Project

A team of architects (Joanna Smoczyńska-Bazan, Wojciech Bazan, Mikołaj Gomółka) began preparing a detailed concept for the development of both plots along with an architectural concept for the revitalization and expansion of existing former farm buildings in June 2024. The first results of the work are presented by the following visualizations and floor plans of individual floors of both buildings. The concept assumes the reconstruction of farm buildings in their original spatial proportions while preserving gable roofs and architectural details, e.g. fragments of stone wall in the building adjacent to plot 481 (north wall - on the plot boundary - and east), original roof covering and use of original brick. Full accessibility of buildings for people with mobility disabilities is planned through the construction of a ramp and a gallery along the first floor and a footbridge connecting both buildings. On plot 481, the construction of a seasonal walking shelter in light construction, not permanently connected to the ground, is planned, which thanks to a glazing system will refer to the greenhouse that existed before the war in the park and palace complex. We assume the possibility of setting up a "winter garden" in it (sensitive plants will be able to be stored in the shelter during winter, and then transported in pots to the archery ranges for the summer season) and a "winter pavilion" for archers (possibility of training all year round). Equipping the northern slope of the shelter with a tribune with two rows of seats for a total of 120 places will enable safe and comfortable participation in sports and recreational events for the audience.

The following part of the visualization presents the current state of neighboring buildings and visualizations of the object taking into account the remains of the palace and farm complex in Smolec. We hope that the implemented concept of Smolec Archery Park will contribute to making a decision about comprehensive revitalization of the remaining objects of the complex (palace ruins, residential buildings at 2 and 2A Lipowa Street, barns converted into production halls).
