Single-family house project on the outskirts of the city of Gdańsk. The suburban location of the building plot influenced the character of the designed house. Simple in construction, referring to the tradition of the Polish country house, using warm materials such as wood, both inside and outside. The main design constraint was the modest budget, which encouraged the search for simple, economical solutions. Therefore, part of the interior walls is made of brick without plastering, and the raw character of the reinforced concrete beams was also left exposed. The gable roof uses the simplest and most economical wooden structure – collar beams tying the rafters, so the gable wall of the house could not exceed a span of 7.20 m, while the length of the house had no limitations. The house was built on the plan of a long rectangle. The raw character of the interior is warmed by the wooden ceiling in the entrance hall and the veranda with an exit to the terrace. When designing the house, it was necessary to consider the energy efficiency of heating it. Therefore, the longest wall of the house faces south. This wall has the largest window openings. The north wall, on the other hand, has only two small windows. In the central part of the house, there is a fireplace with a system distributing warm air to the rooms on the first floor.

The ground floor is an open space – with a living area, library, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and a designated "dirty kitchen" with a pantry. This space has direct access to the garage. The first floor consists of three bedrooms, a bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a hall. The designed staircase is freestanding and made of wood. The treads are mounted on steel brackets, which are connected to two wooden support beams.
