World Architecture Community's Award-Winning Polish Chunk House

The Polish Chunk House is located on a forest plot and draws from it for both views and design elements. Ample windows and an open floor plan bring the outside in. Terraces, sauna and a small gym are some of the luxury amenities of the architectural design.

Materials used in the Polish Chunk House reflect the surroundings. The highly unique exterior is clad in a façade of split cordwood, thereby giving the structure its name.

Implications - Karol Szparkowski is an innovative designer who is back with more compelling work. I for one can not wait to see what Szparkowski is able to produce in the future. Chunk House is a phenomenal architectural piece that melds the best of luxury and eco-living for a creation that creates peace of mind.
