Subtle Experimentation: Apartment in Warsaw by La Fala Studio.

Polish architects Agnieszka Dominik and Marlena Banaszewska have completed their first project together as La Fala Studio—a vibrant transformation nestled within a post-war tenement house in Warsaw. The 55-square-metre apartment is a thoughtful blend of open layouts, revitalised vintage elements, and a distinctive colour palette.

With close proximity to lush green spaces including the Royal Łazienki Park, Morskie Oko Park, and Promenada Park, Warsaw’s Mokotów district sets the stage for the duo’s first combined creative endeavour, turning the post-war gem into a contemporary haven.

With a thorough renovation needed, Agnieszka and Marlena took the opportunity to reimagine the space. The original closed layout was transformed into an open concept, seamlessly connecting the kitchen, dining area and living room. “As the apartment was intended for rental, the clients had no specific expectations regarding style or colour scheme,” Agnieszka and Marlena elaborate. “They granted us complete freedom in developing the project, which was incredibly inspiring for us.”

Two balconies on opposite sides of the floor became pivotal in illuminating the space with natural light and a circular wall opening was introduced in the bathroom to combat its even darker appearance.

Arches became a recurring theme, subtly woven into walls, mirrors, and even wall cladding in the kitchen and bathroom. The architects introduced built-in upper cabinets in the kitchen, finished with pink mirrors, while the bathroom was executed in a dusty yellow shade. Two-tone, long curtains complete the aesthetic, matching the blue trimming that follows onto the ceiling in the living spaces.

Signalling a penchant for subtle experimentation, La Fala Studio’s first project culminates in a space that is as functional as it is charming.
