Education and Research
The company focuses on the projects that:
  • in their scale, operate between urban and architectural realms
  • focus primarily on urban issues, dealing with urban fabric, its complexity and communities which inhabit and use it
  • involve actual implementation process, including project proposals and development
  • require creative problem solving through the comprehensive and holistic approaches
  • are based on cooperative work with all key stakeholders
Our work is guided by a number of principles:
  • We aim to understand the processes required to successfully solve urban challenges. If standard solutions are insufficient, we create new ones by blending academic and practical work (such as research and prototyping).
  • We place strong focus on early research and contact with all important stakeholders. It is crucial for us to understand user perspectives. That is why we engage with local community to identify its needs early and develop the solutions jointly.
  • We focus on delivering high quality solutions and supervise their implementation if possible.
Urban Design

We offer services in spatial planning and urban design, including preparation of masterplans and statutory documents. We prepare and lead public consultation events for these projects. Our expertise is based on the professional and academic experience of Lukasz Pancewicz. We offer support of qualified consultants and cooperating partners.

Urban Regeneration

We support preparation of the Community Regeneration Plans. Our expertise covers preparation of a diagnosis and identification of areas in crisis, work on integrated regeneration strategy and implementation of selected projects. Our experience is based on the cooperation with local governments in an early stage of the implementation of the Urban Regeneration Act 2016, pilot projects (Model Urban Regeneration) and collaboration with the Institute of Urban Development (IRM). In implementing regeneration projects we work in the multidisciplinary teams, including social and economic policies consultants.

Public Spaces

We work on public space projects. As designers we offer strategies for mprovement of public spaces, based on identification of user needs and implementation plans, early prototyping and testing, preparation or acquisition of the documentation and implementation. Our experience stems inter alia from the redevelopment of Długa and Długi Targ in Gdańsk as well as international design experience of Monika Arczyńska.

Pre-investment consulting

We provide comprehensive advice on programming and feasibility assessment of complex, strategic architectural projects of great importance on a district, city and regional scale. We advise on the methods of obtaining a project and its financing (architectural competitions, public tenders and others), and at the implementation stage we provide technical advice.

Participation

Our company specializes in conducting public consultations. We are a team of experts who know how important it is to understand and take into account the needs and expectations of the community. Our approach is based on dialogue with local communities, residents and interested groups. When designing, we involve residents in decision-making processes, providing them with access to information, as well as the opportunity to express their own opinion and influence the designed solutions.

Education and Research

Our company is engaged in teaching and peer training of professionals in various stages of their careers. We utilize advanced teaching techniques (life studios, urban labs, mentoring, workshops) to train. Our university tutoring is blended with our practice – studios are often utilized as a ‘workbench’ for our current projects. We have worked as tutors at the international events such as ISOCARP Young Planning Professionals workshops in Moscow, Russia and Durban, South Africa and provided advice to events such as Mentor and Student Research Lab (MSRL) as well as national workshops (Architektour, OSSA).
