Located on the second floor of<br />
a 1952 building in central<br />
Warsaw, a 500-square-foot<br />
apartment occupied by Bogusz<br />
Parzyszek and his six-year-old<br />
son Bartek was gutted and<br />
renovated by architect Jolanta<br />
Janiszewska. Custom pieces<br />
that perform double duty<br />
define the streamlined interior,<br />
as well as kid-friendly details<br />
like swing seats.<br />

location<br />
Warsaw, Poland<br />
On a warm evening in downtown<br />
Warsaw, Bogusz Parzyszek, who’s just<br />
pulled down the Murphy bed from a<br />
flat panel in the wall of his small studio,<br />
jumps up on the mattress. “You’ve<br />
reminded me,” he says.<br />
He reaches above the recess of the bed,<br />
opening a cabinet door, previously flush<br />
with the wall. Out comes a stand-up<br />
oscillating fan in two pieces—first one,<br />
then the other. “I need to return this to a<br />
coworker.” It’s like a magic trick—this<br />
big fan pulled from a space that doesn’t<br />
look large enough to hold it.<br />
