Retro Apartments Poznań – stylish apartments in the centre of Poznań
The 20’s and 30’s are the colourful decades of the last era. At that time, charleston, full of energy and vitality, ruled the dance floors. Futurists and avant-gardists glided along the roads in modern automobiles, praising progress. In the cinematography, Adolf Dymsza, Aleksander Żabczyński, Pola Negri and Tola Mankiewiczówna celebrated their triumphs. The inter-war period is also time of releasing music from its corset – the sounds of jazz and blues reach all corners of the world from beyond the vast ocean. It is time of great discoveries and time of perfect interior architecture. If you want to move to a world full of colours and creative temperament, come to our tenement house in the heart of Wielkopolska – to Poznań. Already after crossing the threshold of the apartment you will feel that time flows here differently, in its unique rhythm.
Retro Apartments Poznań- a building with a soul and a history
Our tenement house is a building with a past. Year 1923 is significant for the house, when a mercer Marceli Pielatowski bought it and made it the centre of his family life. War turmoil caused the loss of its owner at the time. However, because of the determination of his relatives, today we can enjoy the building, where the decorative gems are located, and their significance brings to mind the elegant inter-war years.
