The Essence of Żoliborz
About the project
Modernism and nature. Żoliborz.
Gdańska 5 consists of two buildings inspired by pre-war Żoliborz, where architecture was designed from the very beginning with comfortable living in mind. A meticulously detailed façade, carefully planned glazing and balanced proportions create a contemporary interpretation of this heritage.
Gdańska 5 focuses on what matters most in modernism: light, nature and calm. Large windows, greenery outside and only 44 apartments form an intimate, well-thought-out whole.

A project in dialogue with Żoliborz
Gdańska 5 answers the question of how to build in Żoliborz today with due respect for its spirit. The project deliberately refers to the character of the district and its architectural identity.
The horizontal lines of the façade, the softly shaped body of the building and natural stone refer to pre-war architecture. As a result, the buildings enter into a dialogue with their surroundings, fit into the district and respect its heritage.
Location
The heart of Żoliborz
Żoliborz has always attracted people who value peace, greenery and well-ordered space but do not want to give up an urban lifestyle. It is a district that has kept its scale and character despite being so close to the city centre.

History
A district with character
Żoliborz was born from the conviction that architecture should serve people. The new district grew up in the 1920s on the site of the former forts of the Russian citadel, and its shape was the result of deliberate choices.
In 1927, the Warsaw Housing Cooperative invited young architects to work with it, looking for a model apartment. Stanisław Brukalski and Bruno Zborowski answered the call – the creators of housing estates that still define the character of the district today.
The historicist style gave way to modernism, and Żoliborz became associated with modernity and the idea of progress. This heritage has not been forgotten. Gdańska 5 draws on the same philosophy: thoughtful form, respect for the surroundings and architecture that serves life.
