Hello!
Thank you for your interest in my portfolio. I’m assuming that you already went
through my astonishing CV that contains all relevant technical information, so here
I will try to focus on the interesting bits left out. This portfolio contains a presentation
of my work and skills from the past few years. I hope you will enjoy going through it.
For your convenience I have divided my work into a few parts, each of them showing a
distinct set of skills, knowledge and software expertise:
1. Villa in Dubai (REVIT). 3
2. Fit out work (Autocad) 6
3. Interior design (3d Studio Max, Photoshop) 9
4. Exhibition stands (Sketch up) 11
5. Centre of Architecture (Autocad, Sketch up) 12
6. Sports hall (Autocad, Sketch up) 17
7. Drawings and sketches 21

VILLA PROJECT IN DUBAI
This is a concept for a 800 sqm villa design for a
private client in Dubai. On the ground floor there is
a kitchen, a living room, a garage and a guest room
with bathroom. On the first floor there are three
bedrooms plus one master bedroom and a laun-
dry room. Each bedroom has a fine bathroom
and a wardrobe. Architecture was designed in
modern style, with a great balance between func-
tion and form. I made sure that interiors have
enough light, but I also created a lot of sheds to pro-
tect the house from overheating and make it more
economical. Communication areas are brought
down to a minimum making movement between
spaces very easy and fluent. In the area there is
also a service block and a swimming pool. 2D con-
cept was created in Autodesk Autocad. 3D shape,
plans, elevations and sections were made in Revit.

MY REVISION
Majority of the projects that I’ve been working on for the past few months were fit out projects for villas, offices, factories, hotels etc. Projects include convert-
ing villas to commercial function, addition of an office area, changing function of an existing space and simple decor design. In each of these projects
I was handling Civil Defence, drainage, food control and calculation of (parking, office area) layouts. Working process had two parts:
1. Creating a design according to client needs and preferences through architectural knowledge and experience.
2. Preparing full sets of layouts necessary for a submission to Dubai Municipality and getting an approval though process of online application and dis-
cussions with engineers working in municipality. I also had to visit municipality centers often.

This is a concept for interior design in
Majlis in a palace in Qatar. It is mod-
ern style with elements of Arabic
architecture and patterns. It was import-
ant here to reach photorealistic effect on
rendering, to make the client understand the
scale and materials that were chosen for the
project.Istartedthedesignwithhand sketch-

EXHIBITON STANDS
Dubai is the world’s business center and it hosts
a lot of great international exhibitions. Good
design of exhibition stands can be crucial for
well-being of certain companies, which gives
designers a lot of opportunities. Since I arrived
in Dubai I’ve had the opportunity to work on
exhibition stands for different clients and events.

The beginning of this project took place during my Erasmus student exchange program in Istanbul, where
I had the opportunity to learn different points of view for architecture design. Project area is located in
Istanbul close to the famous Taksim square. The biggest challenges in this project for me were a difference
in ground level that created many technical problems and a strong cultural and social context that needed
to be accounted for. The subject of this project is “architecture center”. It is designed to contain exhibitions,
educational centers, offices and services. The point was to introduce architecture as a subject for average
people and create a place that could be a meeting and discussion point for architects and urbanites. During
the conception process, I made it a point to respond to the biggest problems in this area which are overpop-
ulation, lack of recreation space, lack of green and open spaces. An important fact was that the west eleva-
tion of the area is open for a great view of the city and the sea. During designing process I used the positive
traits of the area and dealt with the negatives in order to improve quality of urban design in this district.

The point of this task was to design the sport center for a small town located on the coast in Croatia. The program of the building includes a big sport
hall, an administration hall, backstage for sportsmen, a big entrance hall, and a parking lot. My aim was to design something more than just a build-
ing, which can contain a number of people in different types of events. I wanted to create a recreation and meeting center that can work for the
whole town and also be an important point of interest to draw tourists into the region. In this way, the project would become a revitalization cen-
ter that would influence the entire population in the area. In the center, I put in many sports facilities like tennis courts, skate park and tables to play
chess. There is also a play garden for children. A sports hall was planned to fulfill expectations from organization of international competitions, but
apart from hosting professional sports events, it can also be used as a sport center for amateurs who desire self-improvement. Visually the building is
quite modern, keeping to geometric shapes. Each functional part of the building has its own figure in composition. Structure is monumental enough
to grab people’s attention and make a statement of its function, but not too monumental or shiny to dominate the landscape of the historic town.

Free hand drawing skills are largely underappreciated in current day architecture. However Cracow
University of Science, from which I graduated, is still putting a great importance to this skill. While pre-
paring for a practical drawing exam I mastered the technic of perspectives and visual effect. I’m present-
ing here a selection of drawings for architecture studies. Most of them are fictional in nature. They were
made with pencil on a 70x50cm paper sheet with exception of the pictures on the last page.
FREE HAND DRAWING
In this last part I put few pictures of sketches that were made in A5 format, with a pen. They were cre-
ated by me during my travels around Europe. This technique is less precise but provides a possibility
of creating valuable visual presentation at very short notice. Time I took for each of those sketches is
around 15 minutes. It’s very useful in the designing process.
