Founder of KUCZIA Architect studio, specializing in designing buildings that combine functionality with a sustainable approach to ecology and energy efficiency. His projects stand out for their attention to detail, as well as the needs and preferences of the users, with a focus on creating spaces that are both comfortable and individually tailored to the residents’ lives. As an architect, Kuczia emphasizes that the key element in design is the human being and their relationship with space. His goal is to create unique, functional, and aesthetic buildings that harmonize with their surroundings and the spirit of the place.
“Simplicity and honesty in architecture are fundamental parameters for me in design. My projects are always a response to the existing conditions and environment, and, most importantly, to the people who will inhabit them. I’m not interested in styles, trends, or fashions. I’m also not interested in established conventions, repetition, or imitation. I always strive for the most cost-effective version of solutions – believing that, just like in nature, it generates the greatest beauty. Everything starts from scratch and is not a designer’s idea, but a design process, a journey towards an optimal result in a given, unique situation. Only from this arises the form – my task is to ensure it has beauty within it – but that is a final task, a result of the process.”
