About Emilia Durka-Zielińska and Walenty Durka

As a married couple of architects, Emilia and Walenty together create the DOM ARCHITEKÓW brand. In 2007, they started their business by building their own, pioneering wooden house with a studio. In 2011, they received the PLGBC Green Building Award for the best ecological project. It was a testing ground for testing the assumptions used in wooden construction technology and the zero energy consumption standard. Since 2007, they have specialized in designing wooden ecological buildings and buildings with the highest energy standards. Their portfolio includes both single-family houses and commercial facilities. In 2012, as designers and main contractors, they completed the first ecological and wooden house in their own, innovative modular system. In 2014, they built their own production of ecological houses. This is where their ecological modular houses are made. To manage the client's project "from design to key", they created the DA HOUSES collection. They developed an innovative JUST IN TIME house construction project and an original construction of a SOLID WOOD MODULE using solid wood in prefabricated house technology. The DA team creates/builds modular, ecological buildings tailored to our times. DA houses are open to nature and shape the lifestyle of their residents so that they live in harmony with nature. DA houses are mobile also with foundations. Their modular technology gives an extraordinary sense of security. It is a contemporary structure made of solid wood combined with the elimination of harmful building materials. Their education, pioneering experience and know-how, as well as the use of their own wooden house with zero energy consumption, allow them to design at the highest level, both in the design of the project and its implementation. In 2011, they were among the best Polish architectural studios. In the 2022 they have 1st place in the DSM AWARDS, category environmental for the design - DA HOUSE no2.

Interview with Emilia Durka-Zielińska and Walenty Durka

Emilia Durka-Zielińska and Walenty Durka ("EDAWD") interviewed on Wednesday, 15 May.

Could you please tell us about your experience as a designer, artist, architect or creator?

EDAWD : We both graduated from the University of Technology in Poznań, but it was only after graduation that our real learning began. Internships in small and large architectural offices undoubtedly contributed a lot to our education, but it was the construction of our own ecological house in passive technology that gave us real experience in the profession. The house was awarded by the Green Building Council as the best ecological facility in Poland in 2011. This gave us the confidence that we were going in the right direction. We have been in the profession for over 20 years. We work and have worked for individual clients and have participated in large projects, such as designing a hospital and a large corporate hall in a passive standard. We have gained experience in small and various large projects.
