Led by Piotr Hardecki, who is also a lecturer at the Faculty of Architecture at Warsaw University of Technology, the studio emphasizes clarity, functionality, and material honesty in its work.
The firm has gained recognition for projects such as the revitalisation of Podzamcze Park in Łęczna.

Podzamcze Park stands as a model of carefully planned adaptation and landscape integration.
