We design interiors for homes and apartments where timeless aesthetics meet precise functionality. Every project is led personally — from the first conversation to the complete set of technical drawings ready for construction.
Graduate of the Faculty of Architecture at Kraków University of Technology and FHS Cottbus. Founder of ArtCore Design, an interior architecture studio specialising in premium homes and apartments in Poland and internationally.
The studio works with a select group of clients at any given time — allowing full attention and methodical care at every stage, from initial concept through to complete executive documentation.
To receive a proposal and individual quote, please send us basic information about your property — the floor area, location and the scope of work you have in mind. All correspondence is handled in English.
An interior architect shapes the way people experience and relate to the spaces they live in. The work goes far beyond selecting furniture or finishes — it encompasses the full spatial design process: functional layout, manipulation of light, selection of quality materials, and the preparation of precise technical documentation that guides the construction team at every stage.
The result is an authored project backed by drawings and specifications that serve as a clear, unambiguous script for contractors — eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of costly mistakes during the build.

Every interior design project at ArtCore Design follows four clearly defined stages.
Brief and needs analysis — the first meeting is not a portfolio presentation. It is a conversation about how you live, what matters to you, and what you expect from your space. These observations become the foundation of everything that follows.
Spatial concept — at this stage we develop the functional layout, the aesthetic direction and the material palette. The concept is the point at which your vision begins to take concrete form.
Executive project — complete technical documentation covering all fixed elements, finishes and architectural details. The construction team can proceed without guesswork or additional on-site consultations.
Author’s supervision — an optional additional service, available both in person and remotely. It ensures the project reaches construction exactly as designed, with no detail lost in translation.
A detailed description of each stage and the principles behind our pricing can be found on our interior design offer page.
Style is a tool, not a goal. The foundation of every project remains proportion, light and the careful selection of materials. Depending on the character of the investment and the client’s sensibility, ArtCore Design works across a range of aesthetic directions:
Luxury Interiors
Premium projects — materials, proportions and detail at the highest level.
Modern Classic
Classical proportions and symmetry reinterpreted for contemporary living.
Classical Interiors
Architectural detail, noble materials and composition rooted in tradition.
Art Déco
Geometry, contrast and richness of materials — opulence held in discipline.
Glamour
Luxury expressed through texture, sheen and carefully chosen finishing detail.
Old Money
Elegance, quality of materials and no need to demonstrate status.
Questions that come up most often before starting a collaboration.
The ideal moment is when the structural drawings for a house are ready, or when an apartment has reached the developer’s shell stage. Involving an interior architect early allows us to optimise the routing of installations, plan niches and recesses, and avoid costly changes mid-construction. The earlier, the more possibilities.
No. The architect’s role is to give shape and coherence to the client’s vision — not to replace it. Every project develops through dialogue. The first meeting is a conversation about how you live and what you expect from your space, not a presentation of pre-designed options to choose from.
Yes. ArtCore Design carries out interior design projects both across Poland and internationally. Remote collaboration is a standard, well-tested part of how we work — not an exception. Thanks to precise technical documentation, the quality of the project remains consistently high regardless of where the property is located. Author’s supervision is available both in person and remotely.
We do not publish fixed rates on the English version of our site, as pricing depends on a number of factors: the floor area, the complexity of the space, the design style and the scope of documentation required. Classic, modern classic, art déco and glamour interiors involve significantly more detailed documentation than contemporary or minimalist projects, and are priced accordingly. We are happy to prepare an individual quote once we know the basic details of your property. The first consultation is always free of charge — please get in touch to discuss your project.
In Poland, neither title is legally regulated — neither interior architect nor interior designer nor decorator is a protected profession. In practice, the difference lies in education and the scope of work delivered.
Ewa Sadowska-Wicherek holds an M.Sc. in Architecture from Kraków University of Technology — a technical degree that covers structural, installation and documentation knowledge. In practice, this means a project from ArtCore Design includes not only aesthetics and furniture selection, but also wall layout drawings, electrical and plumbing schematics, custom joinery designs and complete technical documentation for construction teams.
An interior decorator typically works at the level of aesthetics — selecting furnishings, fabrics and decorative elements, without involvement in the spatial layout or building installations. Before choosing anyone to lead your project, it is worth asking about their educational background, portfolio and the documentation they actually deliver.
The executive project is a complete set of technical drawings and specifications that allows the construction team to carry out the work without guesswork or additional on-site consultations. A typical documentation package includes:
— floor plans with functional layout and dimensions of all fixed elements
— wall elevations for every room
— detailed drawings of bathrooms and kitchens including tile layouts, sanitaryware and fixtures
— custom furniture and joinery designs
— electrical schematics — sockets, switches, lighting points
— plumbing schematics — supply and drainage connections
— full material and product specifications including manufacturer references and product codes
Precise documentation reduces on-site errors, minimises calls from the construction team, and allows contractors to be held accountable to specific, written requirements — not vague verbal agreements.
