In a world filled with stimuli, the apartment becomes an oasis of respite. Architects react to the current realities of social life, creating interiors devoid of flashy and burdensome chaos. A turn towards harmony, nature and peace does not have to mean a departure from luxury and comfort.
The currently dominant trends in interior design put people at the centre: their well-being, comfort and peace. Experienced architects, investors and art dealers know perfectly well what the preferences of clients and their needs are, and the interiors they design are a response to the signaled needs of their owners.
The interiors are filled with subdued colors, natural materials, and are dominated by minimalism and quiet luxury. Anna Branicka, an architect from the Design Anatomy architectural studio, emphasizes that clients are currently more inclined to focus on timeless, neutral solutions than current, quickly passing trends: In a world full of stimuli, we are looking for identity, roots, our private asylum. We offer our customers timeless solutions rooted in nature. The harmony of colors and materials is a proven way to create a space that supports regeneration, peace and everyday well-being. We use a palette of calm shades inspired by nature and earth colors. We give up strongly contrasting elements, we choose a subtle play of colors, textures and light. Matte finishes become a beautiful background for silky fabrics or elements with a clearer structure, such as wood or stone. We affect the senses in a delicate, nature-flowing way.
Design Anatomy, Leśna Sopot, apartment
Karolina Bernisz-Grabska from Design Anatomy has a similar opinion and emphasizes that creating a comfortable, soothing interior is also possible in relation to smaller, and thus also cozy places: We are slowly moving away from flashy trends, which, due to their distinct nature, quickly get boring. As interior users, we are tired of aggressive colors and forms. The chaos and rush of the world around us makes us look for an antidote, a shelter where we can rest and recharge our batteries, which is why we are increasingly choosing a calm, classic, timeless style at home. The interiors are smaller, but more cozy – they feature subdued colors, simple forms and noble materials.
The turn towards the quality of the interior, not its size, is also noticed by Joanna Małecka-Nowosielska, responsible for the development of the Ready Living brand in the Reapolis group: A few years ago, talks with investors revolved around “square footage” and “finishing standard”. Today, customers talk about lifestyle, emotions and the experience of everyday life. The interior cannot be accidental. It must match your personality and the rhythm of the day, make it easier to function, give you a sense of breath and security. In projects such as STO10 Chylońska, we focused on elegant, calm minimalism: bright colors, soft lighting, integrated greenery. We want the space to be both aesthetic and resistant to everyday use. Not a hotel – but a very human one. Heat. Neutral, but with character.
Therefore, these interiors do not have to be boring. An interesting proposition, going a step further in subdued design, is “color drenching”, i.e. immersing interiors in one color, which becomes the basis for all the elements that fill them – walls, ceiling, accessories and furniture: There is no monotony here – says Anna Branicka from Design Anatomy . We experiment with shades and intensity of color. Based on a single color base, we are more likely to reach for finishes with various textures, fabrics with expressive weaves, without fear of overloading even in small spaces. Such interiors are coherent, have a unique depth and have a strong impact on the senses. By using color drenching, we can afford to take more bold actions. The key is to choose a leading color that will suit the character of the user and his current needs. Delicate beiges will immerse us in peace and harmony. If we are looking for relaxation, a sense of security, relaxation and joy, green will be the perfect choice. Navy blue, on the other hand, is elegant and stabilizing, and the deep dark shade of the panty gently energizes and gives the interior an interesting, stimulating accent. We have used these 3 proposals in the OLIVIA PULSEinvestment – an apartment building being built at Olivia Centre in Gdańsk. Apartment buyers have ready-made solutions at their disposal, responding to current trends, but also allowing them to adjust the interior to their individual preferences.
Projekt Design Anatomy, Olivia Puls, salol Vital
Interior design is designed to respond to the needs of future residents, and not to fit into current trends, allowing the apartment owner to emphasize the knowledge of current fashion. As Joanna Małecka-Nowosielska emphasizes, what counts in design are emotions and human well-being: Design has taken responsibility for the well-being of the people who use the interior. The interior is to support the well-being of the residents – in everyday life, in rest, in relationships. We still like the “wow factor”, but as the icing on the cake of interiors that are comfortable, sustainable and durable for us. If we were to talk about the most important trend – we would say this: good finish = well-being. And investments such as STO10 Chylońska show that even without extravagance, it is possible to create interiors that are really valuable – visually, functionally and emotionally.
