Medusa Group

What Medusa Group does

Medusa Group is a privately-held Polish architecture studio founded in 1997 by Przemo Łukasik and Łukasz Zagała, operating as Medusa Group Sp. z o.o. sp.k. from its Bytom headquarters with offices in Warsaw and Dubai (Medusa Architects FZ-LLC). The firm delivers a full-service design practice spanning architectural design, interior design, urban planning, graphic design, and spatial installations, with a particular specialization in adaptive reuse of post-industrial Silesian heritage and urban regeneration projects across office, residential, hospitality, retail, and public-use typologies.

The studio serves enterprise clients primarily through direct commissions and architectural competitions, with a marquee client list including Skanska, TDJ Estate, Henniger Investment, ING Bank Śląski, Echo Investment, Globalworth, CD PROJEKT RED, and Hotel Nobu Warsaw. Each engagement is bespoke and custom-quoted; the firm does not publish standardized pricing. The technology stack relies on standard architectural tooling (BIM, 3D visualization) augmented by an EU-funded process innovation delivering 3D building visualization and augmented reality presentation tools intended to support remote client engagement. The firm also operates an international partnership branded 'dwp|medusa architects' in collaboration with DWP (Design & Wellbeing Partnership).

Revenue is derived entirely from professional services fees and is not publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held by its founding architects and a small partner group (~4 partners as of the latest data), with a team of approximately 60 architects and supporting staff. Brand reputation is the primary commercial asset, evidenced by five European Property Awards wins, five Mies van der Rohe Award nominations, the 2024 Honorowa Nagroda SARP, and the 2025 MIPIM 'Best Urban Regeneration Project' for FUZJA in Łódź.
