Kaol Pasternak, Piotr Maciaszek, and Mateusz Jaworski from NOKE Architects created the House of Color which is located only a few train stops outside of Poland's Warsaw. The cozy cottage is nestled in lush gardens for a family looking to optimize their land. It is for a talented couple, Magda Grabowska-Waclawek (Bovska) and Grzegorz Waclawek.
NOKE Architects' Karol Pasternak explains “Not far from here, in Berlin, the frenzy for allotments has been going on for a decade. After all, it’s the simplest way to have your own little garden, green space, silence, and also grow your own flowers, vegetables, or fruits. And all of this is close to home, not somewhere at the edges of civilization."
