Wojciech Kozłowski

I run Northstone Studio, a one-person practice in Warsaw working for clients across Europe and beyond. I design interiors and buildings and prepare the concepts and visualizations that show how they will look once built.

I came to design through visualization, and that changes how the work goes. Instead of describing an idea and handing you samples, I show you the finished interior or the finished building in photorealistic visualizations. Changes happen on screen, before anything is bought, demolished or ordered from a cabinetmaker.

I keep everything accurate to the centimeter, make sure the plan actually works, and make sure the materials read as real. A pretty picture with no real or technical grounding does not interest me. What interests me is how a building behaves in light and in its surroundings. My instincts run to simple, raw forms: concrete, timber and strong light.

I work alone, which means you talk to the person doing the work rather than to an account manager. On detached houses I work with a licensed architect who prepares and signs the building permit documentation under Polish law.
