Moxy Poznań Airport is a 120-room hotel of the Moxy brand from the Marriott International portfolio, located directly at Poznań-Ławica Airport. The client was Chopin Airport Development, the substituting investor was Polski Holding Nieruchomości, the general contractor was Warbud S.A., and the architectural design was by the Emkaa Architekci studio from Warsaw. The building, with an area of over 5,300 m², opened in 2019.
The Moxy brand targets the young, mobile generation of business travellers — with a strong emphasis on designer interiors, open communal spaces, and a 24-hour bar area. The aesthetic standard of the Marriott network required ceilings that depart significantly from typical hotel solutions, both in terms of geometry and surface finish.
Our scope included the installation of a bespoke ceiling designed to the architect's individual specification. The structure is based on an irregular triangular grid in which every vertex is positioned at a different height — the result is a polyhedral, crystalline surface with variable geometry, where no single triangular plane ever runs parallel to its neighbour. Each panel was manufactured individually with a unique dimension and angle of inclination, and installation required precise plotting of every vertex in three-dimensional space.
Some panels were produced in a solid variant with a copper finish, others as perforated — the layout of acoustic panels was designed to distribute sound absorption zones evenly across the ceiling geometry, providing reverberation control in the open lobby space. Panel edges were highlighted with a black outline that accentuates the triangulation pattern and creates a distinctive graphic effect visible from any point in the communal area.
