I also confirm that the design services have been properly performed in accordance with the rules of the art of construction and properly completed.”
“Since the beginning of our cooperation, Horizon Studio has been actively involved in the activities carried out by the Chamber, supporting the development of relations between Polish and Scandinavian businesses in Poland, as well as the promotion of Scandinavian values in Poland, is involved in dialogue between business and business support institutions, and actively works on for the development of the Małopolska region. Cooperation with Horizone Studio is characterized by openness, fresh perspective and simple communication, which is extremely valuable for the Chamber when implementing various projects”.
“Horizone Studio met the high standards of 7R Logistic and MAN by performing the conceptual design, construction and detailed design, as well as providing author’s supervision for the construction of MAN station facilities in Modlnica near Krakow. The office fully met our requirements and those of our demanding client, demonstrating great experience, reliability, as well as efficiency during design work and official procedures. Therefore, we are pleased to recommend Horizone Studio as a professional and trustworthy design office.”
“(…) The planned complex of buildings was designed as class A office buildings, in accordance with Modern Office Standards Polska (…). The planned investment at the design stage was subjected to multi-criteria ecological certification according to the BREEAM standard, obtaining the BREEAM Interim Excellent certificate. For the planned investment, on November 20, 2015, the Mayor of Krakow issued the final decision, building permit no. 2984/2015. Design of the UMWM building complex at al.

“We have been cooperating with Horizone Studio for almost ten years and we keep coming back to them with subsequent investment projects. The largest jointly implemented projects are the Textorial Park II office and service complex project in Księży Młyn in Łódź and the SILO ecological district in Jaworzno. Textorial Park II received the BREEAM Excellent certificate and at the time of certification it was the highest rated office facility in Poland according to BREEAM International NC 2016. It is worth adding that this project includes, among others: revitalization of historic buildings belonging to the former K.W. factory Scheibler, so even more demanding. SILO is a larger-scale undertaking, Horizone Studio prepared for us a project for the development of 20 ha of post-industrial land in Jaworzno, and we can boast of the first BREEAM Communities certificate for a residential project in Central and Eastern Europe. Each time, the architects ensured a high standard of the project, were responsible for obtaining permits and participated in defining functional solutions, and also proposed a number of ecological solutions and – what is important for us – allowed us to keep almost half of the area biologically active for the local community in Jaworzno.
