Studio de.Materia

The completed works of Adam Wysocki’s Studio de Materia, founded in Poznań in 2013, include local project House JRv2 (pictured), a timber and concrete box partly submerged into a sloping site set in leafy parkland. The plan is responsive to the topography of the landscape, and the result is clean, neat and modern. studiodemateria.com
