FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
MB: The main ideas became nature, freedom, comfort, penetration, freshness.
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
MB: I was particularly keen to achieve consistency between the design brief and the end result.
FS: What are your future plans for this award winning design?
MB: I think this award and the process of promoting it will change the perception of my projects' presence in electronic media. I intend to promote myself more than I have done so far.
FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
MB: The project lasted 12 months.
FS: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?
MB: The project was commissioned by individual clients.
FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
MB: My assignments to date have consisted of referrals of my services from satisfied clients.
FS: What made you design this particular type of work?
MB: Moje zlecenia do tej pory polegały na polecaniu moich usług przez zadowolonych klientów.
FS: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?
MB: I have carried out most of my work for individual clients in the Wielkopolska region. Work for business clients is located in most major Polish cities.
FS: Who is the target customer for his design?
MB: My clients were private investors.
FS: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?
MB: I think this project has the potential to survive fads and trends. The space has a margin which is successively filled with paintings, sculptures or prints consciously acquired by the owners.
FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
MB: I mark my projects with a combination of the investors' initials.
FS: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?
MB: I used a sketching method, drafting with Autodesk software, 3D visualisation and prototyping of detail elements and equipment.
FS: What is the most unique aspect of your design?
MB: I see this project as a compilation of individual design decisions, the implementation of which was a challenge for me as well as the contractors and craftsmen.
FS: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?
MB: The realisation was handled by professionals from the fields of engineering, construction, carpentry, lighting technology and KNX integration.
FS: What is the role of technology in this particular design?
MB: I believe that the formal elements of technology transfer were one of the pretexts for the individual design of the architecture so that the engineering side was as concealed as possible. Building lighting scenes, monitoring air circulation and sunlight through integration have become very useful and practical in this building.
FS: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?
MB: I tried to pay attention to the psychophysiological aspects of seeing space. In analysing the function of this residence, I drew on studies related to the characteristics of lighting, air exchange and the maintenance of adequate humidity and temperature.
FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
MB: The challenge is first and foremost an attempt at self-policing based on trying to answer a design question using inspiration and experience.
FS: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?
MB: Despite many completed projects, this one is my first submission to the competition. I decided to make a name for myself in international company and have my work assessed by an objective jury.
FS: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?
MB: This project has shown that challenges that reach beyond standard studies are able to motivate all actors in the process to work together towards innovative solutions.
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
