Pracownia is a story about holistic design, where a relationship between the user’s needs and matter - both existing and conceived - forms a multi-layered spatial experience. It integrates local culture, nature, craftsmanship, and modern manufacturing methods. The space is shaped by overlapping volumes and their dialogue with the surroundings. Details, materials, and bespoke solutions achieve a quiet elegance, creating a balanced relationship between architecture and interior. Pracownia, designed for OMNI KAISER Patisserie, becomes a creative reflection of the people who initiated and created it as well as those who are going to use it in the future.

The client's expectation was to integrate the new programme, including offices, meeting and conference rooms, into the existing facility to emphasise the synergy between the production and the administrative and marketing departments. The proposal represents a dialogue between layout efficiency within the constraints of an existing structure and forward-looking evolution of the space. The key functions, such as the offices, reception, and social amenities, were located in the available volume on the first floor. The vertical communication, director's office, and conference room were moved outside the envelope of the original building, creating a glass pavilion at the front of the building.

Space is shaped by solid forms and surfaces, sculpted from a palette of natural materials, including wood and stone. Their textures harmonise with the allure of natural fabrics, woven carpets, and glass details. The object consists of interwoven volumes, fostering interaction between the users. Such a strategy enabled the blurring of the boundary between the exterior and the interior, making the building a reflection of its context and purpose.

Nature plays a significant role in this design. Large windows and the rhythmic flow of stone slabs extending from the interior to the garden give a real sense of connection with the context. The vegetation is also introduced to the upper floor in the form of a large planter. The lush greenery of the plants is enhanced by a skylight located directly above.
The strategy for energy efficiency includes the use of photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, and repurposing heat from production. Local sourcing of materials and adaptable layouts further highlight environmental consciousness. Through these solutions, the project provides a dynamic, inspiring space that aligns with the brand's vision and addresses functional and ecological demands.
