Wiślany Mokotów is a complex of multi-family residential buildings with underground garages, site development and infrastructure.
The development has the character of an optimized urban quarter functionally interacting with the surroundings. It offers residents attractive common spaces in the form of interpenetrating intimate green courtyards. The main design concept was to create simple and unobtrusive architecture that could serve as a backdrop for the planned greenery. The inspiration here was the Sady Żoliborskie estate, which, thanks to a similar philosophy, acquired a timeless character.
All the volumes are rectangular, contained within basic geometric forms (with one exception resulting from the local spatial development plan). The height of the buildings is four stories, except for the western frontage of Phase 2, where the adjacent plot has taller buildings due to planning regulations. The building heights were also differentiated by cutting off the top floor with a continuous band of terraces, visually lowering the proposed development.
The facade plane, which has its own texture resulting from the optimal layout of the apartments, is framed by a rectangular frame created by balconies and terraces on the top floor. This approach also extends to the color scheme and facade materials used. The palette consists of white and shades of gray. The whitewashed finish serves as the outer shell of the buildings, while gray clinker tiles are proposed for the internal surfaces, where there is direct contact with residents. The top floor is clearly delineated by the use of graphite plaster. Window frames are installed in gray. The white architecture of the building is intended to highlight the greenery, both in the courtyards and in the form of tree avenues along the streets or arranged by residents on balconies and loggias.
In designing the next phase of the multi-family residential complex Wiślany Mokotów which is part of a larger urban layout, we aimed to create spaces that are primarily human-friendly and intimate in character. In addition to the human scale of 4-5 stories, we designed the layout to create distinct quarters with clearly defined spaces of internal, semi-private recreational courtyards. These spaces, due to the considerable distances between buildings, are filled with sunlight, excellent lighting, and diverse greenery that complements them perfectly.
