Pigwy Residence Shapes a Quiet Domestic Mood Through Marble and Oak
Pigwy Residence is a house renovation in Warsaw, Poland, designed by +61studio as a refined update to an existing suburban home. Completed in 2025, the project reshapes the layout around brighter, more open daily living and a restrained contemporary interior. Pale wood floors, stone surfaces, custom furnishings, and layered lighting give the rooms a calm, polished character without losing warmth.
About Pigwy Residence
Daylight lands softly across pale herringbone floors, full-height curtains, and low, rounded furniture. The first impression is controlled but not cold. Warm cove lighting runs the room edges, and large black-framed openings keep the garden present from nearly every main living area.
Pigwy Residence is a renovated house in Warsaw, Poland, designed by +61studio for new owners with different daily needs. The work reorders the existing structure into a brighter, more open plan, then builds its character through a restrained palette of wood, stone, fabric, and carefully integrated lighting. The mood stays even. Luxury here comes less from display than from consistency.
Open the Plan
The main living floor reads as one continuous field, with sitting, dining, and kitchen zones held together by tone rather than walls. A mirrored partition at the threshold extends sightlines and catches light from the salon beyond, making the transition feel longer and lighter at once. Circulation is clear. Each zone keeps its own use, yet the rooms remain visually linked through repeated finishes and a low-contrast palette.
Layer the Light
Lighting does much of the interior work. Slim recessed fixtures wash the kitchen evenly, concealed strips lift the perimeter of the living and dining rooms, and circular ceiling pendants bring a softer outline above the seating area. Nothing feels overplayed. Instead, the layered scheme gives depth to plain surfaces and draws attention to edges, junctions, and the long drape of curtain fabric.
Repeat Soft Forms
Throughout the house, sharp geometry is moderated by rounded furniture and upholstered elements. The living room pairs curved sofas and a circular table with a spare fireplace wall; the dining area brings in an oval table and compact chairs beneath a delicate chandelier. The bedrooms continue that approach. A tall padded headboard, soft bed frames, and thick rugs keep the private rooms quiet, with custom millwork and concealed storage reducing visual noise.
Set Materials in Tone
Material contrast stays subtle and precise. Pale wood flooring runs through much of the house, beige cabinetry keeps the kitchen nearly flush with the walls, and stone appears as a calm, luminous surface rather than a dramatic accent. The bathroom makes that strategy explicit. Veined marble wraps floor and wall planes around a freestanding tub, while brushed metal fittings and concealed lighting hold the room in the same warm register as the rest of the interior.
The children’s rooms show the same discipline with a lighter touch. Play elements, soft textiles, and simple built-ins sit within the same muted range, so even the more informal rooms stay connected to the whole. Smart home systems support that order in the background. What remains in view is ease: clear rooms, controlled light, and materials that carry the renovation from one floor to the next without interruption.
