About us
(proun. yeah you! studio)
We are a young architecture practice based in Poland, directed by co-founders and lead architects Iwo Borkowicz and Adam Siemaszkiewicz. Office ambition is to convey contemporary space understanding within forms found somewhere between classical beauty and mundane awkwardness. We are fascinated by peculiar forms made with simple lines, raw materials and honest detailing. Can a building tell a joke? A logic is our guide, intuition is the weapon of choice. We like collaborations. We do care.
