The multi-family house located in Krasickiego Street in Warsaw’s district of Mokotów was built in 1933. During the Second World War, it was heavily damaged by a bomb strike, as a result of which it lost most of its front wall and ceilings all the way down to the basement. The rest was burnt. After 1945, it was designated for demolition. Soon, however, this decision was withdrawn, as the nearly entirely demolished capital suffered from a lack of housing. The villa was reconstructed, but with cheap materials, and unfaithfully to its original, pre-war design.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the building came into the hands of the Foundation for Polish Science, which decided to turn it into its new headquarters. The modernized building functions as an office space – it consists of the underground level with a car park, technical rooms and archives, and of the four floors above it. On the ground floor, there is the reception, conference rooms, a multi-purpose space, and offices, which also take up the rest of the building.
