What HRA Architekci does

HRA Architekci is a Warsaw-headquartered, privately-held Polish architectural practice founded in 2004 by Wojciech Hermanowicz (formerly a partner at MWH Architects), Błażej Hermanowicz and Stanisław Rewski. Since 2017 it has operated as a group of two specialised entities — HRA spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością sp.k. and HRA Architekci sp. z o.o. — functionally sharing work between multi-discipline architectural design and professional project management/investor services. The firm employs 100+ architects and designers, placing it among the largest architectural offices in Poland, and serves large enterprise real estate developers, corporations and public institutions with office, residential, public and adaptive-reuse projects across multiple Polish voivodeships.

The firm's core offering is comprehensive architectural design services — concept, multi-discipline documentation, BIM coordination, and author's supervision — delivered on a Building Information Modeling stack comprising Autodesk Revit for design documentation, Navisworks for multi-discipline coordination, Autodesk Dynamo for process automation, and BIM360 as a Common Data Environment. It also delivers sustainability and accessibility certification services (BREEAM, LEED, WELL, OBIEKT BEZ BARIER), with 20+ certified projects including Poland-firsts such as Mickiewicz Estate (first BREEAM-certified residential in Poland), Holm House (first OBIEKT BEZ BARIER housing estate), and Varso 2 (BREEAM Outstanding). Distribution is direct-to-client through competitions (SARP, EU Mies Award) and enterprise sales; pricing is project-based professional services and not publicly disclosed.

HRA Architekci monetises design fees on a project basis through enterprise engagements with large Polish developers (HB Reavis, Skanska, Penta Investments, Dom Development, Yareal, Adgar, ATAL, Budimex Nieruchomości, Monday Development, Qualia, Marvipol, Polnord, OKAM) and corporate/institutional clients (PGNiG, CERRAD, Schindler Polska, Pol-Aqua, Asseco Poland). Marquee projects include Varso Place (70,000 m² office complex co-developed with Foster + Partners), FOREST campus, Nowogrodzka Square, LIXA, Gdański Business Center C&D, and post-2009 recognition spanning SARP Awards, Eurobuild Awards, PLGBC Green Building Awards, International Property Awards and an EU Mies Award nomination. The firm holds no external investment and operates as a founder-controlled partnership model.
