Sztuka Wyboru is a cultural space located in the heart of Gdansk’s Garnizon district, developed on the site of a former Prussian garrison. The historic building, protected as a heritage site, now serves office and service functions.

From the very beginning, we were involved in designing the interiors and shaping their raw character. The café combined with a bookstore has become an iconic spot in the district – a place to enjoy coffee alongside a good book. On the upper floors, workshops, book launches, and art exhibitions are regularly held.

The comprehensive project includes the café, a bookstore with mobile furniture, an exhibition area, and shared spaces with restrooms. The design approach focused on a minimalist interpretation of the building’s original, natural fabric, while preserving its raw, authentic character.

Each project is approached individually, with meticulous attention to detail, functionality, and aesthetics. We combine the client’s needs with our expertise to create spaces that are timeless and perfectly aligned with their lifestyle.
