PROJECT
DESCRIPTION : JONNA KLIMAS
Polish
architecture and design studio A+D has completed a Salon for the
fashion designer Joanna Klimas. Situated in Warsaw, Joanna Klimas
Salon is a unique place which combines inspiring sewing workshop,
shop, café, reading room and space for fashion shows (with the
possibility of arranging the catwalk). Thanks to the skillful
combination of functions, this place has its own air that reflects
the brand and creates perfect environment for hanging out among the
designer's collections.During
the adaptation of the interior, we paid attention to the unique
atmosphere of the Warsaw Muranów of the 50's. We have tried to
interfere as little as possible, respecting the historic preserved
interior details. We did not recreate historical elements, we
deliberately allowed the own history to roam making use of existing
walls and wooden floors.The
most important design decision was to create a mezzanine floor
(so-called "functional-spatial structure"). It fits snugly
along the walls. With it we gained additional space for new open
spaces. This structure is a bridge which is set for café tables and
reading. Mezzanine in the form of openwork steel structure is
highlighted with more than 120 fluorescent lights with the
possibility of regulation in six exhibition areas, so we have a full
opportunity to adapt the area under the mezzanine.This
area is the main exhibition space living room. Here daylight
penetrates filtered through a glass floor mezzanine. Staircase with
elegant design details refers to drawing and sewing scissors and they
are able to carry incredible load.
