Glass factory

Cracow, Poland

About the project

The project is a response to the presented task of designing a plant for the production and assembly of glass building components in Cracow. The idea behind the project was to create a production plant in the understanding of a small factory involved in both staining glass, toughening glass sheets, and assembling elements of glazed sets for the needs of construction.
The intention was to design a background architecture of the highest possible standard. The aim was to design buildings with a simple, clean form that could co-exist in a most naïve way with the surroundings. The user of the object does not feel overwhelmed by the weight of the structure, architecture does not stand in the foreground, does not cry out, and does not demand attention.
White walls and rhythmic vertical elements interact with transparent facades. The whole creates an impression of lightness. Mutual relations of elements give the whole of finesse and plasticity, make the façade delicate and free.
