052H -mini boat with harobur for the city of bydgoszcz / 2014 bechelors diploma project
A small shuttle with electric drive designed for water recreation on the inner city stretch of Brda River. The project intention was to provide an alternative to the currently available public transportation that could also serve as of form of the tourist attraction. The shuttle was designed to move at walking speed. The boat size is relatively small, not to hinder manoeuvres it can take up to 5 passengers. The interior of the boat was designed to provide flexibility of use. Shuttles will be used on a relatively short distances, therefore I decided to use foldable seats. An important aspect of the design was to ensure the user safety.

052H -mini boat with harbour for the city of bydgoszcz / 2014 bechelors diploma project

The primary use of the building is to serve as a place to rent boats. The building includes also a small dining area. Also is an ideal place to conduct courses on the water. The pier is mounted on steel pontoons filled with polystyrene foam (14.2 x2, 8 m.) The structure, like boats, is made from aluminium profiles covered with trapezoidal sheet. The pier is fully removable after the season (May-September). This also provides a flexibility of use, as the pier might be moved to another part of the town. Pier shaped in a way that facilitates parking floating object. It is also allows charging the unit.

passenger vessel - student internship/ 2012

The vessel was designed for sightseeing cruises on the river or as an alternative transport for commuters. This intended use determined the seats number similar to the bus capacity. Another requirement of the project was to design very convenient water bus, with silent propulsion, good manoeuvrability and reduced vibrations for passengers convenience. Huge front panoramic window gives an opportunity to see the landscape of the city from inside the passengers cabin. Moreover passengers cabin arrangement enables two handicapped voyage and getting around.

Retirement Home
Bechelors diploma project/ 2013
Project for the retirement home located in Gdask on Subisawa Street. The concept is to create a place to integrate the elderly, prevent their loneliness and provide assistance in everyday life. The building was designed to blend into the surrounding existing architecture. The three segments of the building are connected with the communicating core which serves as an axis for the structure. Thanks to this design segments appear virtually independent and seamlessly integrate into the surrounding green area.
