Located on a deteriorated land on the outskirts of Katowice, the Broken house is inspired by the uplifted layers of soil which interweaves one another. The structural design contains rectangular solids contrasting with the ribbon which is like winds around after it emerges from the ground.

It is the leitmotif of the building, combining a variety of functions: starting with the swimming pool to the living room with a fireplace and then to the bedroom upstairs.

A noteworthy feature of the ramp is elimination of stoops. Such a solution was achieved by bending the surface of the course, which made it possible to keep its outer edges straight, without bends typical for such structures.
