Abstract

The paper presents a case study of the Perfumiarnia residential development in Poznań, demonstrating how an architectural vision was translated into spatial and technological solutions within the historical and natural context of the Łazarz district and Wilson Park. The methods include historical and urban context analysis, design analysis, and interpretation of changes during implementation. The findings indicate that architectural quality arises from a deep reading of the site, integration with greenery, and careful material and detail decisions, while maintaining urban coherence despite market pressures. In response to COVID-19 and rising costs, design adjustments were introduced without abandoning the core concept, emphasising flexibility, negotiation, and stakeholder cooperation. Perfumiarnia in Poznań is proof that architectural “dreams” can be realised when grounded in context analysis, pragmatism, and sensitivity to social and economic conditions.
