Based in the western Polish city of Wroclaw, KameleonLab, established in 2007, is the brainchild of co-founders Kuba Wozniczka and Rafal Specylak. Staying true to its name, this young firm adopts a tailor-made approach to every new project. 'Context - physical and otherwise - plays a key role in the design process,' say the architects. Their award-winning work includes the minimal Black Cube House, located in Wroclaw, and the imaginative, timber-clad Tetris House in the small town of Bukowno. More residential and public commissions are in the works. KameleonLab aims to remain small, but perhaps work internationally in a few years. 'For us, great examples are Peter Zumthor and many Japanese architects, who have proved that with small but devoted teams of professionals you can design amazing buildings,' say the pair.
