As is often the case, the family house that this couple built for themselves over a decade ago in Krakow, Poland, didn’t keep up with their evolving needs as the years went by resulting in many spaces being underutilised or completely unused. Enter local interior design practice Anke Design Studio who thoroughly renovated the house in accordance with the owners’ current lifestyle and growing family.