Attention to quality and class has also been applied to the boutique Leśna investment, which is already being built in Sopot. In the common areas of the estate, high-quality natural materials have been designed to ensure durability and comfort of use. The entrance areas, corridors and staircases will be filled with dark brown wooden panels, complemented by steel accents, designer lighting and artisanal details such as metal railings and wooden handrails, creating an elegant and modern space. The idea guiding us when designing the common zones was to refer to the details of the interiors of Sopot tenement houses and their implementation through the means of contemporary design – emphasizes Anna Branicka from Design Anatomy, responsible in this case for the design of the common parts of the investment. We have combined the classic with the modern, focusing on detail. The key motif is a wooden totem in the central part of the staircase, which is a contemporary interpretation of historical forms. Ceramic accents in the balustrades and handrails subtly blend in with the cladding of the door portals made of glazed tiles. We decided on hybrid floors with a layer of wood, which are durable, elegant and pleasant to look at. Delicate slats embedded in wooden cladding and steel finishes of the elevator portals have been designed individually in a unique color and form. This project is a story about the search for a relationship with the unique context of the place – adds Anna Branicka.

Comfort does not mean giving up responsibility
The second direction that is increasingly signaled by customers is ecology. The comfort of buyers is also related to responsibility for the environment and the belief that a comfortable life does not mean a negative impact on the environment. As Karolina Bernisz-Grabska notes, ecology is also related to high-quality materials: The growing environmental awareness also has a great impact on the designed interiors. We give up “disposable” materials in favor of durable and good quality ones. We also introduce technical innovations more carefully – we are not guided by a temporary fashion, but by a practical factor, thanks to which we better adapt them to our own expectations and use them longer, which also has an impact on the environment. We pay less attention to what is trendy, in favor of what we like, what we feel good in.
Reapolis customers also emphasize the importance of responsibility and ecology during their purchasing decisions. As Joanna Małecka-Nowosielska notes, currently one of the most frequently raised topics raised by customers is ecology: Energy saving, waste segregation, greenery, natural materials – this is an important trend resulting from formal requirements and economics, but also from our beliefs about the legitimacy of using such solutions. People are looking for contact with nature: If they don’t have access to a private garden, they ask for a terrace or even a balcony. Greenery in common areas is also important, the view from the window – preferably on the trees and soothing nature.
Arts, craftsmanship and individualism
Among the expectations of real estate buyers, there is also an increasing need for an individual character of the interior, which will emphasize the personality of its owner. Premium customers value unconventional, unique solutions and focus on individualism and originality ,” says Anna Branicka. For this reason, they increasingly value works of art, natural or raw materials and the creations of artisans, whose works give interiors a truly original character. An architect must not only have product knowledge, but also a number of partners in the arts and crafts in order to be able to respond to the demand for genuinely individual interiors. It is very important to recognize the client’s needs in terms of their personal preferences, passions and style in order to be able to offer one-of-a-kind solutions.
Izabela Jakul, co-owner of the Istota art gallery in Gdynia, when asked what are the current trends in art, invariably answers in the same way: “It doesn’t matter.” Above all, the work should be liked by the person who looks at it every day. Of course, it must match the interior, but a person, not a house or apartment. If these two conditions are met, i.e. I buy what makes me happy and what allows me to express myself, then a valuable object (painting, sculpture, artistic fabric) will cope anywhere, in any space. Sometimes it will be a complement, sometimes a contrasting accent, sometimes it will steal all the attention in the interior. If the owner accepts it – everything is fine. It is important to choose from good art (which is not at all the same as expensive), but also to focus on individualism. Our gallery offers a private view formula – you can make an appointment outside of opening hours and ask to show objects from a specific group: a specific artist, only red paintings, only abstractions or landscapes, or finally everything up to a certain amount. Then you can look and watch in peace until you feel this unique delight. Because emotions are the most important thing in art and no fashion can change that.

Stop, find peace, surround yourself with people who have a heart for you. Imagine a multitude of voices that are saying one important message at the same time. On 12 September, on the patio of the Olivia Centre in Gdańsk, this vision will become a reality when seven choirs from the Tri-City join forces to perform the song “Sobie i Wam” together.
September 12 at 17:00 on the patio of the Olivia Centre in Gdańsk, a unique choral event will take place, during which the song “Sobie i Wam” by Katarzyna Nosowska and Marcin Macuk will be performed. The initiator of the meeting is the Olivia Centre Choir, which, together with other ensembles from the Tri-City and the surrounding area – m.in. the Chamber Choir (Ekolan), the Sopot Chamber Choir Continuo, the Fahrenheit Alumni Choir “Non Serio”, the Academic Choir of the University of Gdańsk, the Choir of the Oliwa Neighborhood House “Po Sąsiadach”, the Lira Choir Association, the Zawisza Czarny Male Shanty Choir, the SANS Mundus CantatFestival Choir and the choir at the PARK ON Association – will join forces to sing this important message together.
