Non-Commercial Cultural Hub / IPA Filip Kozarski

Grid Arthub is located in Hall 31B, a late 19th-century industrial building in the GdaÅ„sk Shipyard, a site historically associated with both shipbuilding and the Solidarity movement. The project began with an intention to preserve the hall’s layered identity while introducing a flexible contemporary program that could support the growing creative sector in GdaÅ„sk. The inspiration came from the building’s long and changing history. Over time, it served as a wood-drying plant, mess hall, boxing gym, and office space. Rather than erasing these traces, the design sought to work with them, maintaining a sense of continuity while opening the interior to new uses.

Soberrijk House / Marge architecten

High grasses, two shrubs, and an oak. Somewhere in the 1970s, a row of dilapidated workers’ houses had to be demolished here. Nothing remained of it, and nothing was put in its place. The current green seems to have originated accidentally. An accidental green area due to the absence of buildings, not laid out, not functional. Recently, the city decided to divide the park into parts again, and to complete the building block again.

Three Courtyards House / Balsa Crosetto Piazzi

The house manifests itself on the street as a long and austere brick façade, evoking the sensation of entering a courtyard. This architectural gesture creates the impression of being immersed in a larger space as if the house itself were contained within a more expansive courtyard—following a nested logic reminiscent of a matryoshka doll.

MARUS COFFEE & Coffee Academy / Atelier IN

Suzhou, as a city, has distinctive regional architectural characteristics. We abstracted three key elements from traditional garden architecture—”pavilions,” “corridors,” and “views”—and sought to combine these elements with the inherent attributes of the original building. The lower floor of the original structure contained a row of hidden columned corridors, which were downplayed in the 2012 renovation, and the facades were enclosed with glass curtain walls, thereby clearly separating the interior and exterior spaces.
