About Company

Czesław Bielecki

The key to true success is searching for beauty, for the charm the objects hold. This is the main function of architecture,this is our task as architects. An architect who is not both proud and humble enough to understand the essence of beauty and aspire to create beautiful things, should change his profession. (Czesław Bielecki, Beyond Architecture. In Praise of Eclecticism).

Czesław Bielecki was born in Warsaw in 1948, graduated from the Warsaw University of Technology (1973) and later received a Ph.D. from the Kraków University of Technology (1997). He speaks English, French and Russian and hold licences for architecture, urban and listed buildings design. Mr. Bielecki has gained professional experience in France, Israel and Germany. Additionally, he has been a visiting lecturer on architecture and urban planning in: Warsaw, Berlin, London, Montreal, Washington, Philadelphia, Moscow, Sydney, Jerusalem, Melbourne and others. Winner of numerous design competitions. The first one, while still a student, for the memorial monument of the Polish Home Army‘s Żywiciel unit cemetery.

Author of posters, logos, books, and essays. In 1977 his posters were presented at the Biennale of Dissent in Venice. One of these posters entitled “Cardiogram” is currently on display at the Berlin Wall Checkpoint Charlie Museum.

Credo

We design to build. For us architecture is the art of making design decisions to materialise the client’s dream in accordance with place, time and budget. We are at our investor’s disposal from the first conversation and concept sketches until the take over of the building.

We believe that good architecture can be created with every budget. It’s a question of the designer’s imagination and the client’s trust. What is basic for us is the adjustment of the building’s style to its purpose as well as maintaining the spirit and the uniqueness of the place. That’s why we praise eclecticism.
