Introducing Anna Maria Sokolowska Interior Design’s latest project, “The Architect’s Private House“. Located in Rumia, Poland, this conversion and extension of a farm building from 1940 is an oasis of peace and tranquility, surrounded by greenery and old fruit trees.
Anna Maria designed the interiors to be simple, minimalist and yet give a sense of warmth and a calming feeling. Natural wood repainted white and green colour accents make the property more appealing. The interior features a reinforced concrete ceiling, natural oak wood on the floor, open prefabricated truss in the upstairs bedrooms, and a combination of white, grey, black and natural oak wood. Additionally, the house has an open area with a seating area, dining area and open kitchen, a pantry, a utility locker, and a staircase with double the height. The bedroom has a continental bed, suspended bedside tables, wardrobe with two colour finishes, and an internal private bathroom with a bath and two sinks. This project was a challenge by itself, but Anna Maria managed it as an architect, investor, manager and interior designer.

As exciting as it can be to embark on a major home renovation, it’s important to take the time to properly prepare for such an undertaking. Without allowing yourself enough prep time and adequate research into your project, you risk running into costly problems later down the road. Here are the things you need to do.
The decision to renovate your home is pro-environment. Instead of constructing a new home, homeowners can reuse materials already present in their homes. A recent study found that buildings consume 40% of global materials and energy. Remodeling with sustainability in mind can help conserve natural materials and energy. This explains why most developers and cash homebuyers, such as webuyhouses4cash.com, prefer renovating old homes to constructing new ones.
