30 Best Architecture and Design Firms in Poland

These annual rankings were last updated on December 26, 2025. Want to see your firm on next year’s list? Continue reading for more on how you can improve your studio’s ranking.

Poland has been marked by a turbulent political, economic and social history similar to that of other Eastern European countries. The constantly shifting borders, postwar destruction and the catalytic role of the communist party played a major in shaping its identity. Emerging from the post-war ruins, Polish architecture was mainly a series of Brutalist structures, symbolizing the power and dominance of the governing totalitarian regimes.

However, after the 1950s and the country’s gradual de-Stalinization, architects were progressively crossing to the other side of the Iron Curtain, bringing new elements of modernist aesthetics. A large series of housing construction initiatives, as well as high-profile public buildings, led to the now distinctive contemporary works of Polish architects Karol Żurawski, Krzysztof Ingarden and Daniel Libeskind, which in turn pushed other contemporary firms to shift from the normative brutalist character, and enter an era of a more “sensitive” and contextual Polish architecture.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Poland based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

  • The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2025)
  • The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2025)
  • The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2025)
  • The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2025)
  • The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2025)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Poland architecture firms throughout the year.

Without further ado, here are the 30 best architecture firms in Poland:

The architectural studio TTAT was founded by architects Magdalena Tokarska and Piotr Tokarski in 2010 in Katowice. We are an office focusing on all aspects of architecture, urban planning and interior design. Our goal is to create, organize and repair space with the help of the means of expression of contemporary architecture. The diversity of the environment in which we come to design means that the most important impact on the architecture we create has the geographical, historical, cultural and spatial context.

The conceptual approach, together with a large dose of perceptiveness, the spirit of the place and the Investor’s guidelines, creates a mixture appropriate for solving design problems, which significantly affects the space we create. By getting answers to the problems of a given place, our projects are carried out consistently from the early ideological stage through construction projects to implementation. When looking for answers to the best solution, we rely on modern means of expression without fear of experimenting with materials, light or new ways of shaping space.

BUDCUD is a contemporary architecture practice led by Mateusz Adamczyk and Agata Wozniczka, it has been operating from Krakow, Poland since 2011. The office is concerned with exploring contemporary conditions through spatial design, furthering architecture’s agency and currency. The name BUDCUD is indicative of our area of expertise and our design strategy. ‘Bud’ is a prefix that was added to many construction companies’ names during the period of early Polish capitalism. While ‘bud’ is derived from the Polish word meaning ‘to build,’ ‘cud,’ on the other hand, means miracle, a wonder! The combination highlights our desire to imagine architecture as a promise of multi-threaded journeys and interactions, informal activities and unpredictable events.
