Archigrest is an architecture firm based in Warsaw, Poland, founded in 2018 by Maciej Kaufman and Marcin Maraszek. Their practice encompasses a wide range of scales and typologies, from private residences and public buildings to historical structures, parks, urban complexes, and strategic master plans.
In addition to their design work, the firm engages in consulting, research, and education, participating in academic initiatives, student workshops, and projects with NGOs and local communities. Their approach is based on meticulous research and a strong focus on context and the sense of belonging to each place.
Archigrest seeks to create spaces that respond sensitively to their surroundings, enriching daily life and strengthening community ties. Their work draws inspiration from unrealised visions, stalled construction projects, and forgotten sites reclaimed by nature, exploring lasting, meaningful architectural solutions.
The studio has received numerous awards and recognitions, both professional and public, including the European Award for Best Public Space in 2024. It was also included on Architectural Digest's AD100 list in 2025, which recognises the 100 most influential designers in the world.