The piece will be heard for the first time in this unique arrangement, written especially for the Olivia Centre Choir, in such a large (about 200 choristers) group of amateur artists. The performance will be graced by professional musicians of the instrumental ensemble: Karolina Krzyżanowska – piano, Hubert Baumann – guitar, Krzysztof Hnatiuk – bass, Tomasz Hoffman – drums.
The event will be hosted by an experienced conductor Wiktoria Pagieła – the founder and artistic director of the Olivia Centre Choir and this project.
” We want to convey through music that instead of constant rush and consumerism, it is worth surrounding yourself with wise people and experiencing peace of mind ,” says Marta Moksa, a choir member and organizing director of the event. ” We believe that singing together by several hundred people can move even those who do not expect it.
After a joint performance of “Sobie i Wam”, each choir will present a song of their choice. Then, an integration meeting is planned, which will create a unique space for exchanging experiences, establishing new contacts and building lasting relationships in the music community. Such events are not only about music – they are also about community, mutual support and inspiration, which help to develop passion, improve artistic quality and have a positive impact on the well-being of participants.
Research shows that singing in a group improves mental health, reduces stress, and strengthens feelings of belonging and happiness. Making music together allows you to find inner peace, and at the same time builds social bonds and a sense of meaning. That is why such events, which bring together artists and music lovers, have a deep sense and meaning for both participants and the entire local community.
We invite you to participate!
The performance of “Sobie i Wam” will be recorded, so during the singing, the event will be a film set – admission to it is free and open to all music lovers, but during the recording the audience will be asked for patience and cooperation with the filmmakers. The singing of individual choirs is different – then it will be cheerful and loud! Come 12 September at 5:00 p.m. on the patio of Olivia Centre to feel the magic of singing together and become part of something special.

Two beach volleyball courts were built in the largest Polish business center Olivia Centre. After the passion development clubs that have been developed for years, the time has come to create our own sports infrastructure. The new pitches have already started, and their popularity confirms that there is a demand for such infrastructure in business facilities.
I will not exaggerate if I say that Olivia is a unique place – says Maciej Olszewski, Director of the Communication Department of Olivia Centre. This is where the residents’ work, education and non-professional passions, including sports ones, intertwine and complement each other. A few years ago, in the Gdańsk Shipyard and in cooperation with our neighbour, we launched a beach volleyball court, which was a novelty if we think about business centres. In June 2025, we commissioned two additional, full-size pitches for employees already on the premises of Olivia Centre. And this is an absolute exception. The pitches are free of charge and, what makes them even more special, you can book them yourself. Planning games is therefore as easy as meetings in conference rooms. Effect? Employees use the pitches regularly, company and inter-company teams organize matches and mini-tournaments themselves; we also have already completed this year’s first Olivia Centre Beach Volleyball Tournament. We have almost 380 bookings in our database so far! Teams from Just Join IT, Ferchau, Griddynamics, Speeron, Graphcore, Bayer, Amazon, PwC, thyssenkrupp, Fujifilm, Speednet and Enspirion play here. Before the summer holidays, the pitches were eagerly used, especially in the morning, by students of neighbouring schools. Interestingly, in May they were mainly high school graduates, for whom volleyball was, I think, a great way to relieve stress. Sport is part of our broader wellbeing strategy, in which we support the activities of residents and care for their well-being and health. Beach volleyball has a low entry threshold, quickly and permanently connects people, it is outdoor movement, building good habits and team integration. Only advantages.
The pitches are full-size playing fields with a sand surface, located next to the newest building of Olivia Prime B. They are surrounded by flower meadows, which have been an additional attraction of the centre since the beginning of the season. Both pitches are in demand all day, 7 days a week. An online booking system is very helpful in their functioning. This makes these pitches more likely to be used by groups of players than pitches right on the seashore. Thanks to this, you can be sure that the pitch will be free and available immediately to play.
The system also helps in team building and mutual competition. In this way, it is easy to find partners to play and learn and set up a schedule of meetings and games between regular teams. Therefore, pitches play an important role in the integration of employees, creating the Olivia community – a group of diverse people who build a network of contacts also outside their organizations.
