The art of revitalization

An address for connoisseurs

Some buildings are the background.
This one is the foreground.

Matejki 54 stands in the heart of the Johow District – a place created at the beginning of the 20th century as a manifesto that an apartment can be a form of art.

The architects of those years sculpted the facades. They composed the staircases. They wrote the district like a musical score. Matejki 54 is one of its most beautiful notes.

For those who already know…

Sometimes we only know we’ve been waiting for something once we see it.

Matejki 54 attracts even before its revitalization.
There is no official offer yet, and some already know that this is the place for them. These are the ones looking for spaces with character, proportions, and history. And they refuse to compromise.

Do you already know too?

A step away from Wilson Park

Opposite the historical building stretches one of the oldest parks in Poznań, founded at the end of the 19th century. Old trees, paths, ponds, roses. Inside – the Palm House, the second largest in Europe, with vegetation you won’t see anywhere else at this latitude.

An address you don’t need to leave to have access to the city. And to which you return to take a break from it.

The year 1904.
The finest Art Nouveau in this part of Europe.

This is how the Johow District was described by Professor Jan Skuratowicz, one of the most prominent Art Nouveau experts in Poland.

From the studio of Emil Asmus

The historical buildings in the Johow District were designed in the studio of Emil Asmus – a Poznań native and graduate of the Charlottenburg Polytechnic in Berlin. Matejki 54 was created within his circle in 1904.

Max Johow, a visionary of Poznań architecture, didn’t just build ordinary houses. He designed a lifestyle that knew no compromises. The historical buildings in Johow-Gelände were meant to rival the most prestigious areas of Berlin.

Most of the Johow-Gelände buildings are pure Art Nouveau, and the architects competed to see whose building a passerby would remember. Matejki 54 is different – it is an eclectic mix of styles, drawing on notes of Art Nouveau, Neo-Romanesque, Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance.

The historical building at Matejki 54 stands out even in a district where every building was designed to enchant.

A family secret

The investor was the merchant Paul Bąkowski – a self-made man who wanted his house to tell his story. He ordered a coat of arms to be sculpted with the letter “B,” supported by two angels. On the other side of the entrance – two shields with helmets, crests, and caducei, the symbols of commerce.

He did not inherit a family history, so he decided to write it from scratch.
