The Warsaw headquarters of BXB Studio – the Hybrid Interior – has won the European Property Awards 2025–2026 in the category: Mixed Use Interior.
“The project is interesting because, within a single unit, we designed both a space for creative work and a private space – a micro-apartment. This project touches upon the philosophy of our studio, remote work, which we embraced even before the pandemic. This interior houses our architectural models, an original mural inspired by our House with a Cave project, which reached the finals of the World Architecture Festival, sculptures by Piotr Popiacki, and paintings by renowned artists, including Adam Patrzyk. Two of the sculptures were commissioned specifically for this space, directly referencing our creative work – the cast-iron Scorpion forms a coffee table, symbolizing our Scorpio nuclear shelters, while the Wawel Dragon sculpture not only relates to our project and the mural inside the interior but also to our origins – since we came to the capital from Kraków.” Bogusław Barnaś, BXB Studio
The International Property Award is one of the most recognized and respected global distinctions and a world-renowned mark of quality. The International Property Awards were first presented in London in 1993. Since then, the competition has steadily grown in popularity and prestige, achieving international reach and attracting architectural studios from more and more countries. Over time, the prestigious awards began to be granted by world regions – in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
The official gala and presentation of the winners will take place on 23 October 2025 in London.
The Hybrid Interior of BXB Studio is both an open creative workshop and a private micro-apartment within a single residential unit!
The Warsaw headquarters of BXB Studio was established in a modest 70 m² unit, which was redesigned into an unusual hybrid functional layout – approximately 50 m² serves as the workspace, accessible to the BXB Studio team and our clients. The remaining 20 m² accommodates a designed micro-apartment within the premises.
The history of this project dates back to 2018, when Bogusław Barnaś, founder of BXB Studio, decided to carry out an unprecedented pre-COVID transformation of a traditional office into a studio operating remotely. Our Kraków headquarters was later expanded with a new Warsaw location. New members joined our team, not only from Kraków and Warsaw but also from other regions of the country. The distributed team proved to be another advantage, making it easier for us to implement projects scattered across various parts of Poland and the world.
