Inside a sunlit apartment in a historic Art Nouveau building in Sopot, Poland, designer Dorota Terlecka and her studio Biuro Kreacja have crafted a space where history and modern design quietly coexist. This interior project embraces the home's original character while introducing contemporary elements and Polish artwork that feel right at home. It's a calm, considered space where architecture, art, and personal expression come together with intention.

Every architect knows there is no project without constraints. Whether it’s a challenging site, limited budget, or complex program requirements — obstacles are the reality of construction projects. However, with experience, we learn that constraints rarely result in compromised quality. Rather, they often inspire new approaches and innovative solutions. As designers, we understand that constraints can fuel our creativity. So, let’s consider: How could the constraints of new tariffs inspire the future of American architecture? What if these tariffs don’t just increase construction costs but serve as the catalyst for a more sustainable built environment?
