Why polish studios love designing traditional homes?
Designing in a traditional style allows studios to combine the beauty of regional architecture with modern solutions. These homes fit harmoniously into their surroundings, use natural and eco-friendly materials, and provide comfort to residents. Wood, stone, and brick give each house a unique character, while contemporary building technologies make it possible to combine classic forms with 21st-century functionality.
