Tilia Authentic Home

Weathered timbered cladding, historical beams, reused bricks – the Tilia Authentic Home in the river landscape of the Vistula Delta has not been built on, but rather with the traces of history.
The newly built guesthouse south of the Bay of Gdansk is a subtle combination of old substance, modern architecture and contemporary design.
From the outside, Tilia is reminiscent of two interconnected warehouses, with large glass façades.
The construction and interior fittings are largely made from the building materials of former barns and houses, as well as the fragments of a 200-year-old neighbouring arcade house. The eleven-metre-high ceiling beams, which came from a foundry in Grudziądz, are particularly striking.
Tilia is named after the two linden trees growing near the house, and the Latin names of the four flats underline the reference to the elements of nature. The Lignum apartment on the ground floor is literally dominated by weather-beaten wood, and all the rooms are bathed in earthy colours and shades of grey. Reflecting the element, the airy Ventus apartment is on the first floor and is decorated in white and grey tones, with accents of old wood. Full of light and green views, spread over two floors and a terrace, Solis is the sunniest and largest of the apartments.
In Terra, too, the name says it all: the apartment has a grounded ambience with lots of wood and red-coloured clay and has a small mezzanine floor as well as a terrace and a courtyard.
All apartments are furnished with benches, tables and beds that designer and owner Katarzyna Pielaszkiewicz herself created from reclaimed oak and ash and are complemented by modern furniture. Surrounding the house is a spacious garden with fruit trees, beehives and the historical arcade house where Katarzyna lives with her family.
