The building is characterized by a humble approach to its neighborhood. Erected amidst the historic fabric of Gdańsk-Oliwa, it borders several streets, each possessing its own unique atmosphere.
Its architecture features references to both the character of the metropolitan Grunwaldzka Avenue, lined with tenement houses, and Poczty Gdańskiej Street, which evokes the mood of a suburban resort with its mature trees and urban villas stretching along it.
The new facility features an intimate courtyard—an open space facing several directions onto unique pockets between the existing buildings.
The volume has been divided into several parts, thus referencing the rhythm and scale of the historic plot divisions discernible in the surroundings. While the façade adjacent to Grunwaldzka Avenue features pitched roofs and classical rhythms typical of metropolitan tenements, deep within Poczty Gdańskiej and Majkowskiego streets, fragments of the elevation allude to the wooden bay windows and verandas characteristic of the intimate historic buildings found here.
To achieve a diverse architecture, the elevations were designed using several materials—ranging from limestone slabs and fine smooth plaster with mica additives to ceramic roof tiles. The building's elevations, maintained in a historicist style, contrast with the thoroughly contemporary character of the publicly accessible internal courtyard.
