architect. Szymon Landau
finished. 1911–1912
Sweet little courtyard you'd never expect to find amongst all the garages and warehouses. Currently housing a great restaurant/wine bar and some fru-fru home decor shops. The former lace factory (fabryka koronek Landau) was bought by businessman Stefan Bogdanski in the mid 90's. The factory was slated for demolition but he saw potential here for (the already trendy in the west) loft style apartments and studios he'd seen in London. The idea quickly took off and soon this little enclave was getting some interesting neighbors, more furniture design stores and two clubs: Piekarnia and CDQ. Some have started to call this neighborhood Warsaw's Soho. I think that's pushing it considering it consists of one street.
