Studio
Atelier Polus
Atelier Polus was established in 2023 by Blazej Norbert Polus. We are a young company full of passion and hope.
In our work we focus on a integral and inclusive approach to architecture. Every design starts with understanding the needs of our client, as well as the requirements of the community.
We strongly believe that sustainability is one of the greatest challenges of our times.
The title of the most progressive creators does not belong to those creating according to the classical canons, nor the futuristic formulas, but to those who after picking up the thread dropped by the Egyptian priests, by Romanesque monastery monks, by gothic cathedral masons, by Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Blondel, Corazzi, Marconi, will deeply understand the latest artistic achievements, and will produce new forms, using the possibilities of modern technology… Only architecture in this form has nowadays the right to life, but not the one, which semblances modernity, yet is full of rotted blood in it veins. And not the one which resembles classical architecture. After breaking the external modernistic decorations, a bare, gawky skeleton will remain, having nothing to do with modernity, exactly as after breaking the external baroque, or empire decorations, a bare, gawky skeleton will remain, having nothing to do with classicism.

Our philosophy
We design for people and communities
Every projects considers the needs of the client and of the community in first place. The design process is made as transparent to the involved parties as possible. We design for people and with people.
We care about details, technical solutions and materials
We believe a good design requires a deep understanding of the technical aspects. We work with details and materials from a very early stage of each project, in fact seeing it as a powerful design tool.
We believe in research
Architecture does not only mean design. In order to overcome all the challenges of our times we see every project as a opportunity to participate in a wider, ongoing discussion. We try to challenge the definitions of sustainability, possibilities of materials, and understand the influence of architecture on everyday life.
There is no ecological architecture, no intelligent architecture and no sustainable architecture – there is only good architecture.
There are always problems we must not neglect. For example, energy, resources, costs, social aspects – one must always pay attention to all these.
