We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Maciej Basałygo about their original and creative Residential House design work. Maciej Basałygo is an award-winning architectural designer, that makes our world a better place with their original residential house works.
Maciej Basałygo ("MB") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Piren Residential House. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
MB : The main ideas became nature, freedom, comfort, penetration, freshness.
MB : I was particularly keen to achieve consistency between the design brief and the end result.
MB : I think this award and the process of promoting it will change the perception of my projects' presence in electronic media. I intend to promote myself more than I have done so far.
MB : The project lasted 12 months.
MB : The project was commissioned by individual clients.
MB : My assignments to date have consisted of referrals of my services from satisfied clients.
MB : Moje zlecenia do tej pory polegały na polecaniu moich usług przez zadowolonych klientów.
MB : I have carried out most of my work for individual clients in the Wielkopolska region. Work for business clients is located in most major Polish cities.
MB : My clients were private investors.
MB : I think this project has the potential to survive fads and trends. The space has a margin which is successively filled with paintings, sculptures or prints consciously acquired by the owners.
MB : I mark my projects with a combination of the investors' initials.
MB : I used a sketching method, drafting with Autodesk software, 3D visualisation and prototyping of detail elements and equipment.
MB : I see this project as a compilation of individual design decisions, the implementation of which was a challenge for me as well as the contractors and craftsmen.
MB : The realisation was handled by professionals from the fields of engineering, construction, carpentry, lighting technology and KNX integration.
MB : I believe that the formal elements of technology transfer were one of the pretexts for the individual design of the architecture so that the engineering side was as concealed as possible. Building lighting scenes, monitoring air circulation and sunlight through integration have become very useful and practical in this building.
MB : I tried to pay attention to the psychophysiological aspects of seeing space. In analysing the function of this residence, I drew on studies related to the characteristics of lighting, air exchange and the maintenance of adequate humidity and temperature.
MB : The challenge is first and foremost an attempt at self-policing based on trying to answer a design question using inspiration and experience.
MB : Despite many completed projects, this one is my first submission to the competition. I decided to make a name for myself in international company and have my work assessed by an objective jury.
MB : This project has shown that challenges that reach beyond standard studies are able to motivate all actors in the process to work together towards innovative solutions.