It is worth noting that in initiatives promoting physical activity, we are eager to use the potential of academic partnerships,” emphasizes Maciej Olszewski. We cooperate, among m.in, with the University of Gdańsk and the Gdańsk University of Technology, thanks to which employees from Olivia have access to high-quality infrastructure and good trainers.
In Olivia Centre, a project of building ambassador clubs has been developed for years – clubs for the development of employees’ passions, which are created on the basis of numerous interests and passions: from group sports, such as football, volleyball or basketball, to running together, mountain biking on the hills of the Tri-City Landscape Park, through the Olivia Yacht Club, a photography club, to the activity of the Olivia Centre Choir, bringing together 40 people from various companies from Olivia.
One of the values that we provide to our residents is a widely developed social and sports program – says Bogusław Wieczorek, the representative of the management board of Olivia Centre. Passion development clubs, which include sports projects, are very popular and are often a canvas for building a strong community, focused not only on business, but also on recreation and personal development. The research that we have been conducting for years confirms the high level of interest in such initiatives on the part of employees, and is appreciated by employers due to the importance of this project in the process of team integration, employee motivation and additional benefits associated with their residency in Olivia.
The crisis on the office market is changed by all cases. Currently, individual new office investments are being carried out. For the best, this can be a business opportunity and there are many indications that the largest Polish business center can make good use of its time.
The first six months of 2025 meant 10 lease agreements with new clients for Olivia Centre, and the total area of newly signed and renewed contracts amounts to 22 thousand. m.kw. Surface. New residents include companies such as HedgeServ, DHL Global Forwarding and worldbox. The new premises also mean new opportunities for residents: a new canteen, a bank and a medical facility have appeared. The first half of the year in Olivia Centre also saw the opening of offices of new tenants who signed contracts last year. These included Adar, Archer Poland, Capgemini, HK Finance and mBank. Importantly, among the signed agreements there was also a transaction for the largest office space in the Tri-City this year – the confidential office lease extension agreement covered a total of 14,000 employees. sq.m.
Olivia is very much using the flight-to-quality trend, in which companies change their offices to smaller, but better ones – “from bigger to better” – says Maciej Kotarski, director at Olivia Centre. As a result of remote and hybrid work, the average size of space in a lease agreement in Poland has decreased by approx. 20%, and thanks to the reduction in office space and costs, companies can afford the best offices. As a result, this year we gained 10 new residents, and since 2020 a total of over 70 new residents, who have occupied a total of over 45,000 m2 of offices and services in Olivia. This makes our community richer, more diverse, and more dynamic – these are unexpected but very positive side effects of remote and hybrid work.
Olivia continues to develop intensively and expands with residential buildings. Olivia Pulse, which won the main prize in the Baltic Real Estate competition as Future Project in the last six months, is under construction. At the same time, Olivia Home, the company responsible for the implementation of this and other investments in the residential segment, won the main prize as a Residential Developer.
Olivia also continues its development towards a multifunctional centre, open to the residents of the Tri-City and tourists. The Arco by Paco Perez restaurant was the only restaurant in northern Poland to be awarded a Michelin star, and this year it received it for the second time. Treinta y Tres retained the Bib Gourmand distinction. We want to continue our development towards a fully multifunctional, open centre, where everyone will find something for themselves – says Bogusław Wieczorek, the representative of the management board of Olivia Centre. The functions we offer in our area are of great importance in creating a friendly space. It is very popular among children, young people and their parents are happy with Olivia Garden, or PIXEL XL, which attracts guests from all over the region. Business and lovers of sophisticated cuisine flock to the prestigious restaurants on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, and the observation deck on the 32nd floor is invariably popular both during the day and in the evenings, when concerts, discos or other themed events are organized here.
Maciej Kotarski also adds new initiatives that affect better social relations in Olivia: This season also saw the appearance of new attractions for residents: two outdoor beach volleyball courts, an outdoor pool table and a stall with seasonal fruit. All these points are very popular . We will certainly follow this path also in the coming months and years, and it is worth emphasizing that the new initiatives are also accompanied by those that we have been continuing for years: the Olivia Yacht Club, initiatives promoting safety such as Safety Day, honorary blood donation, integration events as part of the Summer on the Patio series, awards for residents and interesting personalities Olivia Prize – adds Maciej Kotarski.
Rents in office buildings are related to the class of the office. There is no discussion about this. It is difficult to expect similar rental costs in class A buildings, which meet the most stringent standards, to the costs of renting space in buildings offering much lower quality of space, often worse location and fewer amenities. However, what is worth taking into account when deciding on the location of the office is the amount of operating costs, the level of which may be surprising and to the benefit of the most modern and prestigious facilities.
