Providing comprehensive architectural services, STUDIO KONDE is a Polish design office led by Poznan-based architect Konrad Idaszewski. Established in 2004, the office works with private and business clients on individual houses and residences, multi-family residential developments, office, commercial and service buildings, as well as interiors. Projects are developed through the different stages of the investment process, from initial concepts and planning studies to building and technical documentation, detailed design and author’s supervision. The practice works primarily in Poznan and the wider Wielkopolska region, as well as on projects in other parts of Poland.

[edit] Architectural design

STUDIO KONDE provides a full range of architectural services, from initial concepts and planning studies to building permits, technical and detailed construction documentation, as well as author’s supervision and formal procedures. The practice combines architectural design with interior design, allowing the different aspects of a project to be developed as part of a coordinated process.

Konrad Idaszewski, a house architect in Poznan, specialises in the individual design of houses and residences. However, the portfolio of his architectural practice, STUDIO KONDE, is broader and also includes multi-family residential buildings, office and commercial buildings, public and religious architecture, dental clinic projects, as well as residential and commercial interiors projects. The architectural approach is generally characterised by simple forms, clear proportions, restrained material palettes and an emphasis on functional planning. Projects may incorporate contemporary technical solutions, including energy-efficient systems and passive-house principles where appropriate to the requirements of the investment.

Since 2004, the practice has completed more than 50 projects. Its work includes individual houses and residences, multi-family developments with a combined area of more than 35,000 m², office and service buildings, commercial facilities and religious architecture. STUDIO KONDE's projects have also received architectural and construction awards and have been published by Polish and international architecture and design publications.

[edit] About STUDIO KONDE

STUDIO KONDE was founded in 2004 by Konrad Idaszewski, a qualified architect and graduate of the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at Pozna University of Technology. He is a member of the Polish Chamber of Urban Planners and Architects (IARP). His professional experience includes work in architectural practices in Pozna and collaboration with the Irish practice HKR Architects. He has also been involved in architectural education at Pozna University of Technology.

Konrad Idaszewski has participated in architectural competitions and received awards for architectural and urban design. Among these is the first prize in the “wit” urban and architectural competition in Poznan, awarded by a jury including members of SARP, as well as distinctions in subsequent editions of the Mister Budownictwa Wielkopolski Poludniowej competition.

The practice's completed work includes individual houses and residences, multi-family residential developments, office and service buildings, commercial facilities and religious architecture. Projects include Panorama Park I and Panorama Park II in Koscielna Wies near Kalisz, the Panorama Park II commercial, office and service building with an area of more than 5,000 m², Sloneczne Osiedle in Ostrów Wielkopolski, and churches in Kozieglowy and Plewiska.

[edit] Individual houses and residences

A significant part of STUDIO KONDE's work consists of individual house and residence design. Projects are developed according to the characteristics of each site, including its orientation, topography, access, surrounding buildings and relationship with the garden. The architectural language often draws on modernist principles, with simple geometric forms, restrained detailing, carefully considered proportions and clearly organised interiors.

The design process begins with an analysis of the site and the client's requirements, followed by architectural concepts and visual studies. Three-dimensional models and real-time visualisations are used to examine the building's proportions, materials, openings and relationship with its surroundings before the design is developed further. Subsequent stages include building permit documentation, technical design and detailed construction documentation, providing the information required for the implementation of the building.

[edit] Multi-family residential buildings

STUDIO KONDE also designs multi-family residential developments, addressing the relationship between individual buildings, access, parking, pedestrian circulation and shared outdoor spaces. The architectural design combines functional residential layouts with coherent building forms and material solutions across the development.

Projects are developed as coordinated architectural and multidisciplinary documentation, taking into account planning requirements, technical conditions, structural solutions and the organisation of the surrounding site.

[edit] Office, service and commercial buildings

The practice's portfolio also includes office buildings, service facilities and commercial architecture. These projects require the integration of functional requirements, circulation, technical infrastructure and the specific operational needs of the client.

Architectural solutions are developed with attention to the relationship between public and service areas, employee and customer circulation, building entrances, natural lighting and the organisation of the surrounding site.

[edit] Religious architecture

STUDIO KONDE has also worked on religious architecture, including church projects. These commissions involve the organisation of spaces for worship alongside ancillary functions, circulation, natural lighting and the relationship between the building and its surroundings.

The architectural design considers both the functional requirements of the building and the character of the sacred space, with particular attention to proportion, light, materiality and the overall composition.

[edit] Residential and commercial interiors

Interior design forms another part of the practice's work, covering private houses and residences as well as office, service and commercial interiors. Designs are developed as an extension of the architectural concept, coordinating spatial organisation, materials, lighting, furniture and technical installations.

For residential interiors, the emphasis is placed on functional layouts and a coherent relationship between individual rooms and the architecture of the building. Commercial interiors, including dental clinics and offices, require additional consideration of circulation, ergonomics, technical infrastructure and the requirements of the specific type of facility.
