ARCHITECT BIAŁYSTOK — MICHAŁ CHWASZCZEWSKI
My name is Michał Chwaszczewski. As an architect in Białystok I design residential buildings and commercial spaces. I run an architectural practice where each project is tailored to the investor’s needs, the character of the site and applicable building regulations. Architectural design combines creativity with technical knowledge. Every commission is developed individually, with attention to the building’s function, aesthetics and formal requirements. Investors receive a design that not only looks right but also meets technical and legal standards. If you are planning to build a house or another construction project and need a specialist to prepare a professional design, architect Białystok — Michał Chwaszczewski — can guide you through the entire design process.
SINGLE-FAMILY HOME PROJECTS IN BIAŁYSTOK
One of the most frequent services in my architectural practice is house design in Białystok. A single-family home is a long-term investment, so its design should be well considered in functional, aesthetic and technical terms. When designing a house I focus on many factors that affect the comfort of future residents. The building’s appearance matters, but so do the functional layout, daylight and optimal use of the plot.
A typical house project includes:
- analysis of the building plot
- architectural concept for the building
- functional layout of rooms
- alignment with the local spatial development plan
- preparation of design documentation
A well-prepared design helps avoid many problems during construction and makes it easier to obtain a building permit.
HOW COOPERATION WITH AN ARCHITECT WORKS
Working with an architect proceeds in stages that allow a coherent design tailored to the investor’s needs. In my architectural practice in Białystok the process is transparent and structured.
Consultation and site analysis
The first step is a conversation about the planned investment. We discuss the investor’s needs, the character of the building and the possibilities offered by the plot location.
I also review planning documents such as the local spatial development plan or zoning conditions, so the design can be prepared in line with applicable regulations.
Architectural concept
Based on the information gathered, a building concept is developed. It covers the functional layout, the building volume and its architectural character.
The concept shows the overall shape of the project and allows changes to be introduced before the next stages begin.
Building design (construction project)
After the concept is approved I prepare the building design, including the detailed technical documentation required for a building permit.
The project includes among others:
- architectural drawings
- technical description of the building
- material schedules
- documentation required by the authority
Author’s supervision
During construction the architect may also provide author’s supervision so that all elements are executed in line with the design intent.
CUSTOM HOUSE DESIGN
More and more investors choose a custom house design instead of an off-the-shelf catalogue project. This allows the building to be tailored to the residents’ specific needs and the conditions of the plot. A bespoke design offers great freedom in shaping space: room layout, building size and architectural style can all be adjusted. As an architect in Białystok I help investors create a house that is functional, aesthetic and aligned with their lifestyle. A custom design also makes better use of the plot’s potential, daylight and optimal room placement.
ADAPTATION OF A READY-MADE PROJECT
Not every investor opts for a fully custom design. In many cases a good solution is to purchase a ready-made house project and adapt it to a specific plot.
Adaptation typically covers:
- adjusting the project to the plot
- compliance with the local spatial development plan
- documentation for the building permit
- functional changes where needed
As an architect I can prepare the adaptation of a catalogue project and introduce the modifications required to match the investor’s expectations.
HOW MUCH DOES A HOUSE PROJECT COST?
The cost of architectural design depends on many factors, including building size, design complexity and the scope of services.
The commission may cover only the architectural concept or full design documentation with author’s supervision during construction. For custom projects the fee is agreed individually, because each investment has different requirements and assumptions.
The best next step is to contact the practice to discuss your planned investment and obtain a preliminary quote.
WHY USE AN ARCHITECT?
Building a house or carrying out a construction project is a complex process that requires technical knowledge and familiarity with building law. Working with an architect helps avoid many design mistakes and streamlines delivery. As an architect in Białystok I support investors through the whole process — from the first building concept to documentation for the building permit. My goal is to create architectural designs that are functional, aesthetic and aligned with the investor’s needs. I treat every project individually, with attention to detail and high quality of documentation.