According to data published in July this year by Rzeczpospolita based on REDD analyses, there has been a rebound in recent months and rental prices have been slowly but gradually increasing. Rents on regional markets range from 13-14 euros per square meter of space. This applies in particular to buildings that have received high ratings in environmental certification systems or are located in the most prestigious locations.
Importantly, the analysis of the data published by the BNM portal confirms that just as the amount of rents is strongly related to the class of leased space, the amount of service charges is at a very similar level in class A and B buildings, and often in the newest and largest buildings it is even lower than in class B buildings m.kw. and for example in Olivia Centre these fees amount to PLN 24.70 in Olivia Star – the highest and most prestigious building, and in other buildings they range from PLN 21 to 23.
Our low level of service charges is related to the scale of Olivia, which is the largest office center in Poland. Thanks to this, it has the ability to manage costs within its own, very effective facility management, property and asset management teams, as well as the controlling team. This allows you to effectively control costs and integrate them vertically – emphasizes Maciej Kotarski, director of Olivia Centre. – The costs are spread over over 100 tenants, and the size of the facility, covering over 175 thousand. sq.m. of rental space makes it easier to optimize costs for projects such as patio reconstruction, modernization or construction of a new pitch. It is also mainly the scale that allows for numerous own investments and expands our capabilities. In addition, thanks to our good relations and investment in the integration of the Olivia community, we manage to find partners in new ventures among partners from Olivia. A good example is the sponsorship of Omida of two public pool tables or a relaxation and coworking zone, which were provided by Nowy Styl.
Very competitive rates of fees in the largest and most modern office buildings may also be surprising if we take into account the number of additional benefits that are offered to tenants. In Olivia, for example, it is Olivia Garden – a year-round exotic garden, extensive green areas filled with tall trees, pocket gardens, beach volleyball courts, recreational and leisure areas, an observation deck on the 32nd floor of Olivia Star, as well as a number of initiatives and events addressed to tenants’ employees, influencing the integration and development of the community.
12 years of experience in managing such a large project as Olivia allows us to manage our space very effectively – says Monika Pietrzak-Borowska, Director of the Property Management Department at Olivia Centre. – It is also important that we do not entrust the management of Olivia to external entities, and we run everything in-house. This allows for much more effective data analysis and process optimization based on the developed knowledge. In this way, we have a real impact on the formation of the costs of the center’s operation and the ability to provide our tenants with very competitive rates. Running the centre based on its own human resources is also of great importance in the area of building good relations with Residents and quickly responding to their needs. What is more, we offer our services to entities outside of Olivia – owners and tenants of other properties can also benefit from our experience.
The data also confirm the stabilization of demand for office space in the regions. Newmark’s report confirms that contracts in the first quarter of 2025 covered the level of 176,900 m.kw. and mainly concerned renegotiations. This is 20% lower than in the previous quarter, but 27% higher than in the same period of 2024. This trend is also confirmed by the summary of the largest Polish business centre – Olivia Centre. Lease agreements signed in the first half of the year reached the level of 22 thousand. m.kw. Among them, there were 10 new tenants, but most of the contracts signed were related to lease renegotiations with existing customers.
The weather was good, and so were the moods! “Summer on the patio. Summer Wild Ride” attracted lovers of two wheels and more. We have made sure that everyone can find something for themselves.
On July 25, our patio turned into an arena for summer activities. On Friday, we combined recreation, sport, relaxation and a great atmosphere. There was no shortage of attractions. At the CityFit stand, you had the opportunity to test your fitness and reflexes in dynamic cycling challenges – the best received vouchers for professional service. The team from Cycling Boutique rewarded for knowledge about the Tour De France, and under the Jucki Sport tent you could quickly repair your two-wheeler, get expert advice or just talk about bikes.
Flatland BMX workshops, conducted by the SlowB team – one of the best riders of this spectacular discipline – were very popular. Acrobatic shows on a bicycle attracted spectators and aroused sincere appreciation for the skills of the performers.
There was also a MEVO stand on site, where you could learn about the rules of using city bikes. The winners will receive prizes: vouchers for free rides.
There is also a relaxation zone. You could drink excellent coffee served from the Bike Café, as well as cool down with ice cream from Salted Caramel – what a perfect complement to a summer afternoon.
The event was open. The turnout was good, the weather and – most importantly – you were great!
