Anna Maria Sokołowska
Timeless, atmospheric and refined down to the smallest detail – these are the interiors created by Anna Maria Sokołowska, an award-winning architect, who works mainly in the Tricity and Warsaw.
Premium interior designer with over 20 years of experience
Anna Maria Sokołowska is a graduate of the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at the Gdańsk University of Technology. In 2006, while still a student, she opened her own studio with the support of the Academic Business Incubators programme. Initially, she worked under the name Dragon Art, combining her own practice with gaining experience in architectural offices in the Tricity area, where she designed residential buildings for developers and detached houses, among other things. In 2016, she changed the name of her studio to its current name, Anna Maria Sokołowska Architektura Wnętrz. Today, she is one of the most recognised architects specialising in premium interiors. For the past few years, she has been sharing her knowledge with others as part of the Designer Education project.
The author of the ‘Stodolove’ project – Anna Maria Sokołowska Architektura Wnętrz
One of Anna Maria Sokołowska’s most recognisable projects is ‘Stodolove’, her own home, which she converted from a former farm building dating back to 1940. Combining the roles of architect, interior designer, construction manager, project manager, and investor required a lot of effort, but the result was well worth all the hard work. The realisation received two international awards: the Muse Design Award Silver and the A’ Design Award Bronze.
Wide horizons – inspired by local and global heritage
Anna Maria Sokołowska’s area of expertise includes timeless premium interiors. Her signature style was shaped by, among other things, her home town of Gdynia, famous for its sophisticated modernism. Among her key inspirations, the architect also mentions Bauhaus, minimalism and functionalism, as well as icons such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Norman Foster, Frank Ghery and Antonio Gaudi. Although each of these masters influenced her thinking about architecture, many years of practice allowed the architect to create her own inimitable visual language.
