, a viewing ramp has been designed to encircle the existing structure.

Apartment building design, landscape and greenery design, sustainable housing
The competition involved designing a residential quarter along with the development of commonl spaces for residents, located next to the emerging „Park Paderborn.”
The project includes a concept for perimeter residential development, which allows for the creation of a friendly, semiprivate space within the quarter. The site layout is formally integrated with the adjacent park area, offering recreational zones, a playground, and garden areas near the apartments. The functional program provides a variety of apartments, with a particular focus on layouts suited for families.

Housing design in historical context
Individual project

Desiging in urban context, analysing historical structure, community solutions in the city
The project centers on the design of a residential building along with the development of a city block situated within the historic urban fabric. The plot’s location on one of the main arteries of the city played a crucial role in shaping both the functional program and the aesthetic approach.
The analysis to aligning the new structure with the existing urban context, ensuring that the building complements the surrounding environment in terms of form and function.

SUSTAINABLE PAVILION
BY MONASTERY
Hoogcruts, Netherlands
Course project during Erasmus exchange 2022
RWTH Aachen
Team: Marlon Brownsword, Maximilian Reuter
Revit, Adobe Photoshop, SketchUp
Sustainable building, material research, alternative materials, community design in historical context
The Hoogcruts Monastery, located in the Netherlands, serves as a site for experimental exploration of alternative materials following its initial restoration.
The project combines clay wall technology with an outer bamboo framework, which is not only versatile in structural applications but also utilizes bamboo - the fastest growing plant on Earth. To build sustainably, it is essential to explore bamboo’s unique material properties and integrate it into our architectural practices.
The design focuses on sliding walls and adaptable spaces that can be adjusted for various activities. To achieve this flexibility, a suitable column system was designed and reinforced with authentic bamboo construction joints. The entire structure is roofed with textile membranes supported by a bamboo tension system that ensures stability.
The project’s final phase involved constructing a 1:10 scale model of the pavilion to test materials and refine each structural detail.
I was one of the organisators and presenters of monthly open lectures organised by Architecture Faculty.
The aim was to learn and disscuss about architecture from different points of view in a more casual atmosphere - meeting outside of university helped encouraging people to ask questions.
Our guests were artists, awarded architects, historians, writers etc. which showed in how many contexts architecture becomes a crucial topic for disscution.

By participating in the ProtoLAB workshops, we had the opportunity to design and then build small architectural prototypes. Each project was connected to an external urban or charitable initiative.

IDEA
IDEA
The workshop’s aim was to design a floating cafe, set upon platforms for a foundation dedicated to students exploring boat building and related technologies. The pavilion’s structure is intentionally simple and lightweight, designed to preserve the unobstructed view of the far shore of the lake. Its form is broken up by horizontal elements at varying heights, creating spaces for seating and relaxation. These minimalist lines subtly echo the horizontal nature of the surroundings—the calm surface of the water, the distant horizon, and the shoreline—blurring the boundaries between architecture and nature.

MATERIALS
In an international group, we designed a floating café as one of the attractions for the city port. Our main idea was to create a light and multifunctional space. Thanks to working with tutors, we were able to not only understand the principles of constructing building details but also gain practical knowledge on how to design such structures.
The pavilion is crafted from delicate wooden elements, chosen for their simplicity and ease of use during student workshops, creating a sense of lightness and clarity. To further reduce its weight, metal bracing subtly reinforces the structure, while also echoing the graceful forms of boat construction, adding a refined elegance, like the artistry of fine jewelry. The roof is draped in a soft, beige waterproof material, meticulously cut and assembled into trapezoidal patterns, guiding rainwater away from the pavilion and back into the embrace of the lake.
